HANDWRIT.SFT is an 18 point handwriting font. The batch file TESTFONT.BAT will
print out a two page sample showing the characters defined for each ASCII
value. The ASCII values without characters next to them are unassigned.
HANDWRIT.SFT was created by using FONTEDIT, which is a font editor for HP
LaserJet soft fonts. With FONTEDIT, you can change the bit map for any
character in any LaserJet bit-mapped font. For instance, you could change the
slant of all letters in the font in one easy step.
Naturally, FONTEDIT has many more features, such as:
- Smoothly change the point size of your bit-mapped fonts, just like you
can do with scalable Postscript outline fonts.
- Special effects: mirror image, drop shadow, make hollow, rotate, make
thinner, upside down, slant, tilt, resize ... and more!
- Sculpt individual pixels of a character, or regions of pixels such as
rectangular, circle, ellipse, parallelogram, or arbitrary polygon
regions.
- Import characters from other soft fonts, or from black & white .PCX or
.TIF. For instance, you could scan a company logo and make a character
in a soft font out of it. Or make a font out of your handwriting! (this
is how HANDWRIT.SFT was made)
FONTEDIT requires VGA/EGA/CGA/Herc, or AT&T video, and at least 256K RAM. A
mouse is optional.
FONTEDIT is available from me, the author, for the low price of $30. A free
shareware demo version is available by writing to me, or by downloading file
#28968 from the IBM PC files on GENIE. A version for the HP DeskJet is also
available. To purchase FONTEDIT, send check or money order to:
Alexander Walter
182 ILER Dr.
Middletown, NJ. 07748
(908) 949-0507
(908) 671-5080
(P.S. GENIE gurus: search for files from uploader address "waltera" in case
I've uploaded an upgraded version. Feedback welcome, too!)
Would you like a LaserJet or DeskJet font made out of your printing or
handwriting? If you send me printing/writing samples on white, unlined 8.5" x
11" paper plus $150, I will send you a font and a free copy of my FONTEDIT
program. Don't forget to include upper/lower case, numbers, and punctuation.
