Subject: Tips on the new JWP vertical printing font

Konnichi wa:
As many of you may already know, there is a new file on
ftp.monash.edu.au called jwpvfont.zip, which will convert your JWP fonts
to allow vertical printing.
Having done the conversion, and ending up with fantastic results after
some twiddling, I'd like to offer the following tips:
- Only convert the font(s) you use for printing. Then rename the
resulting .F0 files back to knnxnnV.f00 (where the nn's are the original
size, eg. 48). Therefore I now have k48x48.f00 for normal horizontal
printing, and k48x48v.f00 for vertical printing.
- Add this new font information to your jwp.ini file as detailed in the
jwpfont.doc file included with the utility. Remember to change the
printing font # to use the new vertical font.
- In JWP, your kanji font list will look confusing. There will be *two*
48 x 48 (or whatever size you converted) fonts, both of which appear in
the menu identically, but they are both different fonts (horz. & vert.).
- Set up your printer to produce landscape text. Also, you may need to
experience with your margins to allow perfect printing of vertical text
on 8.5"x11" paper.
- Try to print a test document, to see how things look. Please note
that printing worked *perfectly* on my Okidata OL400e laser printing,
but on a friends Canon BJ200 bubble printer, we couldn't landscape
(although we could still vertically print).
- Now, finally, the twiddling part. You need to go in and edit the new
font with JWPFONT. In my example, JWPFONT K48X48V.F00 /E would allow me
to edit my 48x48 vertical font. Some of the characters, although they
rotated with the rest of them, still look out of place when used
vertically. We need to move them around.
- All the fonts are in JIS standard order. Most Japanese wordprocessors
come with a manual detailing the order of characters. You need to edit
the Japanese period (small circle), comma (goes from top left to bottom
right), colon, hyphen, all 10 small hiraganas, and 10 katakanas out of
12 (do *not* edit the small katakana "ka" or "ke" - they are fine as
is).
- For the period and comma, hiraganas, and katakanas, use the <W> and
<A> keys to shift the characters to the top left of the screen. Leave
about a 2 dot (left) and 4 dot (top) margin.
- For the colon, move it to the very left of the screen, and then add a
3rd dot on the very right. Now it will look like the vertical form of
"...".
- For the hyphen, you need to rotate the font with <ALT><R>. This is
used in foreign words, like "bi-ru", "pa-tei", etc.
Now the characters will look more "natural" when printed with other
characters in a vertical format.
For those people who do not wish to engage in these edits, please drop
me a line @ 3srf@qlink.queensu.ca. I will send a copy of my final font
in .ZIP format.
Jim Breen, if you're out there, would you consider adding this to the
JWP package?
