- re: FrameMaker 3.0 for (DOS) Windows
-
- This is doubtless a common question, but it isn't in the FAQ, and I haven't
- seen any traffic on the topic in the last couple of months worth of
- comp.text.frame.
- ____________
-
- I am unable to find any clear explanations about how to go about buying
- additional fonts/typefaces for WinFrame.
-
- * Windows 3.1 prefers TrueType fonts.
- * FrameMaker for Windows prefers (insists on?) ATM (Adobe) fonts.
- * LaserJet-IIID add-on PCL fonts aren't necessarily either of the above.
-
- What do I look for in an add-on PCL soft font or font cartridge to ensure that:
- - The font and its metrics are accessible to Frame
- - The font is continously scalable
- - The font is viewable in a Frame document as displayed in Windows
- - The font is actually used, correctly, in printed Frame documents.
- - The font takes advantage of LaserJet-III "Resolution Enhancement"
-
- Do the answers to the above change if I use PostScript rather than PCL?
-
- Is there any advantage to using PostScript-vs-PCL in FrameMaker?
