These Bengali fonts (I named them as Sonar Gaon)
works with Microsoft WINDOWS and its applications.
In order to use the Sonar Gaon (and other) Bengali
fonts, you must have the WINDOWS installed.
1. Install windows (version 2 or higher or windows/286
or windows 3.x) in a directory called windows.
(Windows setup program automatocally proposes this
name during installation). Select HP Series II laser
printer during the installation.
2. Create a directory called "arfonts" by using
the following DOS command at the DOS prompt:
c>md arfonts ─┘ (─┘ = enter)
3. Make the arfonts as the default directory:
c>cd\arfonts ─┘
4. Copy all files from the font disk labeled arfonts
to the directory arfonts:
copy a:*.* ─┘
These files include printer font files (*.sc*) and
other utilities.
5. Start installation of the Bengali fonts by using
the command:
bipw3 ─┘
At the menu screen, change the defaults as necessary.
The program will create matching screen fonts
corresponding to each printer font being installed
depending on the choices made at the menu screen,
for example, wheather the graphics adapter is a
CGA or VGA etc.
6. Note that the installation program assumes that
the fonts are being installed for a HP series II or III
laser printer. If you want to chose HP LaserJet +,
you can do that by hitting 'P' while in the installation
menu. However, these fonts were created for and tested
on a HP series II and compatible printers. Equal
result should be obtainable with any laser printer
that is HP series II compatible and configured as HP II.
7. Once installation is complete, start windows'
wordprocessing program "write" by using the command:
win write ─┘
8. While in 'write', Bengali font(s) of different point
size can be chosen from the 'character', 'Font' menu:
In write use: alt+C+F (or appropriate menu selection
by mouse) to choose desired font.
For more information about using WRITE consult windows
manual.
* Note that the Bengali Charter has 3 point sizes:
10, 18 and 26. These point sizes should actually be
12, 18 and 28 points.
** Once the fonts are installed for windows, any windows
application can use them. For example, PageMaker,
Microsoft Word for Windows, Microsoft Excel, etc.
