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
archive for more information on MIoutline.
