HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.0 INTRODUCTION
******************************************************************************
Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 lets you create on-the-fly screen
fonts and more. Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 disks subject to the above
restrictions.
******************************************************************************
OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
******************************************************************************
Printer: HP LaserJet III printer family
Computer: IBM PC/AT compatible (286 and above) with high-density
floppy drive

******************************************************************************
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
******************************************************************************
To install Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0:
1. Make sure Windows 3.0 is installed and runs in Standard or Enhanced mode.
Check which mode Windows 3.0 is running by choosing Help from the Program
Manager Window and then choose About.
2. Select the HP LaserJet III, IIID, IIISi or IIIP printer driver through the
Windows 3.0 Control Panel.
3. Exit Windows 3.0 completely and return to a DOS prompt (do not use the DOS
icon).
4. Insert Disk 1 of Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 Version 1.1
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 3.0 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 3.0 directory for viewing and printing.
When running Windows 3.0, look for the Intellifont Icon in the Accessories
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 3.0 - New Hewlett-Packard Font Installer with AutoFont
Support" for instructions.

FEATURES OF HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.0
******************************************************************************
* 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 3.0,
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 3.0
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 3.0. 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.
* New Hewlett-Packard Font Installer - Scalable typefaces and bitmapped fonts
can now be installed for use in both Windows 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 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 3.0 without first acquiring a Windows
3.0 metric file. AutoFont support works by creating the Windows 3.0
metrics files from the .TFM files installed through AutoFont.
******************************************************************************
HPPCL5A PRINTER DRIVER ENHANCEMENTS
******************************************************************************
Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 version 1.1 includes version
30.3.86 of the HPPCL5A printer driver for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III
printer family.
Update:
* Roman 8 Character Mapping - Version 30.3.86 of the PCL5 printer driver maps
Roman 8 bitmap fonts to Windows ANSII. This allows the screen and printer
output to correspond correctly when using extended characters. This only
applies if the font was not installed using AutoFont.
******************************************************************************
HPPCL5A PRINTER DRIVER SUPPORT CHANGES
******************************************************************************
The WordPerfect Bitmap Cartridge support has been removed from the 30.3.86
driver. The WordPerfect Cartridge can be added to the font installer by using
either the AutoFont support disk packaged with the cartridge or by obtaining
AutoFont support from the Personal Peripherals Assistance Line.
******************************************************************************
USER HINTS
******************************************************************************
When you install Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 an Information
Guide in Microsoft Write format called "ifwguide.wri" is installed in your
Windows 3.0 directory. Refer to this guide whenever problems or questions
arise concerning Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0. The Information
