Printer's Apprentice Version History
------------------------------------
New in Printer's Apprentice 6.1a (Mostly fixes for Windows95)
-------------------------------
o Font file names are displayed correctly on the main window
when running Windows95.
o Uninstall Fonts now works with Windows95.
o Main window displays icons using the
new 95 Control Panel and Recycle Bin Icons.
o Options now displays with correct light gray color.
o Updated help file.
o BUG FIX: "Print from CD" Font Catalog - If an Italic font
followed a Bold Italic font in the listing, the Italic font
was still printed with the bold attribute on. Thanks to
Anthony J. Weimeler of Chicago, IL for pointing this out to me.
o BUG FIX: "Print from CD" Font Catalog - If you closed this window
using the control box in the corner, any FOT files created in your
PA directory were not being deleted. Thanks to Claude D. Birkhead
for this report.
o The default behavior of the toolbox has been changed a bit. It used
to open up if you selected a setting in the Options dialog. Now the
toolbox has "persistant" behavior. If you shut down PA with the
toolbox displayed, it will display the next time you run the
software.
New in PA 6.0g 5/6/96
----------------------
o Fixed the 'no resume' error... (what a nightmare...)
o Changed the About box
o Added more error checking code
o Updated .vbx support files, direct from vendor BBS
New in PA 6.0f 4/20/95
----------------------
o Added improved routines to stop "Invalid property
value" errors when using the keyboard, character set
or paragraph windows.
o Added new Characters menu. This menu jumps you to specific
characters in the font.
New in PA 6.0e 4/19/95 (distributed only on America Online)
----------------------
o The Remove Font Wizard can now delete an entire family of
fonts. Before, you would have to invoke the Wizard four times
to remove Arial Regular/Bold/Italic/BoldItalic. Now you
can select which variations to remove from the Wizard dialog.
o Fixes problems with keyboard/character charts/paragraph windows
not being redisplayed correctly when the main window is maximized.
New in PA 6.0c
---------------------
o More error checking for 'illegal function call' situations
in Install/Catalog wizard (hair pulling)
New in PA 6.0a / 6.0b
---------------------
o Added improved error handling in the catalog printout from
the Font Catalog Wizard (File, Print Fonts from CD-ROM)
o Added the kilobyte size of the TTF file in the printed font
catalog
o Changed some of the instructional text on the Font Catalog Wizard.
o Added improved error checking to the section of the Font Catalog
o The windows used in Printer's Apprentice have been given a better
'memory.' They will now remember both the location and their size
on the desktop each time you start and end Printer's Apprentice.
This applies to the main, keyboard, paragraph, toolbox, and
character chart windows.
o The character and point size for the sample used in the main window
are saved from session to session.
New in PA 6.0
