$?
converts an HP LaserJet font into a hollow (outline) or 3D (shaded) font.
FT10
Orbit Enterprises
$?
is a font for the HP LaserJet Plus designed to allow printing screens that use
ASCII line graphics. When we tested this on an Epson GQ-3500 with an HP
emulation card, it drew the line graphics fine, but it dropped uppercase text
down a line (!). NOTE: the files GRAPH.TXT, FNT.TXT and BOXCHR.TXT are sample
files for testing this font, but you may want to print them out to use as a
reference if you ever use ASCII graphics yourself.
HelvFont (HELVFON)
Elfring, Gary
$?
contains both portrait and landscape versions of a "Helvetica" like
proportionally spaced soft font. The package includes regular, bold, and
italic versions of each font with 10 point heights. These fonts should be
compatible with any of the LaserJet series of printers. They have been tested
on a LaserJet II, using the download program included with this package.
HP
displays soft fonts on the screen. CGA or EGA required.
HPHebrew (HPHEBRE)
Hexagon Products

soft fonts in any combination of the following: portrait or landscape; fixed
width or proportional spaced; light, regular, or bold stroke; filled or hollow
characters; and point sizes from 3 to 72. It has all the usual downloading
options.
HPSoft
Gottlieb, Larry
$?
is a set of soft fonts for the HP LaserJet+: TINY.SFP, VERY small type, barely
readable; LARGE.SFP, large, bold letters (somewhat crude); LARGEHLW.SFP,
large, hollow letters.
Oblique
Guber, Sol
$10
is light airy font in 24 point landscape for the HPLJ.
Olde-18
is an Old English font in 18 point print.
Reverse (REVERS1)
contains two downloadable font for the LaserJet. Both fonts feature
reverse (white on black) printing. Our test was marred by the fact that spaces
between words were still white rather than black, making print-outs look like
pasted-up ransom notes.
Script10
Elfring, Gary
$?
contains a portrait version of a 10 point Script proportionally spaced soft
font. This is an excellent font, but 10 point seems rather small for a script
font.
Script18
is a script font in 18 point print.
Teeny Font
is a 2 point soft font for the HP LaserJet. (Get out your magnifying
glass.)
ToyLand
Guber, Sol

is a very unusual soft font for the HPLJ in that the letters are the shapes of
toys. For example a = apple, b = bow and so forth. It is 18 point size in
portrait and landscape.
Venus
is a set of softfonts for the HPLJ. It includes 12-, 20-, and 29-point
sizes of a sanserif style proportionally spaced typeface.

Engraved (ENGRAVD)
Nelson, Ken

columnar oriented reports.
HandWr
Walter, Alexander
$0
is an 18 point handwriting font for HP LaserJet. Although 18 point sounds
large, it is not for a script font.

selecting fonts. The symbol map also shows each character in the font along
with the decimal code required to select that character.
DownLD

downloads soft_font_files to the LJ II either individually or stacked (as many
as 20 files on one command line). Stacking can save a significant amount of
time.
Fontid
Software Architects Inc.
$?
These programs replace the BASIC routines supplied by HP with each soft font
package. The advantage of these routines over the HP ones is that they are
command line driven, so that you may construct a batch file to download a set
of fonts automatically.
Fonts (The Font Loader)
Drumm, Jeff
$?
lets you download user-defined sets of fonts into the HPLJ. Using HP's PCLPAK
for this purpose takes more disk space because you end up with multiple copies
of each font file: the original plus those inside each download set.

II for identifying the fonts you want to download.
