@HEADLINE 1L = WYSIFonts for Ventura and PageMaker PC
Publisher Information Service

When you're SERIOUS about your documents
If you've attempted to install new fonts in Ventura Publisher or PageMaker
PC you have doubtless soon encounted some difficulties - amongst there
are:
Installation Ventura is particularly ornery whcn it comes to installing
new fonts and creating a .wid table can be taxing on the nerves.
Screen Fonts once your installation has been accomplished, very often
the WYSIWYG concept breaks down entirely! Many fonts today are not
provided with matching screen fonts which are compatible with VP or
PM. Therefore, you are often forced into estimating what your final
output will look like since VP will substitute another screen font,
and PM will often present you with a mess of garbage when Windows
cannot find an adequate screen font.
Kerning In order to Kern letters the fonts you use must be provided
with kerning pairs. These function to assist both your printer and
the screen display when you choose to automatically or manually kern
letters to your satisfaction.
Screen Resolutions <197> even if you have the good fortune to be provided
with adequate screen fonts, if they do not support the graphis screen
you are using you will still get an unfaithful representation.
Support for Special Characters if you need special characters in your
font but have no way to install them, you're up the creek.
AND THIS IS WYSIWYG?
Well, DTP never promised to solve all of mankind's publishing problems,
but there IS a better way.
SoftCraft, Inc. of Madison, Wis is now providing the VP/PM user with
an easy-to-use and highly flexible font installation package - WYSIFonts. The
package is designed to assist the Ventura Publisher/PageMaker PC or
MicroSoft Windows user with a simply method for installing new fonts.
In order to take full advantage of the touted WYSIWYG we need a wide
varitey of available font styles and sizes both for printing and screen
display - there are of course several sources of printer fonts but
few provide matching screen fonts as well.
SoftCraft has designed WYSIFonts to solve this problem by installing
all HP and SoftCraft fonts for BOTH the printer and screen. WYSIFonts
also completely automates the often cumbersom font installation procedure
and will provide automatic kerning if desired.
