Hi Paul, it's nice to see you again!!!
In the 6 years since you left, FZX became a standard for proportional fonts for the Spectrum. There's now an excellent editor called FZX Editor. You may want to take a look, I bet you will like it!
I can only imagine what could be accomplished in your hands.
Thanks Einar!
I know the fzx format pretty well. When Andrew Owen developed the spec for it he asked me to have a look.
I even made an attempt to write a Python library for reading/writing fzx files long time ago. I should dig it up again.
I'm Hernán, from Buenos Aires. Spectrum fan since 1986.
I've been in the Speccy community since quite long (css and ecss newsgroups, WOS forums, speccy.org forums...) so this is the natural evolution to that
My name is Matt Davies, and I am the creator of the Spectrum 48K (and soon to be 128K & Next) emulator/debugger/assembler/disassembler application Nx. I'm originally from Wales but currently live in Canada. I've work in the video game industry for over 20 years.

Guys, look, I like a joke as much as the next man but this particular topic is not something to muck about with.
I actually prefer Mutant Monty to Manic Miner actually.

I never mentioned Manic Miner, even though that is unquestionably the best game beginning with M. I'm just asking that when the day comes every true Specchum looks into their heart and does what's right.
I am yang from Slovenia. I received my first computer ZX Spectrum 48k as a kid from my uncle in ~1985 and I still have it. I am collecting also other vintage computers and recently I got interested about retro-Spectrum stuff again, because I see that there is still an ongoing community. As a kid I only knew how to LOAD " " the games through the MC Cassette player and view them on CRT TV and I didn't use the Spectrum for anything else back then. I used it for about ~8 years until I eventually replaced it with a more recent PC x86 hardware, and since then it was being stored, together with the remaining cassettes.

Double welcome! Hope you find some nice MIA in your cassettes.
Hey everyone, I'm Jez I've been into the Spectrum since about '83 I guess. Favourite games include Manic Miner, Flying Shark, Renegade, Rastan, River Rescue to name but a few.
Moved on to the Atari ST in '90 (couldn't afford an Amiga!) and now run the ST Format magazine website www.stformat.com. I say I run it, I haven't actually updated it for about 2 years
Other retro interests include Tamiya RC cars, Space Lego and an unhealthy interest in G1 Transformers (pre '86) and their more recent Masterpiece counterparts
