- The Sfware utilities allow you to download, rotate, compress, expand, view,
- and perform special effects on softfonts. The effects provided include bold,
- fill, convert to fixed spacing, halftone, hollow, invert, mirror, outline,
- convert to proportional spacing, resize, reverse, shade, shadow, slant,
- stripe, tilt, three-d, hollow-three-d, and filled-three-d effects. The
- effects can be tailored and customized for any font with various parameters
- and shading patterns.
-
- Sfware is distributed in five archive files: SFW11AP1, SFW11AP2, SFW11AD1,
- SFW11AD2, and SFW11AEX. The 'P' archives contain the programs and the 'D'
- archives contain documentation. The 'EX' archive contains an example of
- the special effects that Sfware can produce.
-
- Print the example page from the SFW11AEX archive file (EXAMPLES.PCL or
- EXAMPL16.PCL) on your LaserJet printer for a sample of Sfware's effects.
- You can print the examples by entering the command
-
- COPY EXAMPLES.PCL /B PRN
-
- at the DOS prompt. You must print the examples page on an HP LaserJet
- compatible printer. The example pages are essentially identical. The
- EXAMPL16.PCL page uses only 16 fonts. Some LaserJet printers (notably, the
- HP LaserJet Series II) can only print sixteen different fonts on any given
- page. If your printer has this limitation, EXAMPLES.PCL may not print
- correctly.
