HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.1 INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 lets you create on-the-fly
screen fonts and more. Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 gives
most Microsoft Windows applications the same font scaling technology as the
HP LaserJet III printer family. Without leaving your application, you get
type that looks as good on-screen as it does when it comes off your printer
without using valuable disk space to store bitmapped screen fonts.
Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 gives you:
* High-quality screen fonts - no more jagged edges on displays.
* On-the-fly screen fonts and type scaling - instant screen fonts in the
styles and sizes you want from within your Windows 3.1 applications.
* Matching screen fonts for HP LaserJet III/IIID/IIIP printer's resident
scalable typefaces - What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get printing.
Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 includes eight scalable screen
typefaces in popular CG Times and Univers, and it opens the door to
installing a variety of other type products from the HP MasterType Library.
You can purchase and install into Windows 3.1 any of HP's MasterType
Library products which includes scalable typeface collections on cartridge
or disk and more than twenty individual scalable typefaces. Please feel
free to copy the Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 disks subject
to the above restrictions.
******************************************************************************

******************************************************************************
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
******************************************************************************
To install Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1:
1. Make sure Windows 3.1 is installed and running properly.
2. Install and select an HP LaserJet III, IIID, IIISi or IIIP printer
driver through the Windows 3.1 Control Panel.
3. Exit Windows 3.1 completely and return to a DOS prompt (do not use the
DOS icon).
4. Insert Disk 1 of Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 Version
1.2 in your floppy drive.
5. From the DOS prompt of your floppy disk drive, type "IFWSETUP" and
press [ENTER].
Example: A: [ENTER]
IFWSETUP [ENTER]
6. Follow the instructions that appear on the screens to complete
installation.
Hint: For selecting the directory for your Typeface Files and
Intellifont Summary Files:
* Input the directory where you have previously installed
scalable typefaces. The installation program recognizes
scalable typefaces.
* Scalable typefaces could have been installed through Type
Director or AutoFont. Typefaces installed through Type
Director, scalable soft fonts installed through AutoFont,
and screen fonts installed through AutoFont are placed in
the \td\type directory of the destination drive.
* If you specify a directory, (i.e. \td\type) where typefaces
have already been installed, as the directory for placing
your Intellifont support files, the Hewlett-Packard
Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1 installation program will
recognize the typefaces and will install them for use as
scalable screen fonts.
An instruction guide called IFWGUIDE.WRI in Microsoft Write format will be
placed in your Windows 3.1 directory for viewing and printing.
When running Windows 3.1, look for the Intellifont Icon in the Intellifont
Group to verify installation. If you have additional fonts to install,
double click on the Intellifont icon and click on the Fonts button to open
the HP Font Installer window.
In the Hewlett-Packard Font Installer notice the typefaces listed in the
left hand box. If the typeface has a small dot in front of it, it has been
installed for scalable screen fonts. To create printer fonts to match your
scalable screen fonts, see the section "FEATURES OF HEWLETT-PACKARD
INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.1 - New Hewlett-Packard Font Installer with
AutoFont Support" for instructions.

FEATURES OF HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.1
******************************************************************************
* Screen Font Cache - From the Intellifont icon the user is capable of
setting a screen font cache to speed up font generation to the screen.
The size of the cache ranges from 64 Kbytes to 256 Kbytes. Increasing
the size of the cache will increase the speed of Hewlett-Packard
Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1, but will decrease the amount of memory
available to the application. For documents with small number of fonts,
the default cache size should be adequate. For documents with larger
number of fonts (10+), the cache should be increased to provide better
display speed.
* Intellifont Integration - Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.1
includes the Intellifont font scaling technology resident in the Hewlett-
Packard LaserJet III printer family. Intellifont scales screen fonts to
all point sizes supported by Windows 3.1. Screen fonts are created "on-
the-fly" -- which means enhanced performance and no need to use valuable
disk space for bitmapped screen fonts.
* Scalable Screen Font Files - CG Times and Univers screen fonts are included
to match the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III, IIID and IIIP printers' internal
scalable typefaces.
* Hewlett-Packard Font Installer - Scalable typefaces and bitmapped fonts
can now be installed for use in both Windows 3.1 and your Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet III family printer. The Hewlett-Packard font installer installs
typefaces and fonts from the following file types:
.FF -> AGFA Compugraphic FAIS file format. These files are usually on
diskette and are shipped with all Hewlett-Packard scalable font
products. The .FF file provides support for scalable printer
fonts and scalable screen fonts.
.TYP -> AGFA Compugraphic library file format. These files are placed in
the \TD\TYPE directory when you install a typeface through Type
Director, when you install a scalable soft font through HP's
AutoFont, and when you install a scalable cartridge with screen
fonts through HP's AutoFont. The .TYP file provides support for
scalable printer fonts and scalable screen fonts.
.PCM -> Printer Cartridge Metrics file. This file is created by the
cartridge vendor. PCM files are used for scalable and bitmapped
cartridges that are not supported by the Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet III printer driver. The PCM file only provides support
for printer fonts. For scalable cartridges the scalable screen
fonts must be installed from a .FF file or a .TYP file.
GLUE.TXT -> This file contains information for all products you install
with AutoFont Support. Soft fonts and cartridges, bitmapped
or scalable can be installed from the "glue.txt" file. When
prompted by the HP Font Installer for the drive\directory
from where you want to add fonts, input the drive\directory
where your "glue.txt" file is located (default directory for
HP's AutoFont program and for Type Director is C:\AUTOFONT).
The HP Font Installer reads the "glue.txt" file and displays
a list of the typefaces that have been installed with
AutoFont support. When you add typeface(s), the HP Font
Installer creates a .PFM file for soft fonts and a .PCM file
for cartridge fonts from the AutoFont .TFM files. The HP
Font Installer installs the .PFM and .PCM files into Windows
3.1 for access by the printer driver. The GLUE.TXT file only
provides support for printer fonts. For scalable soft fonts
and cartridges the scalable screen fonts must be installed
from a .FF file or a .TYP file.
.sfp -> Bitmapped soft font in portrait orientation. Intellifont screen
fonts are only available for bitmapped fonts that were created
from an AGFA Compugraphic library file (.TYP). Windows 3.1 will
attempt to display a rough representation of other bitmapped
fonts.
.sfl -> Bitmapped soft font in landscape orientation. Intellifont
screen fonts are only available for bitmapped fonts that were
created from an AGFA Compugraphic library file (.TYP). Windows
3.1 will attempt to display a rough representation of other
bitmapped fonts.
NOTE: AutoFont Support - AutoFont support incorporated into the Hewlett-
Packard font installer allows the installation of scalable typeface
cartridges, scalable soft fonts, bitmapped cartridge fonts and
bitmapped soft fonts into Windows 3.1 without first acquiring a
Windows 3.1 metric file. AutoFont support works by creating the
Windows 3.1 metrics files from the .TFM files installed through
AutoFont.
