Change log:

Fixed problem with saving as image being wrong on certain fonts
Added ability to automatically generate ramps for the current font
Moved fullscreen button on to a real checkbox button

You won’t see a lot of difference for the default font (Lucidia Console 9pt) because I’d created the default ramp specifically for it, but some of the other fonts show a real improvement with the new ramp creator turned on.

Source code will be uploaded when the cvs server starts working again.

Added File/Close menu option
