Shareware DeskJet Soft Font Package
This Shareware package ($25) contains everything you need to get started
with soft fonts on a DeskJet EXCEPT the RAM cartridge. The package con-
tains a number of soft fonts for the DeskJet printer, along with some use-
ful utility programs and printer drivers for: Word Perfect 5.0/5.1, Word
5.0 & 5.5, MS Works, & PC Write 3.0X.
WARNING, YOU CAN NOT USE SOFT FONTS WITH A DESKJET UNLESS YOU HAVE AT LEAST
ONE 128K RAM CARTRIDGE. RAM CARTRIDGES DO NOT COME WITH THE DESKJET. YOU
MUST BUY THEM AS AN EXTRA COST OPTION! DESKJET PLUS OWNERS SHOULD PURCHASE
A 256K RAM CARTRIDGE, WHILE DESKJET OWNERS SHOULD GET A 128K RAM CARTRIDGE.
We think this package of soft fonts and the WP printer driver is a very
reasonably priced set. No support for these fonts, driver, or utilities
is offered to non-registered users. To register fill out the enclosed
form (REGISTER.DOC) and send it along with a check for $25 to: Elfring
Soft Fonts, P.O. Box 61, Wasco, IL 60183. 708-377-3520 We will send
you a current catalog of our DeskJet soft fonts, a copy of the latest
DeskNew (DeskJet newsletter) and give you full telephone support.
This Disk Contains
Believe it or not, this disk contains 18 soft fonts for the HP DeskJet,
printer drivers and instructions for: Word Perfect 5.0 - 5.1, Word 5.0,
& PC Write 3.0X, and two soft font utility programs: DOWNLOAD for sending
soft fonts to your printer, FONTINFO for examining soft fonts, and
DISPFONT for printing sample sheets of soft fonts. Most of these files
are stored in a compressed format to save room- the soft fonts alone take
up 240K when unpacked!

USING SOFT FONTS
Before your application program can use soft fonts, it needs information
about those fonts! Specifically, no application program can use a font
unless it knows how to select the font and (for proportionally spaced
fonts) the width of each character in the font. THIS IS WHAT THE ENCLOSED
PRINTER DRIVERS ARE FOR! If you have an application program that is not
covered by a driver in this set, give us a call. We can make drivers for
WordStar 5.0 - 6.0, WordStar 2000, Q&A, plus a few other word processors.
All soft fonts have been specially altered to work with Windows 3.0. Thus
you can now use these fonts with PageMaker! Just install the fonts into
the Windows environment with the tools supplied with Windows 3.0.
