- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-
- FONTSUM is a program to print a summary of soft fonts. The
- program will load and print 15 or more different fonts dynamically
- spaced on a page. Note that the LaserJet Plus and most
- compatible printers are restricted to fonts of 30 points in
- height. FONTSUM uses the resident 12 point courier font for
- headings and font names.
-
- PROGRAM USAGE
-
- FONTSUM works from the DOS command line.
- C> FONTSUM [@][d:][path]fn1 [fn2...fnn] [/Cnn] [/N] [/Odest]
- [/Ttext] [/Dtext] [/Pnn] [/Mnn]
-
- fn1 is a soft font file name. Wildcards are permitted.
- The filename may be prefixed with a drive and path
- identifier if necessary. Multiple filenames may be
- specified up to the limit of the command line.
-
- If the filename is prefixed by a @, the filename
- is assumed to be a text file containing a list of
- fonts to be printed. Each font name must begin in
- the first position of a new line. Comments must be
- preceeded by a space and may be included anywhere
- on the line after the filename. The filename may
- contain drive and path designators if desired.
-
- /Cnn Copy count parameter. This may be specified to
- produce multiple copies of the font summary
- listings. Valid entries are 1 thru 99. The default
- value is 1.
-
- /N NoSort. By default, names specified by wild cards
- will be sorted in alphanumeric sequence.
- Specifying the /N option will suppress the sorting
- of the file names.
-
- /Odest Destination. This option may be used to override
- the default destination by specifying a parameter
- such as COM1, LPT2, etc. The default value is PRN
- (LPT1). The default value may be specified in an
- environment variable ORBLJ. This is set with the
- DOS SET command: SET ORBLJ=LPT1
-
- * /Ttext This will specify a title to be printed at the top
- of each page. The title may be up to 80 characters
- long. To include spaces in the title description,
- use the underscore (_) character.
-
- * /Dtext This parameter will insert the date at the top of
- each page. The default value (/D) is the current
- date. The date may be specified as a text string,
- such as /DJanuary_1,_1989.
-
- * /Pnn Page numbering. This parameter will insert page
- numbers at the top of each page. You may specify a
- starting page number (/P3) which will start the
- page numbering with 3. The default value is 1.
-
- /Mnn Maximum fonts per page. This will reduce the maximum
- fonts printed on a page from the default established
- by the default printer definition. (See Setup).
-
- * The above options (/T, /D, and /P) are not available on
- unregistered copies. When you register your copy, these
- features will be activated and the advertisement graphics
- will no longer print on the output pages.
-
- FONTSUM will print one line of text for each font. The default
- test string that is printed is:
- ABCdefGHIjklMNOpqrSTUvwxYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()_+|
- This string can be replaced by the first line of text found in
- the ASCII text file FONTSUM.CFG. If you choose to use this file,
- it must be present in the current directory.
-
- SETUP
-
- You can define your printer port and printer to FONTSUM by using
- the DOS SET command to establish an environment variable. This command
- may be issued from the DOS command line or from within your AUTOEXEC.BAT
- file.
-
- The syntax is as follows:
- SET ORBLJ=ppp;n
- where ppp is the printer port (PRN, LPT1, LPT2, COM1, COM2, etc.) and n is
- the numeric equivalent of your printer type from the following table:
-
- printertype max-fonts max-pointsize
- =========== ========= =============
- 0 original lj 0 0
- 1 lj+ 16 30
- 2 lj500+ 16 30
- 3 ljII 16 unlimited
- 4 ljIId unlimited unlimited
- 5 ljIIp unlimited unlimited
- 9 lj undefined 16 30 (default)
- Examples:
-
- SET ORBLJ=PRN;9 Default value
- SET ORBLJ=LPT1;3 Define a LaserJet Series II on LPT1
- SET ORBLJ=LPT2;4 Define a LaserJet Series IID on LPT2
- SET ORBLJ=COM1;1 Define a LaserJet Plus on COM1
-
- Note that there are no spaces on either side of the = sign.
-
