SUBJECT:
Font covversion program. Convert portrait soft fonts for HP LaserJet
compatible laser printers to landscape format. The program works
through Intuition or through CLI; the format through CLI is:
[path]portolan [path][portrait font file] [path][new landscape]
All C-code module source is provided except MicroSmiths getfile.o
requester.
DETAILS:
Working with WordPerfect and a laser printer, I found many requirements
for use of landscape soft fonts. On a PC where I work, SoftCraft
provided such a tool. Porting these fonts to the Amiga was a time
consuming process. Hence the need for such a program on the Amiga.
The basic program accessed through CLI was straight forward to code.
The Intuition version used MicroSmiths file requester getfile.o.
This requester program has problem with large number of filenames
(as was the case on my system hard drive). Continued testing caused
system guru's until problem was found. User BEWARE.
The code was developed with Lattice 5.04
Please contact me if there are any problems.
