- Word 5.0 requires matching ".DAT" and a ".PRD" printer driver files to
- use and control soft fonts. The ".PRD" file tells Word what fonts and faces
- are available, and givesthe width of each character in all proportionally
- spaced fonts. The ".DAT" file tells Word how to download the soft fonts to
- your LaserJet printer. Word does this downloading by using its own program
- DOWN.EXE. Make sure this program is located in your Word subdirectory! Please
- read the Word manual sections on using and installing printer drivers.
-
- To use these printer drivers you must first copy them to your Word sub-
- directory. Both files must be resident in the same subdirectory that Word is
- located in to let Word automatically download soft fonts for you.
-
- Soft fonts may be located in a separate subdirectory from Word. We recommend
- that you do this. Use your Word manual to locate the section that describes
- how to tell Word where your soft fonts are located.
-
- To use a printer driver for a given document you must first select it! To
- do this, first enter Word. Use escape to stop editing text and select, "P"
- (Printer), "O" (Options), F1 (ask for listing of printer drivers). Now
- move the highlighted area (using the cursor keys) to ESFLASER.
- Hit F1 again to select the font. Then return to editing your
- text file. It should now print using Elfring Soft Fonts.
-
- Word 5.0 comes with a utility called MERGEPRD. This program lets you remove
- font definitions or add merge printer drivers together. With it you can add
- printer drivers for fonts purchased from other sources to the drivers you
- obtained from Elfring Soft Fonts. This lets you use your fonts in any way
- you please. MERGEPRD requires both the ".DAT" and the ".PRD" files to work
- correctly. Because our printer drivers are so large, we strongly recommend
- you use MERGEPRD to remove those ESF fonts you don't own from the printer
- driver. This will free up RAM space within Word.
-
- The printer drivers on this disk are named:

- esflaser.prd \portrait printer drivers
- esflaser.dat /
