TypeSpec is font utility that can display a character set of any installed font in your Macintosh system. It can then print an extended example of the font for use in a font catalog. TypeSpec can also be used to print typespecs for all your installed fonts at one time. You should note that each cut of a typeface get its own page, that is italic is different than bold is different than book and so on.
TypeSpec has three menus File, Edit and Font.
The File menu has three items
Print TypeSpec - which prints a single typespec for the currently displayed typeface.
Print All Fonts - which prints a typespec for every font installed in your system, except Chicago.
Quit - Quits the program.
The Edit menu is a standard edit menu for interface consistency only, it has no function.
The Font menu displays the current 'FONT' resources available to your system. Each selectable menu item gets its own typespec page.

New for 1.1
A new display indicating the prescence of Adobe Type Manager has been added. If ATM is not installed TypeSpec will look for the largest bitmapped font avaialable and draw the screen display with it.
TypeSpec is compatible with System 7.0 and TrueType fonts, HOWEVER, TypeSpec is NOT COMPATIBLE with 32-bit addressing, we are fixing that as you read this.
A bug was fixed in the Print All Fonts command which caused all the fonts to printed in the first typeface. Sorry!
New for 1.2 - 12/3/91
TypeSpec is now compatible with 32-bit addressing. Also a bug in printing was fixed that caused a crash when printing after switching printers in the Chooser.
