- HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.0 INTRODUCTION
-
- ********************************************************************************
-
- Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 lets you create on-the-fly screen
- fonts and more.
-
- Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 gives most Microsoft Windows applications
- the same font scaling technology as the HP LaserJet III printer family.
- Without leaving your application, you get type that looks as good on-screen as
- it does when it comes off your printer without using valuable disk space to
- store bitmapped screen fonts.
-
- Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 gives you:
-
- - High-quality screen fonts - no more jagged edges on displays.
- - On-the-fly screen fonts and type scaling - instant screen fonts in the
- styles and sizes you want from within your Windows 3.0 applications.
- - Matching screen fonts for HP LaserJet III/IIID printer's resident scalable
- typefaces - What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get printing.
-
- Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 includes eight scalable screen typefaces in
- popular CG Times and Univers, and it opens the door to installing a variety of
- other type products from the HP MasterType Library. You can purchase and
- install into Windows 3.0 any of HP's MasterType Library products which
- includes scalable typeface collections on cartridge or disk and more than
- twenty individual scalable typefaces.
-
- Please feel free to copy the Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 disks subject to the
- above restrictions.

- AutoFont are placed in the \td\type directory of the destination drive.
-
- If you specify a directory, (i.e. \td\type) where typefaces have already
- been installed, as the directory for placing your Intellifont support
- files, the Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 installation
- program will recognize the typefaces and will install them for use as
- scalable screen fonts.
-
-
- An instruction guide called IFWGUIDE.WRI in Microsoft Write format will be
- placed in your Windows 3.0 directory for viewing and printing.
-
- When running Windows 3.0, look for the Intellifont Icon in the Accessories
- Group to verify installation. If you have additional fonts to install, double
- click on the Intellifont icon and click on the Fonts button to open the HP Font
- Installer window.
-
- In the Hewlett-Packard Font Installer notice the typefaces listed in the left
- hand box. If the typeface has a small dot in front of it, it has been installed
- for scalable screen fonts.

- FEATURES OF HEWLETT-PACKARD INTELLIFONT-FOR-WINDOWS 3.0
-
- *******************************************************************************
-
- * Intellifont Integration
- * Scalable Screen Font Files
- * New Hewlett-Packard Font Installer including AutoFont Support
-
- Intellifont Integration - Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 includes
- the Intellifont font scaling technology resident in the Hewlett-Packard
- LaserJet III printer family. Intellifont scales screen fonts to all point sizes
- supported by Windows 3.0. Screen fonts are created "on-the-fly" -- which means
- enhanced performance and no need to use valuable disk space for bitmapped screen
- fonts.
-
- Scalable Screen Font Files - CG Times and Univers screen fonts are
- included to match the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III and IIID printers' internal
- scalable typefaces.
-
- New Hewlett-Packard Font Installer - Scalable typefaces and bitmapped fonts
- can now be installed for use in both Windows 3.0 and your Hewlett-Packard
- LaserJet III or IIID printer. The Hewlett-Packard font installer installs
- typefaces and fonts from the following file types:
-
- .FF AGFA Compugraphic FAIS file format. These files are usually on
- diskette and are shipped with all Hewlett-Packard scalable font
- products. The .FF file provides support for scalable printer fonts
- and scalable screen fonts.
-
- .TYP AGFA Compugraphic library file format. These files are placed in the
- \TD\TYPE directory when you install a typeface through Type Director,
- when you install a scalable soft font through HP's AutoFont, and when
- you install a scalable cartridge with screen fonts through HP's
- AutoFont. The .TYP file provides support for scalable printer fonts
- and scalable screen fonts.
-
- .PCM Printer Cartridge Metrics file. This file is created by the cartridge
- vendor. PCM files are used for scalable and bitmapped cartridges that
- are not supported by the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III printer driver.
- The PCM file only provides support for printer fonts. For scalable
- cartridges the scalable screen fonts must be installed from a .FF
- file or a .TYP file.
-
- GLUE.TXT This file contains information for all products you install
- with AutoFont Support. Soft fonts and cartridges, bitmapped or
- scalable can be installed from the "glue.txt" file.
-
- When prompted by the HP Font Installer for the drive\directory from
- where you want to add fonts, input the drive\directory where your
- "glue.txt" file is located (default directory for HP's AutoFont
- program and for Type Director is C:\AUTOFONT). The HP Font Installer
- reads the "glue.txt" file and displays a list of the typefaces that
- have been installed with AutoFont support. When you add typeface(s),
- the HP Font Installer creates a .PFM file for soft fonts and a .PCM
- file for cartridge fonts from the AutoFont .TFM files. The HP Font
- Installer installs the .PFM and .PCM files into Windows 3.0 for
- access by the printer driver.
-
- The GLUE.TXT file only provides support for printer fonts. For
- scalable soft fonts and cartridges the scalable screen fonts must
- be installed from a .FF file or a .TYP file.
-
- .sfp Bitmapped soft font in portrait orientation. Intellifont screen fonts
- are only available for bitmapped fonts that were created from an AGFA
- Compugraphic library file (.TYP). Windows 3.0 will attempt to display
- a rough representation of other bitmapped fonts.
-
- .sfl Bitmapped soft font in landscape orientation. Intellifont screen
- fonts are only available for bitmapped fonts that were created from
- an AGFA Compugraphic library file (.TYP). Windows 3.0 will attempt
- to display a rough representation of other bitmapped fonts.
-
- AutoFont Support - AutoFont support incorporated into the Hewlett-Packard font
- installer allows the installation of scalable typeface cartridges, scalable
- soft fonts, bitmapped font AutoFont and bitmapped soft fonts into Windows 3.0
- without first acquiring a Windows 3.0 metric file. AutoFont support works by
- creating the Windows 3.0 metrics files from the .TFM files installed through
- AutoFont.

