Type-Designer
-------------
The Type-Designer is an application to create Adobe Type1-Fonts
under Windows 3.x.
The generated fonts can be used under ATM in every Windows
application, or directly with many applications and all PostScript
printers.
Actually there is only a pre-release German version available.
But the product will become available soon.
Specification
-------------
- you can read and write Type1-Fonts
- you can use lines and beziΘr-curves for the outline of characters
- you can use hints (incl. hint replacement)
- you can use a background Bitmap (DIB, b/w Bitmap, HP-Soft fonts)
to ease the design of characters
- you can use global transformations to modify a font
- you can encode a font at your needs
- you can move points and segments
- you can rotate, italicise, stretch or mirror characters
- you can use the clipboard to store parts of characters
- you can use the clipboard to get a background Bitmap
- you can control the coordinates of all character pieces directly
- you have a control panel to set options easily
Naturally all WHISIWYG!
The final version of Type-Designer will include two high-quality Type1-Fonts
(equivalent to Brush Script and Cooper Black).
Best suited for
---------------
- firm- and product-logos
- special characters for science
- multilingual characters (even Chinese)
- copying of existing Bitmap fonts
- new fonts
Restrictions of demo version
----------------------------
The only restriction of the demo version is, that you cannot
save your work!
Installation
------------
To install the Type-Designer Software you have to copy the files
TD.EXE Type-Designer main program
TD.HLP help file (yet only in German available)
BWCC.DLL Borland Windows Custom Control Library
in a separate directory. If you use Windows 3.0 please copy TD.HLP in
your Windows directory.
Please copy the demo font files

to your PostScript font directories (normally C:\PSFONTS and
C:\PSFONTS\PFM).
Install the font for use under ATM with the ATM Control Panel.
If you have a PostScript printer connected to your System, please
update your WIN.INI file!
