Since many users were experiencing problems printing the PS documentation
supplied on the C-Set++ CD-ROM. This ZIP file contains the reformatted
versions of the postscript documentation for C-Set++. Including the PS
fonts used by these documents. This should solve any problems people have
been having printing these documents. Instructions for using the fonts are
below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BookMaster 4.0 is shipped with a new PostScript font, named BookMaster
Gothic (from here, it will be called Bookie Gothic). It replaces the
ISIL Gothic font. The prefix for the Bookie Gothic font is EDFBG.
To print a PS on a PostScript printer:
4216-20 with PPAP 1.3.1:
Use the PPCTL program to add information about Bookie Gothic
to the font table. This will allow the font to be downloaded
only when it is used. Because of its size, you may want to
download a few of the fonts when you load the print driver.
If you use the DGA driver under OS/2, you may need to change
the names to EDFBGx__.PFB before doing the conversion, making
the file names fill out all 8 characters.
4216-20 with PPAP 1.3.0 or earlier:
Add the following lines to your DEFAULTS.PRF file (You only need
to add the lines for those fonts you normally use):
(you will probably not be able to load more
than four of the fonts):
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBG.PFA
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBGB.PFA
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBGBI.PFA
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBGI.PFA
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBGM.PFA
FONT=c:\psfonts\EDFBGR.PFA
Most other PostScript printers (4019s, 4029s, etc.)
The 4019/4029 LDRIVER utility doesn't seem to work with the
Bookie Gothic font.
If you have an Adobe font, you should have PCSEND.EXE. Try
to download the PFBs to your printer with one of the
following commands:
If your printer has a hard drive
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBG.PFB -H
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGB.PFB -H
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGBI.PFB -H
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGI.PFB -H
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGM.PFB -H
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGR.PFB -H
If your printer doesn't have a hard drive
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBG.PFB -F
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGB.PFB -F
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGBI.PFB -F
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGI.PFB -F
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGM.PFB -F
PCSEND C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGR.PFB -F
If you don't have PCSEND or if PCSEND doesn't work with your
printer, add the following line to each of the PFAs you want
to download:
serverdict begin 0 exitserver
Then use the commands:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBG.PFA LPT1:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGB.PFA LPT1:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGBI.PFA LPT1:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGI.PFA LPT1:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGM.PFA LPT1:
COPY C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGR.PFA LPT1:
Printers where the above doesn't work:
Use the font WITHOUT the serverdict line, and concatenate it in
front of your print file, for example:
COPY c:\PSFONTS\EDFBG.PFA+C:\PSFONTS\EDFBGB.PFA+MYFILE.PS LPT1:

Some information about PostScript font terms:
AFM - Adobe Font Metrics file. AFMs contain the information used by
formatters and other programs to place the characters on the
page. FONTPS is the host file type used by DCF and Bookie
for AFMs.
PFA - Unencoded PostScript font. PFAs may be edited before
sending them down to the printer.
PFB - Encoded PostScript fonts. The font information in a PFB is
condensed, so a PFB will be about 1/2 the size of a PFA.
Most font downloader programs require the use of a PFB.
