PrFont : Print a sample of each font in fonts:
by Joel Swank
1/15/89
PrFonts uses the AvailFonts system service to find all the fonts in the
Amiga fonts: directory. It then draws one line of each on a custom hi-res
screen and uses DumpRastPort to print the screen on the printer. It then
clears the screen and repeats the above until all fonts have been printed.
You may click the close gadget and PrFont will exit at the end of the next
screen. PrFont may be run from the CLI or Workbench.
CLI usage:
>prfont -a -s -d#
-a Draw all characters of each font rather than just one line. This
will result in a printout from 5 to 10 times a big as the default
one line listing.
-s Display the fonts on the screen only, do not print. When using this
option you must click the left mouse button after each screen is
displayed to go to the next.
-d# Set the print density. '#' must be a number between 1 and 7
inclusive. This number is passed to DumpRastPort and may or may
not have an affect on the printout depending on your printer
driver.
Prfont may be run from a tool icon by naming it prfont.info and double
clicking it. Prfont accepts the following tooltypes in the icon's
tooltypes array. You can use the workbench info menu item to enter
any of these into the tooltypes array. Place each on a separate line.
They must be in upper case and the '=' is required.
ALL= same as -a above.
SHOW= same as -s above.
DENSITY=# same as -d# above.
You may use prfonts to see other font libraries beside the default
by reassigning the fonts: logical name to the othe library.
Example:
>assign fonts: df1:myotherfonts
When done using prfonts on this library reassign fonts: back to the
default:
>assign fonts: workbench:fonts
You may have to alter your printer preferences to get an acceptable
printout. I have been using black and white shade, threshhold 5,
aspect horizontal, and image negative. These appear on Graphic 1 page
of printer preferences.
