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.
