- -- PRESS RELEASE --- December 4, 1992
-
- TYPESMITH - The Professional Amiga Outline Font Editor
-
- (Toronto) Until now, all professional outline fonts for the Amiga were
- created on other brands of computers. TypeSmith will change this.
- Soft-Logik is pleased to give you this preview of TypeSmith, the first
- professional Amiga outline font editor.
-
- TypeSmith can create and edit PostScript, Compugraphic and Soft-Logik
- outline fonts. These three formats are the primary font systems used on
- Amiga computers.
-
- TypeSmith has powerful drawing tools to allow you to create new fonts. You
- can also import characters and symbols from structured drawing programs
- such as Art Expression. With these powerful features, you can create custom
- fonts and include your logo in your favorite fonts.
-
- You can also use TypeSmith to convert fonts between formats. TypeSmith
- allows you to open PostScript Type 1, Compugraphic Intellifont and
- Soft-Logik DMF Outline fonts. You can then save the fonts in any of these
- formats, or export the font in PostScript Type 3 format.
-
- Bitmap pictures and Amiga bitmap fonts may be loaded as templates so that
- you can trace over them. This is an easy way to create the fonts you need.
- You can also import a bitmap picture published from any other HotLinks
- compatible application.
-
- TypeSmith has many other features professionals and hobbyists will both
- find useful. Its AutoMetric feature will automatically create character
- widths, and you can import kerning pairs from one font into another. You
- can make proportional fonts into monospaced fonts, or just make the numbers
- monospaced so that they align in columns.
-
- If you are already familiar with Soft-Logik's PageStream and Art
- Expression, TypeSmith will make you will feel right at home. TypeSmith uses
- a Workbench 2 and 3 style interface so that you can use it right away. And
- not only is TypeSmith HotLinks compatible, but it also supports ARexx.
-
- Not only can TypeSmith create fonts for use with Art Expression and
- PageStream, it can create fonts for use with Professional Page,
- Professional Draw and Workbench 2 and 3! Now you can use your favorite
- fonts with all your programs.
-
- TypeSmith brings professional font editing capabilities to the Amiga.
- TypeSmith will be available in January 1993 at a suggested retail price of
- $199.95 US.
