- FONTINFO is a command line utility used to print information for
- HP-format soft fonts to the screen. If you have used the DOS DIR command, then
- all you need to know is that FONTINFO works exactly the same way, except that
- FONTINFO finds only valid HP soft font files. The information provided in the
- listing includes the name of the file, the name of the font (if it can be
- determined), the font's typeface, orientation, pitch, point, stance, stroke
- weight and symbol set. The following shows an example listing using FONTINFO:
-
-
- Font Name Typeface Orient Pitch Point Stance Strokeweight Symbolset
- ===============================================================================
- ** SCRIPT11.SFP **
- Park Avenue 253 Port Prop 10.98 Italics Normal 0U ( 21)
- ** SCRPT119.SFP **
- x1007 0 Port Prop 11.88 Italics Bold 0U ( 21)

-
- The syntax of FONTINFO is:
-
- FONTINFO [?] [/H] [/C] [/P] [/E] [d:][path][filename.[ext]]
-
- In its simplest form, FONTINFO can be entered on the DOS command line without
- any options to list the information for all soft font files in the current
- directory of the current drive.
-
- FONTINFO <Enter>
-
-
- Options:
-
- ? Prints a HELP screen, describing the syntax (usage) of FONTINFO.
-
- /H Prints a HELP screen, describing the syntax (usage) of FONTINFO.
-
- /C Prints only the file names of the soft font files found. No other
- information is printed.
-
- /P Pauses the display when the screen is full. The following prompt is
- displayed:
-
- Press any key to continue
-
- /E Prints extended information (font selection escape sequence, file size,
- font name
-
- You should avoid using the /P option when redirecting output to a disk file or
- printer. You will not see the message(s) to "Press any key to continue" on the
- screen.
-
- Except for /H and ?, options may be combined.
-
-
- File Specifications:
-
- After any options, specify the path whose soft fonts you want to list.
- Wildcards (*,?) are supported. For more information, refer to your DOS
- manual.
