'''Fontastic''' is a character graphics screen editor for DOS, specializing in font-related features. It was developed by Ray Carson and RC Software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the formats it can save to is its &amp;quot;.COM&amp;quot; format. It is in the form of a [[DOS executable (.com)|COM]] file which, when executed, prints the ([[ANSI Art]]-like) graphics to the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Identification ==&lt;br /&gt;
The first 272 bytes of a COM file might always be the same. The first 16 are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 e8 6b 00 e8 59 00 e8 47 00 a1 d1 01 8e c0 bf 00&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An ASCII signature starting with &amp;quot;{{magic|&amp;amp;nbsp;Ray&amp;amp;nbsp;Carson}}&amp;quot; appears at offset 217.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The file might always be 4273 bytes in size.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Software ==&lt;br /&gt;
* {{CdTextfiles|pier03/018/font100.zip|Fontastic v1.00}}&lt;br /&gt;
* {{CdTextfiles|pier03/049/font130.zip|Fontastic v1.30}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Sample files ==&lt;br /&gt;
* The THE_AD.COM file included with the software.&lt;br /&gt;
* {{CdTextfiles|smmodem/COMM/TRANSRC3.ZIP|TRANSRC3.ZIP}} → T*.COM&lt;br /&gt;
