Program Name, Category, Keywords:
---------------------------------
LQMATRIX, printer utility, soft-fonts, font editor, 24 pin
dot matrix printer.
Short Description:
------------------
LQMATRIX is a font editor for 24 pin dot matrix printers that
use Epson codes (including the NEC 24 pin printers). The
package, besides the editor, provides a large number (about
50) soft fonts in Draft, NLQ and Proportional modes, that are
ready to be directly downloaded to the printer with the LQ.EXE
utility.
Long Description:
-----------------
LQMATRIX provides a user friendly environment for designing fast
printing, text mode, fonts for Epson LQ dot matrix printers and
compatibles. It comes with over fifty ready made and ready to use
fonts including Script, Italics, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Large Type,
Math symbols, OCR-A & B, and attractive fonts especially designed for
LQMATRIX by talented graphic designers. The documentation includes
instructions for using the fonts with various word processors
including WP 5.1, PCWrite 3, XYwrite, and Word 5.5. The downloader,
LQ.EXE, also serves as a printer setter. It can set the printer to
emphasized, bold, italics (etc.) with or without downloading.
LQMATRIX and fonts are designed to use the TEXT MODE for printing user
made fonts. In contrast to Graphics, this mode is as fast as using the
default letters and thus is useful for printing long texts. In the
Text mode the printer accepts a ('soft' or RAM) font into memory and
uses it rather than the built in ('hard' or ROM) font. In fact, when
so instructed, it can switch between the two. Thus if you have
written a paper in English, but wish to cite examples in the Greek
alphabet, you can 'download' (send to the printer) the Greek font
(GREEK.LQN on this package) and use it when necessary.
There will be two types of users for these programs. First are those
who wish to use a variety of ready made fonts for different purposes,
or just for variety's sake. These users will not be interested in
creating their own fonts. For them, all that is needed is the LQ.EXE
program. With it, any of the premade fonts included here can be
downloaded to the printer.

The other users are those who wish to create their own fonts, modify
to their satisfaction those that are already supplied, or create a
small number of special characters for a specific task. LQMATRIX.EXE
provides just the environment these users need. It is an easy to use
matrix program with many features that permits the user to create
characters, store them in a file, and download them to the Epson LQ
family of 24 dot matrix printers. With it you can design Draft, NLQ,
and Proportional characters.
Registration is for $19.50 USA ($24 USA overseas). Registered users
receive the latest version of the program, printed documentation, a
registration number and technical support without limit of time. Site
licenses are available.
