PRINT FONT V.2
==============
This program was written to allow my sister-in-law to use her printer to
generate text in a number of styles using GDOS fonts. These were to be used
in place of letraset for her design course.
This program is effectively a Beta Test version, uploaded only to the Ad Lib
BBS for comments and suggestions. If you like it, use it. If you want something
adding - tell me!
P.S. Should currently work in ALL Resolutions.
S.H.Rigby.

Files
=====
The following files should be in this archive -
PRNTFNT2.PRG - THE PROGRAM
PRNTFNT2.RSC - THE RESOURCE FILE
PRNTFNT2.TXT - THIS TEXT FILE
PRINTERS.CFG - THE PRINTER CONFIGURATION FILE
Note:-
The printers.cfg file is partially documented and can be altered or added
to BUT it will always print to the standard printer port at the moment.
Only standard 8 bit bitstreams are currently supported (9 - pin printers).
On startup or reload of fonts, the program will look for a file called
FONTS.LST on the root directory of the chosen (or startup) drive. If it finds
this file, it will only use the fonts contained within it. If it cannot find
this file, it will search the entire chosen disk for GDOS fonts and will
create a FONTS.LST file on the root of that disk (if possible) for future
fast startup. Searching large drives can be slow - BE WARNED.
The file can be edited to make Prntfnt2 ignore fonts that you don't want.
If you add new fonts to a disk - erase FONTS.LST to make the program
re-search.
