[Icon] Flyingcode NFO-Viewer 1.0



This NFO-Viewer displays any .nfo or .diz art completely correct by using a font, which consists of all the characters used in the DOS-ASCII character definition.

During the time NFO-Viewer is running, this TrueType font is installed to the Windows fontpool under 'NFO Font Temp-Install...'.

Features of this version:
  • multiple instances
  • editable colorstyles
  • window settings are saved
  • recent files list
  • drag and drop
  • optional association with .nfo .diz and .txt on setup
  • hyperlink parser which lets you visit up to 10 hyperlinks
  • quick character set
  • and more...

This version seems to run stable though it is not tested on many systems yet. If you experience problems using Flyingcode NFO-Viewer, please inform me about that.

One major bug is already known: NFO-Viewer sometimes does not display the correct character set anymore. It will be fixed in a future version. Till then you can use this step-by-step solution:

Solution:
  • Close all instances of the NFO-Viewer
  • Locate the hidden files "nfofont.tmp" and "nfoinst.tmp" (normally stored in the default temporary directory, e.g. "c:\windows\temp\")
  • Delete those files and try to run NFO-Viewer again
  • Do you still experience the same problem? Drop me a line and attach a screenshot of an opened .nfo if possible
