Font Mania is a DOS application for editing and customizing PC-style bitmap fonts. It was developed by REXXCOM Systems.
Its native font format is in the form of a COM file, which doubles as a font loader that can be executed independently of Font Mania.
Executing such a COM file with no parameters changes the current font. Use the "?" parameter to see a list of options.
