INTERFACE PasswordFont;
Used in conjunction with a type-in, this font
can create a disguised input field.
IMPORT Font;
PROCEDURE New (base: Font.T := Font.BuiltIn;
ch : CHAR := '*' ): Font.T;
Returns a new font that displays all characters as if they
were character ch
in font base
. These fonts are useful
for password type-in areas where over-the-shoulder browsing
is not wanted, but alone they do not provide security. If
the workstation is unattended and the password field can
be cut and pasted, the password can be stolen.
END PasswordFont.
