ATM Font List

When the JobSpecific program begins, the PostScript fonts available through your system's Adobe Type Manager (ATM) are automatically listed in the left hand list. These files are split between the two lists when you begin selecting fonts or opening a font list. The total number of fonts listed through the ATM is shown below the left font list.

Auto Window Adjustment

Different screen sizes and resolutions may require you to change JobSpecific's window from its default size and location. When you close JobSpecific it automatically stores your last window coordinates and will open in the newly adjusted dimensions and location. If it should be closed while minimized, end up being too large, or too far off the screen, JobSpecific will revert to the default size and/or location the next time the program is run.

Uninstalling the Program

If you plan to continue to use it, you must register it. Only unregistered versions of the program may be distributed as shareware.

Displaying Font

To view a sample of the selected font, press CTRL+S. A small window will open and display the font if your system is capable of it.

To close the sample window press any key or the mouse button over the main window section.

You may only have one font selected at a time. If both lists have a selected font, the font ATM List is the one displayed.


Drag - Drop
Drag and Drop

To use this feature search in the Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer to find the JobSpecific file (JSF) you wish to open. Use the mouse to point to the file and hold down the left mouse button. Continuing to hold down the left mouse button, move the mouse cursor any place over the opened JobSpecific program window. Release the left mouse button. JobSpecific will then automatically open the file.

To merge lists using drag-drop, first be sure JobSpecific is the active window then press ALT+M. The next file you drag-drop will be merged with the currently selected fonts.


JobSpecific Files

You can save and open JobSpecific files (JSF) to store and retrieve your font lists. These are standard text files with the JSF extension. See Saving List for various ways the fonts may be listed in the file.

Within the JSF file there is a single section containing font information beginning with [Fonts] and ending with [EndFonts]. Any text before or after this section is ignored. Only the first such section of fonts is recognized by JobSpecific.

You can use a standard Windows text editor such as NotePad to edit your files. There should be only one font per text line. Once saved, you can also add other information. Like initialization files, JobSpecific will ignore any text after a semicolon character. In the example below, the text after the semicolon such as "main text" is ignored when JobSpecific reads the file back in.

Note: Any duplicate listing of fonts within the same or merged JSF file will be ignored.

[Fonts]	; begin font listing

Apollo MT SC, BOLD	; for headlines

Futura Lt	; main text

TektoMM	; for descriptions

[EndFonts]	; end font listing


Merging Lists

Select Merge Lists from the File menu to open a second list file to merge with the currently selected fonts. Any duplicate fonts already selected will automatically be ignored. This may be repeated for as many font lists you need to merge. JobSpecific will only alert you to fonts not available in the ATM ini file.

To merge lists using drag-drop, first be sure JobSpecific is the active window then press ALT+M. The next file you drag-drop will be merged with the currently selected fonts.


Open From Win.ini

Use this button or select Open from Win.ini from the File menu. This retrieves the fonts under a printer section in the Win.ini file and lists them by name into the Selected List. This is only a copy of the fonts listed and will not change the Win.ini file unless you Save to the Win.ini file.


Open List from File

You can open a JobSpecific file (JSF) of a list previously saved in any one of three available file formats. See also Selected List, Merging Lists, and JobSpecific Files. You can also use the drag-drop feature to open the file or double click on the file while in the Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer to automatically startup JobSpecific with that file.

Use this button to open a file or select Open List file from the File menu. When opening the file, JobSpecific will automatically determine the file format used. When you resave the list, the same file name and format will remain the same unless you resave using Save List to file as... from the File menu.

JobSpecific PS Font Assigner

If you do desk top publishing, you may have been notified by a service bureau that your PostScript fonts were not available in the PRN file you sent them. JobSpecific ensures this doesn't happen again. It allows you to keep all your PostScript fonts available for the screen using the Adobe Type Manager (ATM) yet doesn't clutter up your Win.ini file with unused font references. Currently you have to keep a full path reference available under each PostScript driver for each font on your system. The ATM.ini file can hold up to 900 font references, but your Win.ini is required to hold much more information than just fonts references and both are limited to a byte size of 64K (65534 bytes).

Other font assigners make you choose your fonts before you begin creating a job. Now you can view and work with all your fonts. At a push of a button, JobSpecific allows you to assign only those fonts specifically required by the PostScript printer driver during or after the creation of your job. You select and view the fonts by fontface name, JobSpecific takes care of placing the references into your Win.ini and immediately informs Windows of the font changes so you don't have to reboot.

Another usage is when you need to maintain more than one list of PostScript files in Win.ini. Perhaps one for a PostScript printer on LPT1 and another a PostScript printer on FILE. JobSpecific reads and writes font references under any PostScript driver in your Win.ini and displays them to you by fontface name so you won't have to guess what's listed there.

Other features include displaying font samples, the ability to keep separate font list files (using long file names in Windows 95) which you can open, save, annotate with any text editor, intelligently merge with other lists, and drag-drop into JobSpecific or open directly from Windows File Manager or Explorer.

Plus you can printout font lists that include the fontface names and/or full path file names for a hard copy reference. The interface is uncluttered and straight forward leaving you plenty of time to get on to the business of publishing rather than sifting through menus and dialog boxes.

Price: $30.00 per copy/machine plus $5.00 shipping and handling in U.S. funds. Florida residents please add 6% sales tax.

Note: The price per copy is per single machine. You may be able to save your organization money by purchasing a Site License. See the License text file or visit our World Wide Web site at http://www.flinet.com/~muniz for further information.

Save to Win.ini

Use this button or select Save to win.ini from the File menu.This saves the fonts in the Selected List to a printer section in the Win.ini file. You are presented with a choice of the available PostScript printer sections. Choose one of the sections. Your list will be saved to the Win.ini file in the following manner:

[PostScript,File]

ATM=placeholder

softfonts=67

softfont1=c:\psfonts\pfm\0990a___.pfm,c:\psfonts\0990a___.pfb

softfont2=c:\psfonts\pfm\0806a___.pfm,c:\psfonts\0806a___.pfb

....

Here File may be replaced by any other appropriate printer port. The previous list of fonts (if any) will be removed. If adding your new font list will cause the Win.ini file to exceed 64K, JobSpecific will notify you that it will not save the new listings. You should trim down your Selected List and try again.

Note: JobSpecific automatically and immeditately informs Windows of your font changes, so you do not need to reboot Windows. Some programs, however, do not respond to such system wide font changes while they are running. Therefore, opened programs may need to be restarted or, if possible, manually instructed to refresh their font data for font changes to take effect.


Saving List
Saving List to File

You can save your Selected List fonts to a JobSpecific text (JSF) file in three file formats. See also Save to Win.ini and JobSpecific Files.

File Formats:

SoftfontsXX : This is a text file that has the same type of entries as are used in the Win.ini file. It starts with Softfonts=Number of fonts and then is followed by the font listing of Softfont1=Font files then Softfont2=Font files and so forth. This is the default format. See also Save to Win.ini.

Font Name : This is a text file that has the same type of entries as are used in the ATM.ini file. It lists them as Font Name=Font files.

Name Only: This is a text file that lists your selected font(s) by name only.
