PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
FONTSUM is a program to print a summary of soft fonts. The
program will load and print 15 or more different fonts dynamically
spaced on a page. Note that the LaserJet Plus and most
compatible printers are restricted to fonts of 30 points in
height. FONTSUM uses the resident 12 point courier font for
headings and font names.
PROGRAM USAGE
FONTSUM works from the DOS command line.
C> FONTSUM [@][d:][path]fn1 [fn2...fnn] [/Cnn] [/N] [/Odest]
[/Ttext] [/Dtext] [/Pnn] [/Mnn]
fn1 is a soft font file name. Wildcards are permitted.
The filename may be prefixed with a drive and path
identifier if necessary. Multiple filenames may be
specified up to the limit of the command line.
If the filename is prefixed by a @, the filename
is assumed to be a text file containing a list of
fonts to be printed. Each font name must begin in
the first position of a new line. Comments must be
preceeded by a space and may be included anywhere
on the line after the filename. The filename may
contain drive and path designators if desired.
/Cnn Copy count parameter. This may be specified to
produce multiple copies of the font summary
listings. Valid entries are 1 thru 99. The default
value is 1.
/N NoSort. By default, names specified by wild cards
will be sorted in alphanumeric sequence.
Specifying the /N option will suppress the sorting
of the file names.
/Odest Destination. This option may be used to override
the default destination by specifying a parameter
such as COM1, LPT2, etc. The default value is PRN
(LPT1). The default value may be specified in an
environment variable ORBLJ. This is set with the
DOS SET command: SET ORBLJ=LPT1
* /Ttext This will specify a title to be printed at the top
of each page. The title may be up to 80 characters
long. To include spaces in the title description,
use the underscore (_) character.
* /Dtext This parameter will insert the date at the top of
each page. The default value (/D) is the current
date. The date may be specified as a text string,
such as /DJanuary_1,_1989.
* /Pnn Page numbering. This parameter will insert page
numbers at the top of each page. You may specify a
starting page number (/P3) which will start the
page numbering with 3. The default value is 1.
/Mnn Maximum fonts per page. This will reduce the maximum
fonts printed on a page from the default established
by the default printer definition. (See Setup).
* The above options (/T, /D, and /P) are not available on
unregistered copies. When you register your copy, these
features will be activated and the advertisement graphics
will no longer print on the output pages.
FONTSUM will print one line of text for each font. The default
test string that is printed is:
ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+|
This string can be replaced by the first line of text found in
the ASCII text file FONTSUM.CFG. If you choose to use this file,
it must be present in the current directory.
SETUP
You can define your printer port and printer to FONTSUM by using
the DOS SET command to establish an environment variable. This command
may be issued from the DOS command line or from within your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file.
The syntax is as follows:
SET ORBLJ=ppp;n
where ppp is the printer port (PRN, LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, etc.) and n is
the numeric equivalent of your printer type from the following table:
printertype max-fonts max-pointsize
=========== ========= =============
0 original lj 0 0
1 lj+ 16 30
2 lj500+ 16 30
3 ljII 16 unlimited
4 ljIId unlimited unlimited
5 ljIIp unlimited unlimited
9 lj undefined 16 30 (default)
Examples:
SET ORBLJ=PRN;9 Default value
SET ORBLJ=LPT1;3 Define a LaserJet Series II on LPT1
SET ORBLJ=LPT2;4 Define a LaserJet Series IID on LPT2
SET ORBLJ=COM1;1 Define a LaserJet Plus on COM1
Note that there are no spaces on either side of the = sign.
