New Beta version 4.5b commited to GIT:

Beta version 4.5b:
Updates
- New 8x8 lens mode (for proportional viewing)
- Optimisations, Refactoring, Bug fixing
- Japan and Euro keyboard versions
- Japan and Euro 8x16 fonts

Tested in OpenMSX and WebMSX

PS: My keyboard matrix is changed for updated MSX2 to MSX2+ RUS.

Nice work @Dolphin101546015

Due to different keyboard mapping, the program (version 5.0) is really hard to use with a non-Russian keyboard, for example "H" for help becomes "[" with a US keyboard. Is there a chance to set the program to use different keyboard layouts?

I tried a little on a Japanese MSX but although in the left frame there is a Russian font, in the right frame it is a Japanese character which is displayed regardless of the selected character.

Its coz my system is russian, but you able use any font as System Font.
You may reset editable font to you BIOS FONT first, after it saving it, and copy Font.fnt to System.fnt.
You get standart 6x8 BIOS font as System Font in Editor.
Latter you able draw new, your own fonts 6x16, and place as System font also.

Font reset function, calling with Shift+R
Also use font switching feature, for selecting System Font or Editable Font.
