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 unusual. It 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.

[edit] Identification

The software (v2.2 at least) seems to identify its files by looking for the ASCII text fragment " FONT MANIA, VERSIO" (note leading space) at offset 7.
