Using Soft Fonts With WP 5.0
Enclosed is a new master printer definition file for Word Perfect and the
DeskJet printer, ESFLASER.ALL (Elfring Soft Fonts LaserJet). The Word Perfect
program must be correctly installed with all utility programs present. This
document assumes you are working with a hard disk! (It is probably not
possible to use soft fonts with WP 5.0 and floppy disks.)
Step 1
Create a subdirectory to put your soft fonts in. It is MUCH less confusing to
hide all soft fonts in a single subdirectory. Do not place them in the WP 5.0
subdirectory, as you will end up with a giagantic number of files there.
REMEMBER the name of this subdirectory, you will need it later.
Now copy ALL the Elfring Soft Font files you own to this new subdirectory.
Our soft fonts for the LaserJet typically end in the extension ".PCP". Some
other soft fonts may use the ".SFP" or ".R8P" file name extensions. In any
case, make sure that all soft fonts from all disks you have purchased are
copied to your new soft font subdirectory.
Step 2
Start Word Perfect and enter <Shift><F7> for the printer menu. Press <S>
for the Select Printer menu. This displays a list of printer drivers currently
installed. Now press <A> for additional printers. Use the arrow keys to
highlight the "ESF LaserJet Series II" name, then press <S> for select. Word
Perfect will now tell you the name of the new ".PRS" file it is going to create.
(If you already have a file by this name WP will ask if you want to replace it.)
Now press Exit <F7>.
Step 3
You are now at the Edit screen for select printers. Press <5> to select
"Cartridges and Fonts". Use the down arrow key to move from the first line
of the next screen (Internal Fonts) to Memory line. You will now see a list
of all soft fonts available for the LaserJet. Use the down arrow key to move
the cursor to each Elfring Soft Font you own and press the "+" key. Note
that all Elfring Soft Font definition lines include the letters (ESF). Also
mark any other soft fonts or cartridges you may own. Finally, press <F7>
twice to return to the Edit Printer screen. (WP will pause as it creates a
new ".PRS" file. Now press <6> or <I> for Initial font. Go through the
list of fonts presented here and pick a default soft font base size. When
the font is highlighted press the <S> key to Select it. Exit from here with
the <F7> key. Press <7> or <D> to specify the disk drive and directory name
for your downloadable fonts. Now press <F7> three times to exit from these
menus.
Step 4
From within your document Ctrl-F8 brings up the font menu. This menu lets you
select the font to use. Word Perfect should automatically download any fonts
you use in a document.
Note1:
All Elfring Soft Font names include the letters (ESF). (This stands for
Elfring Soft Fonts). The font name also includes the point size of the font.
Fixed width fonts have a special naming convention so that you can recognize
them. A proportional font might be called:
(ESF) Roman 12 pt. PS
(ESF) Broadway Bold 24 pt. PS
Note that the letters "PS" stand for a proportionally spaced font. When you
want to use a fixed width font you select a font name that tells you the
point size and the pitch of the font, since you can have more than one font
with the same height but with a different pitch. So a 10 pitch fixed width
Roman font 12 points in height would be named:
(ESF) Gothic 12 pt. 10 pitch
(ESF) Square 12 pt. 12 pitch
Finally, some fonts with line draw (Letter Gothic & Prestige Elite) require
a special font name. Thus the letters (LD) have been added to the font name
to indicate this font has Line Draw. In the example below the first font
has the line draw characters and the second does not have them.
(ESF) Letter Gothic 12 pt. 10 pitch (LD)
(ESF) Letter Gothic 12 pt. 10 pitch
