- MIfont 1.1c
- The PPage Font Conversion/Management System
-
- Now Professional Page owners can use any of the thousands of
- PostScript® fonts available for the Mac!
- MIfont will convert any Macintosh PostScript® screen font into a
- standard Amiga screen font with a PPage .metric file.
- Since the fonts MIfont generates are standard Amiga bitmaps they
- may also be used by any other Amiga application which uses bitmap
- fonts!
-
- Mac screen fonts
-
- · Mac screen fonts come in 5 or more pointsizes, not just 2 like
- PPage's. These fonts have been designed by hand for accuracy and
- legibility meaning that at most sizes below 30 points they look
- as good or better than CG Outline fonts.
- · All members of a font family have their own bitmaps. For
- example Galliard-Italic looks on screen exactly as you see it
- here, and is not just a slanted version of Galliard-Roman, for a
- truer wysiwyg representation.
- · MIfont-converted fonts contain an average of 50 more characters
- than do PPage bitmap or CG Outline fonts. They even have 19 more
- characters than Mac users have access to!
-
- Download both Mac and IBM printer fonts automatically!
- MIfont will convert any Mac or IBM PostScript® Type 1 printer
- font into a format you can download to your PostScript® printer
- using Gold Disk's Download utility. Or click on the Download
- Fonts button in PPage's output menu and your fonts will be
- downloaded automatically!
-
- MIfont is also the perfect Font Manager!
- Essentially, all converted fonts are kept in a user-definable
- storage directory and then moved into your system's FONTS:
- directory instantly with a single click of the mouse. There is
- even a function for moving fonts required by a PPage document
- automatically simply by clicking on the document file's name! You
- can even define multiple font storage directories, perfect for
- managing DTP as well as video font libraries!
-
- Point-and-click interface.
- All of MIfont's functions are accessed through a single window on
- the Workbench via a completely Intuition-based interface. There
- are no pathnames to type and no drop-down menus to get in your
- way. There's even an iconify mode!
-
- The entire Adobe PostScript® Screen Font Library available at PD
- prices!
- Mac screen fonts are freely distributable and may be obtained
- from service bureaus and many public bulletin board systems. As
- well, Mirror Image has obtained permission from Adobe Systems
- Inc. to make their collection of Mac format PostScript® screen
- fonts (volumes 1-199) available on Amiga format disks for public
- domain prices. Contact Mirror Image for more details.
-
- MIfont is available from your local dealer or directly from
- Mirror Image (we accept VISA or MasterCard and ship next day, Air
- Mail).
- MIfont retails for $105 US and is also available for a special
- 20% discount when ordered directly from Mirror Image along with
- our PDraw font converter, MIoutline. See elsewhere in this
