NEW RELEASE
The Publisher is a computer software product which performs
functions equivalent to the traditional task of typesetting:
that is, the formatting and arrangement in type, page by
page, of written text, in the page layouts, type fonts, etc.,
chosen by the user.
The Publisher consists of two main parts: (1) a typesetting
language consisting of "tags" (instructions) concerning page
layout, font selection, etc., which can be inserted by the
user at appropriate locations in a computer text file; and
(2) an executable "batch processor" program which, upon
command, accepts a computer text file including such tag
instructions, interprets and acts on the tags, and transmits
the results directly to a printer (or, optionally, to a disk
file for later transmission to the printer).
The Publisher is both user-friendly and sophisticated. The
novice, or casual user, who has no detailed technical
knowledge of typesetting techniques, and is familiar with
only the most basic of the Publisher's instruction tags, can
copy or adapt the examples given later in this Manual to
generate documents of professional appearance in a variety of
single- and multi-column layouts and formats. In the hands of
a more knowledgeable user, the Publisher is capable of
producing work equivalent to the finest conventional
typesetting, as found in books and magazines of high quality.
2.2 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
COMPUTER
The Publisher supports the IBM personal computers (PC/XT,
PC/AT or PS/2) and other compatible microcomputers. If a
printer using soft fonts is employed, the computer should
have sufficient hard disk space for storage of the soft
fonts. The short procedure for installing the Publisher on
such a computer has been explained in Section 1. More
complete information about installation is given in the
Appendix.
OPERATING SYSTEM
The Publisher supports the MS-DOS operating system, version
2.1 or newer.
PRINTER
The Publisher supports the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer,
printers which are set up to emulate a LaserJet, and also
supports Postscript devices. The model of printer being used
is specified by the instruction tag <model=>; see the
Appendix.
PHOTO TYPESETTER
The Publisher supports any Postscript device.
FONTS SUPPORTED
The Publisher supports a variety of fonts: the available
selection depends on the type of printer (or other output
device) being used.
For LaserJet printers, the Rubicon fonts supplied with the
Publisher, namely the Trajan (serif) and Renner (sans serif)
families, are supported. The Publisher also supports the
following Hewlett Packard families of fonts, which the user
may already own or may acquire: Courier, Line Printer, Times
Roman, and Helvetica. Installation procedures to make these
Hewlett Packard fonts accessible to the Publisher are given
in the Appendix.
For Postscript devices, the 35 standard Postscript fonts are
supported, using Adobe font names.
