- PrFont : Print a sample of each font in fonts:
-

- PrFonts uses the AvailFonts system service to find all the fonts in the
- Amiga fonts: directory. It then draws one line of each on a custom hi-res
- screen and uses DumpRastPort to print the screen on the printer. It then
- clears the screen and repeats the above until all fonts have been printed.
- You may click the close gadget and PrFont will exit at the end of the next
- screen. PrFont may be run from the CLI or Workbench.
-
- CLI usage:
-
- >prfont -a -s -d#
-
- -a Draw all characters of each font rather than just one line. This
- will result in a printout from 5 to 10 times a big as the default
- one line listing.
-
- -s Display the fonts on the screen only, do not print. When using this
- option you must click the left mouse button after each screen is
- displayed to go to the next.
-
- -d# Set the print density. '#' must be a number between 1 and 7
- inclusive. This number is passed to DumpRastPort and may or may
- not have an affect on the printout depending on your printer
- driver.
-
-
- Prfont may be run from a tool icon by naming it prfont.info and double
- clicking it. Prfont accepts the following tooltypes in the icon's
- tooltypes array. You can use the workbench info menu item to enter
- any of these into the tooltypes array. Place each on a separate line.
- They must be in upper case and the '=' is required.
-
- ALL= same as -a above.
-
- SHOW= same as -s above.
-
- DENSITY=# same as -d# above.
-
-
- You may use prfonts to see other font libraries beside the default
- by reassigning the fonts: logical name to the othe library.
-
- Example:
-
- >assign fonts: df1:myotherfonts
-
- When done using prfonts on this library reassign fonts: back to the
- default:
-
-
- >assign fonts: workbench:fonts
-
-
- You may have to alter your printer preferences to get an acceptable
- printout. I have been using black and white shade, threshhold 5,
- aspect horizontal, and image negative. These appear on Graphic 1 page
- of printer preferences.
