Using Soft Fonts With WP 5.0
Enclosed is a new master printer definition file for WordPerfect and the
LaserJet printer, ESFLASER.ALL (Elfring Soft Fonts LaserJet). The Word-
Perfect program must be correctly installed with all utility programs
present. This document assumes you are working with a hard disk! (It is
probably not possible to use soft fonts with WP 5.0 and floppy disks.)
Step 1
Create a subdirectory to put your soft fonts in. It is MUCH less confusing
to hide all soft fonts in a single subdirectory. Do not place them in the
WP 5.0 subdirectory, as you will end up with a gigantic number of files
there. REMEMBER the name of this subdirectory, you will need it later. The
default name is C:\FONTS
The INSTALL program will copy all the Elfring Soft Font files you own to
this new subdirectory. INSTALL will also copy the new WordPerfect printer
driver into your WordPerfect subdirectory. Our soft fonts for the LaserJet
typically end in the extension ".USP". Some other soft fonts may use the
".SFP" or ".R8P" file name extensions. In any case, make sure that all
soft fonts from all disks you have purchased are copied to your new soft
font subdirectory.
Step 2
Start WordPerfect and enter <Shift><F7> for the printer menu. Press <S>
for the Select Printer menu. This displays a list of printer drivers
currently installed. Now press <A> for additional printers. Use the arrow
keys to highlight the "ESF LaserJet Series II" name, then press <S> for
select. WordPerfect will now tell you the name of the new ".PRS" file it
is going to create. (If you already have a file by this name WP will ask
if you want to replace it.) Now press Exit <F7>.
Step 3
You are now at the Edit screen for select printers. Press <5> to select
Cartridges and Fonts. Use the down arrow key to move from the first line
of the next screen (Internal Fonts) to Memory line. You will now see a list
of all soft fonts available for the LaserJet. Use the down arrow key to
move the cursor to each Elfring Soft Font you own and press the "+" key.
Note that all Elfring Soft Font definition lines include the letters (ESF).
Also mark any other soft fonts or cartridges you may own. Finally, press
<F7> twice to return to the Edit Printer screen. (WP will pause as it
creates a new ".PRS" file. Now press <6> or <I> for Initial font. Go
through the list of fonts presented here and pick a default soft font base
size. When the font is highlighted press the <S> key to Select it. Exit
from here with the <F7> key. Press <7> or <D> to specify the disk drive and
directory name for your downloadable fonts. Now press <F7> three times to
exit from these menus.
Step 4
From within your document <Ctrl>-<F8> (Change base font) brings up the font
menu. This menu lets you select the font to use. WordPerfect should auto-
matically download any fonts you use in a document.
Note1:
All Elfring Soft Font names include the letters (ESF). (This stands for
Elfring Soft Fonts). The font name also includes the point size of the font.
Fixed width fonts have a special naming convention so that you can recognize
them. A proportional font might be called:
(ESF) Roman 12 pt. PS
(ESF) Broadway Bold 24 pt. PS
