=============
Version 4.2 added the ability to install a single new font. I call this
"Express Install." When you select Make or Modify Font Group
you can install a single font immediately instead of
creating an entire font group or installing an entire font
group. You do this by single-clicking on any font name, either
from the file list or the group list. At that time you will
see a sample of the font plus, if the font is not already
installed, you will see an "Express Install" command
button. Click this command button to immediately install
the new font.
AS OF 9-10-93
=============
Version 4.12 added multi-line display with zoom. Now you can view type
samples one at a time or several at a time. Also added
minimize button. I disabled this prior to this release
because I was concerned that too many resources might
be used up at one time. However, I think that's really
up to you on how you use your resources so I reactivated
the minimize button (control box and maximize button in
my opinion don't add anything useful to FontSpec so
they won't be included).
AS OF 9-7-93
============
New release, version 4.1 includes major changes. Minor changes are:
> Added registration requests. As of now there are well over
3000 copies of FontSpec distributed (Americia OnLine,
CompuServ and CD-ROM), but only 11 people have actually
sent in their registration. In order to continue to spend
time upgrading this package and talking to users on the
phone, I have to get a MUCH better return than that!
> Modified Look & Feel. The best just got better!
> Added print samples option to the printer screen.
MAJOR CHANGE: Added Font Group Management Support. Now you
can create customized font "groups", which means you can
group your favorite fonts and name them in some meaningful
way (for example, "My Favorites #1" or "Customer 117"). You
can Make, Install, Delete and Modify an unlimited number
of Font Groups. Each group contains fonts which you've added.
As a suggestion, you should make a font group of your
currently installed font list before experimenting with other
font groups. Doing so allows you to restore your original
fonts at any future time, if you so choose.
This new feature (which some companies are selling for $50
to $89 all by itself) can be accessed from the FontSpec
Printer Screen.
SIDE BENEFIT: By selecting "Make" a font group, you can also
preview TrueType font files before actually installing them.
That means you can look at all the font files you want and,
if you choose, not install any of them!

=============
Recompiled for Visual Basic 3.0
Fixed form-positioning logic for set-up form (very minor bug).
Changed Icon colors (of application) for better visual appeal.
Added starting page number option. This allows you to begin printing with any
page number you want. Printing always begins with your first selected font,
however the page numbers will print beginning with the page number you
specify. Great for creating catalogs of various font groups with continuous
page numbering (instead of starting at page 1 each time). Also, in case of an
unexpected error (like a bad font file) you can restart the program and
begin printing with the page number from the last good printed spec sheet.
The page number can be set from FontSpec's Set-Up button option.
Changed the paragraph text option so that the first word is the typeface name,
in all caps (removing the "This is..." wording). Now you can see the typeface
name in the event the font you are using only has upper case characters.
Some LaserJet 4's have experienced problems when printing very large font
collections. The problem seems to be that the Laserjet's memory is overrun,
regardless of amount of memory installed. This appears to be isolated to the
Laserjet 4 print driver. Selecting HP Laserjet Series II driver will not only
clear up any problems but will speed up printing considerably, you can then
reselect the 4's print driver when finished (but you may find the increased
speed of the Series II's driver worth keeping).

=============
First shareware release. Verison 3.2 is an experiment in the shareware concept.
If the concept works for this particular program then I'll continue to support
it with ongoing updates and an open program (unrestricted use). Otherwise I
may consider limiting the shareware version's capabilities. If you find this
program of value to you please don't think that the "other guy" will send in
his registration (he probably won't). So, I'm COUNTING ON YOU(!) to do the
right thing:
UniTech Corporation
2697 McKelvey Road
Maryland Heights, MO 63043
Phone: 314 770-2770
Registration is just $25.00. (Do it. You'll feel great!)
