Introducing...
MIoutline 1.0a
MIoutline is a new converter package from Mirror Image Productions
which converts Mac and IBM Type 1 fonts into Professional Draw
outline fonts.
Here are some of MIoutline's features:
· Converts any Macintosh or IBM Type 1 PostScript printer font
(commercial or public domain!) into a completely compatible
Professional Draw outline font. These fonts may then be
manipulated using any of PDraw's drawing tools. Create your own
logos and special type!
· Complete conversion of all Type 1 characters and all characters
converted are accessible from within PDraw.
· Translations are completely true to the original characters.
All straight lines are converted as straight lines, not curves
masquerading as straight lines.
· Kerning tables are derived from a click on the font's AFM file.
Or, if you have used MIfont (Mirror Image's PostScript screen
font converter) to convert the font's bitmaps, the kerning
information is retrieved automatically from its .metric file.
· Having trouble finding the emdash or remembering where the
"scissors" symbol is in Zaph Dingbats? MIoutline's Visual Index
feature will create a handy chart (directly to your laser printer
or to disk) showing a font's complete character set, their
PostScript names and the key combinations used to call them from
within PDraw. You'll find the Visual Index feature invaluable
for keeping track of special symbol font characters, looking up
hard-to-remember key combinations or you can use it to create
your own type spec catalog!
· You don't have access to a PostScript printer? Not to worry.
Also included is a PDrawSampler utility which instantly displays
any PDraw font's outline characters and the key combinations to
call them, on screen!
· Extremely easy to use interface. Just click on the printer font
in MIoutline's lightning-fast file selector and watch the
conversion. No path or file names to type!
MIoutline is available from your local dealer or directly from
Mirror Image (we accept VISA or MasterCard and ship next day, Air
Mail).
MIoutline retails for $125 US and is also available for a special
20% discount when ordered directly from Mirror Image along with
our PPage font converter/manager, MIfont. See elsewhere in this
archive for more information on MIfont.
