!FontPrint ========== !FontPrint is a utility for editing the list of fonts known by PostScript® printers. It requires !Printers to be running. To use !FontPrint, install it onto the iconbar by double-clicking in the usual way. Open the window by clicking on the icon. When a PostScript printer is selected (using the mechanism provided by !Printers) the !FontPrint window will reflect the fonts known in that printer. The list consists of two types of entries: "mappings" and "downloads." Mapping ======= A "mapping" is a specification of how a RISC OS font maps onto a PostScript font. For example, the entry: Trinity.Medium Map to Times-Roman means that the RISC OS font "Trinity.Medium" should be displayed on the printer using the PostScript font "Times-Roman". Download ======== "Download" entries indicate that a particular RISC OS font should be downloaded to the printer whenever !Printers is started. The conversion of the RISC OS font into an equivalent PostScript font is handled automatically by the printing system. Downloaded fonts take up a very large amount of memory in the printer, so use them sparingly. If the font is seldom used, either set up a suitable mapping or leave the font out of the list altogether. In the latter case, the font will be downloaded automatically if and when it is needed, and will only occupy printer memory for the duration of that print job. Menu options ============ Pressing the MENU mouse button over the font list pops up a menu of editing operations that lets you add, delete, and remap fonts. See the RISC OS 3 User Guide for full instructions. The "Defaults" button re-loads the default list of fonts for the selected printer. Any changes you have made will be lost. The "Save" button writes your changes back to disc for future use. The font list actually resides inside the !Printers application, but this is handled automatically. Selecting a different printer ============================= At any time selecting a different printer (by clicking on its icon) changes the !FontPrint window to show that printer's fonts. If you have made any unsaved changes to the list, they will be lost when you select another printer. -- The name PostScript® is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.
