FONTINFO (Version 1.7)
(C) Copyright 1989, 1990 by TaxWare, PO Box 2014, Provo, UT 84603
All rights reserved.
FONTINFO is a command line utility used to print information for
HP-format soft fonts to the screen. If you have used the DOS DIR command, then
all you need to know is that FONTINFO works exactly the same way, except that
FONTINFO finds only valid HP soft font files. The information provided in the
listing includes the name of the file, the name of the font (if it can be
determined), the font's typeface, orientation, pitch, point, stance, stroke
weight and symbol set. The following shows an example listing using FONTINFO:
Font Name Typeface Orient Pitch Point Stance Strokeweight Symbolset
===============================================================================
** SCRIPT11.SFP **
Park Avenue 253 Port Prop 10.98 Italics Normal 0U ( 21)
** SCRPT119.SFP **
x1007 0 Port Prop 11.88 Italics Bold 0U ( 21)
The syntax of FONTINFO is:
FONTINFO [/H] [/C] [/P] [/E] [d:][path][filename.[ext]]
In its simplest form, FONTINFO can be entered on the DOS command line without
any options to list the information for all soft font files in the current
directory of the current drive.
FONTINFO <Enter>
Options:
/H Prints a HELP screen, describing the syntax (usage) of FONTINFO.
/C Prints only the file names of the soft font files found. No other
information is printed.
/P Pauses the display when the screen is full. The following prompt is
displayed:
Press any key to continue
/E Prints extended information (font selection escape sequence, file size,
font name
You should avoid using the /P option when redirecting output to a disk file or
printer. You will not see the message(s) to "Press any key to continue" on the
screen.
Except for /H, options may be combined.
File Specifications:
After any options, specify the path whose soft fonts you want to list.
Wildcards (*,?) are supported. For more information, refer to your DOS
manual.
Examples:
The following example lists the information for all the soft font
files on the default drive.
