- This program, written and compiled in MicroSoft QuickBasic
- 3.0, is designed to (hopefully) alleviate some of the tedium
- of downloading fonts to the LaserJet+, 500+, II, and
- compatible laser printers. It reads font filenames from an
- ASCII text file and downloads those fonts to your printer.
- The text file contains just the font filenames, with an
- optional path if the fonts are not in the default directory.
- It assigns font ID numbers sequentially starting with the
- number 1, and makes each font permanent. The file
- EXAMPLE.LST shows a setup that I use on my HP LaserJet II,
- with the AD soft font set.
-
- The program uses the BASIC Shell command to execute a DOS
- copy. Make sure that COMMAND.COM is available to execute the
- copy command. Also, this program has been LINKed, so no
- run-time library is necessary.
-
- Syntax for the command is:
-
- FONTS [d:][\path...\]filename.ext
-
- where filename.ext is the name of the text file that
- contains your font list.
-
- I hope this program makes someone's life a little easier.
- Feel free to modify it; I've included the BASIC listing with
- comments.
