HPFONTS.ZIP
These HP laserjet soft fonts are based on GLYPHIX fonts. Though
the base fonts are copyrighted, any derivated fonts are NOT.
Therefore, this is a small sample of their Centrum Style font.
These are straight 10 and 12 point normal, italic and bold type
faces. Included are straight versions of 18 and 24 point fonts.
I have created my own version of font naming. The first
3characters are the type face, the next two are the point size,
the 6th character is 'R' for regular upright, 'I' for italic, 'B'
for bold and 'S' for any variation from the normal type face. The
next is for the level of bolding from B0 to B9. The extension is
either USP - portrait or USL for landscape mode. As an example:
GAR12IB0.USP is Garamet, 12 point italic, no bolding, in portrait
mode. (NB: This means that they are _7-bit_ fonts, no support for
European characters with ' ` or "! PoCo.)
The beauty of Glyphix is that you can create your own type of
fonts with almost infinite variations of style. You can vary your
fonts with four (or more type faces), orientation of portrait or
landscape, point size from 4 to 60 points, expansion of width from
25% to 400%, changing weight of the type from -5 to 9 where 0 is
normal, fill patterns of 12 options and slanted type from the left
or to the right up to several percent. Their ad states up to
200,000 variations. I believe it!
Garamond fonts (also in HPFONTS.ZIP)
This package contains three fixed width, 10 cpi versions of the
Garamond font, and a limited version of my standard soft font
download program.
This font should be compatible with any of the LaserJet series of
printers. It has been tested on a LaserJet II, using the download
program included with this package.
If you like these fonts and are interested in other style fixed
width (Roman-Times regular, bold, & italic at 8, 10, & 12 cpi)
fonts or proportionally spaced fonts contact GARY ELFRING. See also
DOSgg volume 4030 for another set.
TSR Download
Version 1.9b
A memory resident soft font manager
TSR Download is a memory resident, (Terminate-and-Stay-Resident),
soft font manager for the IBM PC. It locates your soft fonts
automatically, and translates them into English! The program will
download and/or select any HP compatible soft font. TSR Download
remembers what fonts are in your printer and how much memory they
take. The TSR Download program SHOULD be configured, (customized),
before it is used. If you want to use the program in its memory
resident mode you MUST load the program into memory before using
it. The program can be called up from within any application by
hitting a Hot-Key. TSR Download has a simple to use "point and
shoot" interface and always has a short help screen available. The
program can be removed from memory with a special key combination,
provided it is the last memory resident program loaded. (TSR
Download can also run from the command line.)
All commands in TSR Download are mnemonic. Thus, the <D> key stands
for Download, the <M> key for Memory, the <P> key for Printer
Control, etc. Basic commands include:
<F1> or <H> Help screen
<Esc> Exit Download
<Return> or
<Space> Mark font for later downloading
<D> Download all marked fonts
<I> Set the next soft font ID number
<L> Display fonts Loaded in your printer
<M> Memory requirements for downloaded & marked fonts
<O> Output to parallel, serial, or file
<P> Printer control menu
<S> Select the highlighted soft font
<C> Change the soft font subdirectory
<Alt> <U> Unload this program from memory
This shareware package contains two programs: DL.EXE, and
DLCFG.EXE. Additional utilities, FONTCAT.EXE and TYPEFACE.EXE are
available to registered users. The DL.EXE and DLCFG.EXE programs
are part of the TSR Download system.
REQUIREMENTS
TSR Download requires an IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible computer with
PC-DOS or MS-DOS operating systems 2.1 through 4.1. TSR Download
occupies 38K of RAM when loaded into memory. An HP LaserJet+,
Series II, DeskJet, or compatible printer is required, along with
a parallel or serial printer port. Printer ports LPT1:, LPT2:,
LPT3:, COM1:, and COM2: are supported.
