These fonts are compatible with Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows,
allowing them to be seen on screen, and printed to any printer that has
a Windows driver. (In certain cases they may also be used by Ventura
operating under the GEM environment; and CorelDraw v1.2 and 2.0).
In order to make this as clear as possible. We stongly suggest printing
this document for reference. This may be done without any standard
ASCII editor of DOS's PRINT command.
File Naming Convention:
VGA = Screen font for Ventura
FON = Screen font for Windows
PFB = Type 1 (Binary) Printer Font
AFM = Adobe Font Metrics (used by CorelDraw's WFNBOSS to convert Type1
to WFN)
PFM = Font metrics for Windows
VFM = Font metrics for Ventura
WID = Width table for Ventura
LST = List file to create Width table using VFMTOWID.EXE (this utility is
found in Utilities disk of Ventura)
***************************************************
INSTALLING FONTS FOR WINDOWS
***************************************************
NOTE: PRINTER FONTS FILES ARE THE SAME FOR BOTH VENTURA AND WINDOWS
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ADOBE TYPE MANAGER DO THE FOLLOWING:
1: Insert diskette in drive A: or B:
2: Copy PRINTER FONTS files to the PSFONTS directory
COPY A:*.PFB C:\PSFONTS
3: Copy FONT METRICS files to your PSFONTS directory
COPY A:*.PFM C:\PSFONTS
4: Use your an ASCII text editor or Notepad and edit the WIN.INI file.
5: Open your WIN.INI file
6: Go to the heading [PostScript,XXX] where XXX is your printer port.
(LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, or FILE)
If these are the first softfonts you are installing go to #7.
If you already have softfonts installed proceed to #9.
7: Add the following lines:
softfonts=1
softfont1=C:\PSFONTS\[filename].PFM,C:\PSFONTS\[filename].PFB
8: Save the WIN.INI file once you have entered these lines.
9: If you already have softfonts installed you should enter
the lines in #7, but number the softfonts accordingly.
For example: If you have 4 fonts installed, the new font
would become softfont5. Now softfonts=5 at the top of the list.
10: You should enter the above lines for every PostScript port
listing in your WIN.INI so if you change printer ports
your fonts are always available.
The printer fonts are installed and ready to be used.
11: Exit Windows and restart it so the new font information
becomes effective.
12: Install screen fonts. From Windows run Control Panel.
13: Click on the FONTS icon.
14: Choose ADD... and choose either A: or B: depending on the drive you
are using.
15: Windows will read the disk information and show you the files
available.
16: Click on the file with the extension .FON and choose OK. The screen
fonts will be added and will show in the display box.
You may choose NOT to install the screen fonts to save disk space.
The printer fonts work regardless of the screen fonts being
installed or not.
******************************************************
INSTALLING FONTS WITH ADOBE TYPE MANAGER
******************************************************
1: Start ATM Control and click on ADD...
2: Click on the drive and/or directory where your font is located.
3: Click on the font name and click on ADD...
The font is installed automatically in your WIN.INI in all the ports
you have listed, and the font numbers are updated.
4: Open the WIN.INI using a text editor such as notepad.
5: Go to the line that mentions the font you just installed and add a
comma (,) and c:\psfonts\{filename].pfb to indicate where to find
the printer font.
Example:
softfontX=c:\psfonts\revue_.pfm,c:\psfonts\revue_.pfb
ATM adds fonts to the WIN.INI as if they were pre-downloaded to the
printer. If you would like to download the font prior to printing,
don't add the line above.
******************************************************
INSTALLING FONTS FOR VENTURA (GEM)
******************************************************
*** NOTE: Font AFTBLK* Found on Disk 1 of Set. ***
1: Insert diskette in drive A: or B:
2: Copy PRINTER FONTS files to the PSFONTS directory
COPY A:*.PFB C:\PSFONTS
3: Copy WIDTH TABLES files to your VENTURA directory
COPY A:*.WID C:\VENTURA
4: Copy SCREEN FONTS to your VENTURA directory
COPY A:*.VGA C:\VENTURA
NOTE: if you are using screen fonts with a different file extension,
such as PSF you may copy the files and rename them after or you may
copy and rename at the same time.
Example:
COPY A:*.VGA C:\VENTURA\*.PSF
5: Run Ventura and click on the Options menu
6: Choose ADD/REMOVE FONTS...
7: Choose MERGE WIDTH TABLES. A dialog box with a list of the WID
files available will pop-up
8: Choose AFUTBLK_.WID and click OK. Ventura will take a few seconds
to merge the Width Tables.
9: Once you have finished click on SAVE AS NEW WIDTH TABLE. You may
choose a new name or overwrite the existing width table.
Your fonts are now installed and available. You don't have to exit
Ventura to use them.
************************************************
INSTALLING FONTS FOR CORELDRAW! 1.21 & 2.0
************************************************
You should copy the AFM file to your PSFONTS directory to improve the
speed. You may install from the floppy disk but it is not advisable
because WFNBOSS keeps that information and the next time you convert a
Type1 font it will look in you floppy drive, giving an error if it is
empty.
1: Start Windows and Run WFNBOSS which should be located in your
CorelDraw! directory.
2: Click on the Conversion Type box until Adobe Type 1 shows.
3: The Source Directory should be the one where both PFB and AFM files
are located (PSFONTS). CorelDraw! does not use PFM's in the
conversion. If you want to change the Source Directory click on
NEW DIR and choose the right one.
4: The Destination Directory should be the one where CorelDraw! fonts
are. This option is gray and may not be changed from within WFNBOSS.
You may change by editing the file WFNBOSS.INI
5: Once you have chosen the right directory, the available files are
displayed in the box named Available Fonts.
6: Click on the one you want to convert, AFUTBLK_.
7: The CorelDraw Name may be changed if you wish. There is no reason to
do so.
8: The File Name defaults to the PFB file name with the extension WFN.
You may change this name if there is a conflict with other files.
9: Click on CONVERT. Another dialog box appears showing the Postscript
font name. Just click OK. The conversion will start. You can see the
progress at the bottom, in the status box.
10: If you are using CORELDRAW! version 1.21 you have to exit Windows
and restart it so the information becomes effective. This is
because the INI information is contained in the WIN.INI.
If you have version 2.0, you don't have to exit Windows. Version
2.0 uses its own independent CORELDRW.INI. If you had CorelDraw!
running when the conversion was done, just exit CorelDraw! and
restart it.
Now the font is available and you'll find it at the bottom of the
font list. If you alphabetize your fonts, use Notepad to edit
CORELDRW.INI and move the font line to the proper location, around
the "F's".
