@FIRSTPAR = If you've attempted to install new fonts in Ventura Publisher
or PageMaker PC you have doubtless soon encounted some difficulties
- amongst there are:
<B>Installation <D><197> Ventura is particularly ornery whcn it comes
to installing new fonts and creating a .wid table can be taxing on
the nerves.
<B>Screen Font<D>s <197> once your installation has been accomplished,
very often the WYSIWYG concept breaks down entirely! Many fonts today
are not provided with matching screen fonts which are compatible with
VP or PM. Therefore, you are often forced into estimating what your
final output will look like since VP will substitute another screen
font, and PM will often present you with a mess of garbage when Windows
cannot find an adequate screen font.
<B>Kerning<D> <197> In order to Kern letters the fonts you use must
be provided with kerning pairs. These function to assist both your
printer and the screen display when you choose to automatically or
manually kern letters to your satisfaction.
<B>Screen Resolution<D>s <197> even if you have the good fortune to
be provided with adequate screen fonts, if they do not support the
graphis screen you are using you will still get an unfaithful representation.
<B>Support for Special Characters<D> <197> if you need special characters
in your font but have no way to install them, you're up the creek.
@DECKHEAD = AND THIS IS WYSIWYG?
Well, DTP never promised to solve all of mankind's publishing problems,
but there IS a better way.
SoftCraft, Inc. of Madison, Wis is now providing the VP/PM user with
an easy-to-use and highly flexible font installation package - WYSIFonts. The
package is designed to assist the Ventura Publisher/PageMaker PC or
MicroSoft Windows user with a simply method for installing new fonts.
In order to take full advantage of the touted WYSIWYG we need a wide
varitey of available font styles and sizes both for printing and screen
display - there are of course several sources of printer fonts but
few provide matching screen fonts as well.
SoftCraft has designed WYSIFonts to solve this problem by installing
all HP and SoftCraft fonts for BOTH the printer and screen. WYSIFonts
also completely automates the often cumbersom font installation procedure
and will provide automatic kerning if desired.
