Morpheus is a word processor.
Currently only formatted text is processed.
The number of pages is arbitrary.
It is limited only by the memory.
It handles different text formats that are read / written or written only.
The native format of Morpheus is RTF. Furthermore, it reads and writes ODT.
Morpheus writes PDF and EPUB but can not read it. The pages are only printed on a Postscript compatible printer.
On the window of Morpheus you can drop files. They will then be displayed.

Mopheus has a shell interface with the following commands: INPUT / A, ANTIALIAS / N:

INPUT: The path to the file
ANTIALIAS: Anti-aliasing of the font (0 - 4)


Version 1.0:

06:42Thanks for your efforts Carsten, and I have a few observations about your new version of Morpheus - which is a marginally better version than previous incarnations - though it's CPU intensive - just for writing text, which is a bit unusual.

******************************************
Anyway, having said that, unlike other wordprocessors you have to place the cursor at the start (left hand side of a line of text) for it to change justification of the text on that line alone, as it doesn't seem to change multiple lines of text at once, from left to right to centre justification, as you cannot do it by merely by highlighting several lines of text
and clicking on the centre justification icon, as you would with all the wordprocessors and text editors I have come across.
*******************************************

Change RENDER_PRI Tooltype (default = 0)



**************************************************************
Sadly, neither is there any wordwrap, so text that has been centre justified then 'bleeds' off the edge of the page, either side if you have centre justifcation option active, so you get a partial line of text, as in, what you wrote at the start of the line (left hand to right hand formatted text) if you type enough text has disappeared off the left hand edge of the page and then text 'bleeds' off the right hand edge of the page as it extends further along the line.
*************************************************************

*************************************************************
As there is no word-wrapping, and maybe the text just isn't handled correctly anyway, so text doesn't get an automatic 'Line Feed' onto the next line down, as you cannot set the number of characters on a line of text, as far as I can work out - overall this latest version is somewhat disappointing. It does do stuff, but you have to work within a highly hybrid framework of text/image/loading/saving, etc. routines that only Carsten could have thought of, and I don't mean that is a good thing, sadly.
**************************************************************

Do you mean hyphenation ?
The default is "no Hyphenation" and hyphenation language is "german"
Change this tooltypes: HYPENATIONMETHODE=0 and HYPHENATIONPATH= Path to hyphenation dictionary
(HYPENATIONMETHODE=0 - 2 / 0 = without, 1 = on space letters, 2 = hyphenation lib)

I have barely scratched the surface of what to try as a test, but what I did, only the cursor movement seems better, though the text highlighting still remains as it was, and doesn't work as virtually all wordprocessors do across all Operating Systems, so I would say it's unfixed, and painfully awkward.
