- Ventura Publisher - Gem Edition
- &
- Windows 3.0 - All Applications
- -------------------------------
-
- We recommend that you print this file so you will have a hard
- copy to guide yourself during installation.
-
- All files necessary for proper installation of your fonts
- in Windows Ventura Publisher (GEM) and CorelDraw! are
- included in this disk.
-
- File Naming Convention:
-
- VGA = Screen font for Ventura
- FON = Screen font for Windows
- PFB = Type 1 (Binary) Printer Font
- AFM = Adobe Font Metrics (used by
- CorelDraw's WFNBOSS to convert
- Type1 to WFN)
- PFM = Font metrics for Windows

- WID = Width table for Ventura
- LST = List file to create Width
- table using VFMTOWID.EXE
- (this utility is found in
- Utilities disk of Ventura)
-
- AFTER YOU HAVE EXTRACTED THE FILES FROM AFONT.EXE YOU
- SHOULD COPY ALL FILES TO A FLOPPY DISK. ANY DISK WILL
- HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO HOLD ALL THIS FILES.

- INSTALLING FONTS FOR WINDOWS
- *******************************************************
-
- NOTE: PRINTER FONTS FILES ARE THE SAME
- FOR BOTH VENTURA AND WINDOWS
-
- IF YOU DON'T HAVE ADOBE TYPE MANAGER DO THE FOLLOWING:
-
- Step 1: Insert diskette in drive A: or B:
-
- Step 2: Copy PRINTER FONTS files to the PSFONTS directory
-
- command: COPY A:*.PFB C:\PSFONTS
-
- Step 3: Copy FONT METRICS files to your PSFONTS directory
-
- command: COPY A:*.PFM C:\PSFONTS
-
- Step 4: Run Notepad or your favorite text editor and edit the
- WIN.INI file.
-
- Step 5: Open your WIN.INI file
-
- Step 6: Go to the heading [PostScript,XXX] where XXX is your
- printer port. (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, or FILE)
-
- If these are the first softfonts you are installing go to Step 7.
-
- If you already have softfonts installed proceed to Step 9.
-
- Step 7: Add the following lines:
-
- softfonts=1
- softfont1=C:\PSFONTS\AFUTBLK_.PFM,C:\PSFONTS\AFUTBLK_.PFB
-
- Step 8: Save the WIN.INI file once you have entered these lines.
-
- Step 9: If you already have softfonts installed you should enter
- the lines in Step 7, but number the softfonts accordingly.
-
- For example: If you have 4 fonts installed, the new font
- would become softfont5. Now softfonts=5 at
- the top of the list.
-
- Step 10: You should enter the above lines for every PostScript port
- listing in your WIN.INI so if you change printer ports
- your fonts are always available.
-
- The printer fonts are installed and ready to be used.
-
- Step 11: Exit Windows and restart it so the new font information
- becomes effective.
-
- Step 12: Install screen fonts. From Windows run Control Panel.
-
- Step 13: Click on the FONTS icon.
-
- Step 14: Choose ADD... and choose either A: or B: depending
- on the drive you are using.
-
- Step 15: Windows will read the disk information and show you
- the files available.
-
- Step 16: Click on the file with the extension .FON and choose OK.
- The screen fonts will be added and will show in the
- display box.
-
- You may choose NOT to install the screen fonts to save disk space.
- The printer fonts work regardless of the screen fonts being
- installed or not.
-

- INSTALLING FONTS WITH ADOBE TYPE MANAGER
- ******************************************************
-
- Step 1: Start ATM Control and click on ADD...
-
- Step 2: Click on the drive and/or directory where your font is
- located.
-
- Step 3: Click on the font name and click on ADD...
-
- The font is installed automatically in your win.ini
- in all the ports you have listed, and the font numbers
- are updated.
-
- Step 4: Open the WIN.INI using a text editor such as notepad.
-
- Step 5: Go to the line that mentions the font you just installed
- and add a comma (,) and c:\psfonts\afutblk_.pfb to indicate
- where to find the printer font.
-
- Ex: softfontX=c:\psfonts\afutblk_.pfm,c:\psfonts\afutblk_.pfb
-
- ATM adds fonts to the WIN.INI as if they were pre-downloaded
- to the printer. If you would like to download the font prior
- to printing, don't add the line above.

- *****************************************************
- INSTALLING FONTS FOR CORELDRAW! 1.21 & 2.0
- *****************************************************
- You should copy the AFM file to your PSFONTS directory to
- improve the speed. You may install from the floppy disk
- but it is not advisable because WFNBOSS keeps that information
- and the next time you convert a Type1 font it will look in
- you floppy drive, giving an error if it is empty.
-
- Step1: Start Windows and Run WFNBOSS which should be located
- in your CorelDraw! directory.
-
- Step2: Click on the Conversion Type box until Adobe Type 1 shows.
-
- Step3: The Source Directory should be the one where both PFB and
- AFM files are located (PSFONTS). CorelDraw! does not use
- PFM's in the conversion. If you want to change the Source
- Directory click on NEW DIR and choose the right one.
-
- Step4: The Destination Directory should be the one where CorelDraw!
- fonts are. This option is gray and may not be changed from
- within WFNBOSS. You may change by editing the file WFNBOSS.INI
-
- Step5: Once you have chosen the right directory, the available files
- are displayed in the box named Available Fonts.
-
- Step6: Click on the one you want to convert, AFUTBLK_.
-
- Step7: The CorelDraw Name may be changed if you wish. There is no reason
- to do so.
-
- Step8: The File Name defaults to the PFB file name with the extension WFN.
- You may change this name if there is a conflict with other files.
- We try to name our fonts in a fashion that does not conflict with
- other files. All our fonts start with an "A" followed by a font
- specific 3 letter code.
-
- Step9: Click on CONVERT. Another dialog box appears showing the Postscript
- font name. Just click OK. The conversion will start. You can see
- the progress at the bottom, in the status box.
-
- Step10: If you are using CORELDRAW! version 1.21 you have to exit Windows
- and restart it so the information becomes effective. This is because
- the INI information is contained in the WIN.INI.
- If you have version 2.0, you don't have to exit Windows. Version 2.0
- uses its own independent CORELDRW.INI. If you had CorelDraw! running
- when the conversion was done, just exit CorelDraw! and restart it.
-
- Now the font is available and you'll find it at the bottom of the font list
- If you alphabetize your fonts, use Notepad to edit CORELDRW.INI and move the
- font line to the proper location, around the "F's".
