About
This Manual
Welcome to the GXWaterfall User Manual version 1.1, one
of the first such manuals and probably not the last.The aim of this manual
is to give the user a good working overview of GXWaterfall version 2.0 as
it is in its current state rather than that of being the Zen Of GXWaterfall.
That will have to wait for future versions when GXWaterfall may become a
better known quantity but for the moment GXWaterfall is a brand new font
tool with little in the way of documentation.

It is recommended that GXWaterfall be used with at least

of the large non-roman fonts and which also use lots of extensions.For those
users with only 8 megabytes of system memory it is advised that you turn
off non-critical extensions and control panels.At present GXWaterfall is
PowerPC only but a Fat version may become available.
