USING ESF FONTS WITH VENTURA
All LaserJet fonts on this disk are compatible with Ventura Publisher. To
use these fonts in Ventura they must first be converted into Ventura format.
To convert these fonts you need your Ventura Disk #11.
Step 1) Build new VFM files. (Ventura Font Metric width tables) Find the
Ventura program HPLTOVFM.EXE. Run this program for each soft font found in
this set.
HPLTOVFM SM180PRN.USP /F=SYMBOLS /N=37 /P=18 /W=N
Where /F= is the typeface name which MUST start with a capitol letter
/N= is the typeface number (look these up in you Ventura manual)
/P= is the point size of the font
/W= weight of the font, N=normal, I=italic, B=bold, T=bold italic
Step 2) Make an ASCII text file that lists the name of each VFM file created
in step 1. (Must end in ".LST".) One file name per line. The file names must
be listed in point size order smallest to largest, with styles listed in:
normal, italic, bold, bold italic order.
Step 3) Use the Ventura VFMTOWID.EXE program and the LST file from step 2
plus the VFM files to create a width table.
VFMTOWID ESFSHARE.LST /N=CORDATA
Where ESFSHARE.LST is the list file created in step 2,
/N= the device switch for your printer (look up Operations - Set Printer
Info menu in Ventura. The portion before the comma is all that
matters.
Step 4) Convert the HP format fonts to Ventura B30 format using the Ventura
utility HPLTOFNT.
HPLTOFNT TR120RPN.USP /F=Roman /N=5 /P=12 /W=N
Step 5) Merge the width tables and clean up. Run Ventura and select Options -
Add Remove Fonts - Merge Width Table. Then go back and delete the ".USP" fonts
since they are not used by Ventura.
