TYPESMITH 2.5 AMIGA FORMAT RELEASE NOTES
========================================
INSTALLATION
------------
TypeSmith 2.5 AF can be started directly from this floppy disk or it
can be installed on your hard drive.
To install on a hard drive, simply make a directory named TypeSmith
on your hard drive and copy ALL of the files from the floppy disk to
it (including IFF.library, which doesn't have an icon).
UPGRADING
---------
Get the most from your TypeSmith cover disk!
The TypeSmith cover disk in Amiga Format gives you the world's only
Amiga font editor and converter. If you've taken it for a test
drive, you'll have realized that TypeSmith is a powerful program
with hundreds of features. If you really want to get the most from
TypeSmith, there's no substitute for the official instruction
manual. It describes how to use every feature, and is an invaluable
reference.
You'll also receive the full TypeSmith package which includes an
extensive AmigaGuide help system and additional features! ARexx
support allows you to automate TypeSmith for faster use. Even if you
don't know how to use ARexx, you'll appreciate the included Batch
Convert macro which allows you to convert an entire drawer of fonts
at once!
TypeSmith originally sold for £130, but now you can order it for
just £39.99 plus £3 P&P, including VAT! And through a special
arrangement with Digita International, now you can order locally
without having to pay high overseas shipping fees!

HOW TO CONVERT FINAL WRITER'S NIMBUS Q FONTS TO ANOTHER FORMAT
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. Use SWdownload (a utility Softwood includes with some of their
software) to convert the NimbusQ font to PFA format. Sorry, we
cannot supply you with this utility. Contact Softwood for
availability.
2. Edit the PFA file in a text editor. You've got to remove the
`prolog' (existserver stuff to make the download font permanent)
before loading the font into TS:
i.e. remove:
%!PS-Adobe-2.0 ExitServer
%%BeginExitServer 0
serverdict begin
0 exitserver
%%EndExitServer
The font must begin with the following line:
%!FontType1-1[...]
3. Load the PFA file into TypeSmith using the Project / Import PFB
PostScript Type 1 outline command. (PFA files are ASCII versions of
binary PFB files.)
4. Save or export the font in another format.