-
- HPPCL5A PRINTER DRIVER ENHANCEMENTS
-
- ********************************************************************************
-
- Hewlett-Packard Intellifont-for-Windows 3.0 version 1.0 includes version 3.7 of
- the HPPCL5A printer driver for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet III and IIID printers.
-
- Enhancements include:
-
- * Print Model Improvement
- * New and Improved Gray Scale Printing
- * Font Downloading Optimizations
-
- Print Model Improvement - The print model feature has been improved to include
- printing patterned or shaded text and graphic images on all images
- instead of only on black rectangles. If your application takes advantage of
- the print model feature, you can print patterned or shaded text or graphic
- images on any other patterned or shaded text or graphic image.
-
- New and Improved Gray Scale Printing - The gray scale option has been expanded
- to include optimal printing of scanned images. There are three choices in the
- Gray Scale dialog box in the Printer Setup screen for printing gray scale
- graphics: Photographic Images, Line Art Images, and HP ScanJet Images.
-
- Photographic Images replaces the Gray Scale Graphics On selection
- supported in Version 3.61 of the HPPCL5A driver. This method uses
- an 8 bit by 8 bit super pixel to emulate 60 levels of gray. This
- is up from 32 levels of gray supported in the previous version of
- the driver. For improved photographic appearance, select
- Photographic Images. Your images will have smooth, soft looking
- contrasts between shades of gray. Images originally designed with
- color will print better also.
-
- Line Art Images replaces the Gray Scale Graphics Off selection
- supported in Version 3.61 of the HPPCL5A driver. This method uses
- patterns to emulate 32 levels of gray. It has been improved from
- the previous version of the driver by supporting 32 new hand-tuned
- patterned images. The benefits of this method is that is has fewer
- artifacts and a better balance of gray tones than the old method,
- yet all of the detail is preserved. Use this method for images
- that have a "line draw" look such as clip art.
-
- HP ScanJet Images is a new option for printing gray scale
- graphics. This method uses a variation of the 8 bit by 8 bit
- super pixel used in the Photographic Images method. The HP
- ScanJet Images option is specially tuned for scanned images
- from an HP ScanJet to give exceptional quality and clarity to
- the printed images.
-
- You may want to print your graphic images from more than one of
- the Gray Scale printing methods. Only you can decide which method
- creates the best output for your picture.
-
- Font Downloading Optimizations - The HPPCL5A printer driver now downloads
- individual characters of a symbol set to the printer as they are referenced,
- rather than sending the entire symbol set at one time.
