  79. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThe Rotate Bit Map option rotates a font normally but leaves the font's orientation unchanged.  The rotated
  80. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xfont will print in the original direction but it's characters are rotated.  To write a word with the rotated font,
  81. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwrite the word vertically.  The width between characters will be the current line spacing.
  82. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThe Narrow / Thin option removes the specified number of dots from the outside edge of the characters.
  83. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XAs the number of dots specified is increased,  the characters will start to break apart and then will
  84. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xdisappear.  This option works best with large fonts.  Try removing only one dot at first.
  85. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XFontLoader scales fonts by scaling the bit pattern.  The results when scaling down are usually good.  This

  87. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XScaling can be applied to the width or height of a character independently.  This can be used to generate a
  88. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xtall thin font or a short fat font.  (DOS Tip:  To use a "%" in a batch file,  specify it twice.)
  89. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XTo use the white on black option,  the cell height and baseline length values in a soft font's header record
  90. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xmay have to be modified.  Enlarge these values if there is not enough black space above and below the
  91. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xcharacter.  Use the "-AA"  Auto Adjust option to adjust these values.  This has no effect on a font without the
  92. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwhite on black option.  If there is still white space between lines,  set the cell height and baseline length
  93. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xmanually.  Set the cell height to your printer driver's Vertical Motion Index for the font.  I recommend finding

  96. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XMost word processors truncate spaces at the end of a line.  With white on black,  the space is a black box.

  99. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xeasiest solution is to fix the pitch: "-w-f:12".  But if you want proportional,  here's one solution:  Switch to the

  101. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xmargin that is only slightly ragged.  Then set up a second column to print just in from the right margin and
  102. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwrite a few spaces on each line to align the margin.

  104. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XFor an interesting effect on large fonts,  create an outline six dots thick.  Send the results to a temporary

  138. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XHV24.USP and HV10.USP are used.  But,  If I pass another font file on the command line,  Then:

  142. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XHere's another trick:  Placing  "-SW:100%" alone on a line in the response file will send the current font file
  143. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwithout modification.  This works because "-SW:100" is a default.

  211. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xcan be typed in.  To select a primary font the code is  <esc>(#X  (example:  <esc>(200X to pick font ID
  212. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240X#200.).  This works in Word and PCWrite.  Unfortunately,  the characters in the escape code are counted
  213. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xas taking up space in a line and can throw off the alignment of paragraphs.
  214. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XIn WordPerfect,  use the "Insert Printer Command" and type "<esc>(200X" literally.  In Sprint goto "Style
  215. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XOther Format" and type "ESCAPE s= "@char(27)(200X" ".  These methods do not take up space in a line.
  216. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XCalling a font by its ID number is useful when loading fonts with the same characteristics.  For example:  A
  217. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xfont modified with the white on black option looks the same to the LaserJet as the unmodified font.  If your
  218. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xprogram calls one of these fonts by description,  the LaserJet will pick the font with the lower ID (Higher on
  219. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xsome clones!).  On this page,  normal 10 pt Helv is called by description.  The white on black version is
  220. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xloaded with a higher ID and called by its ID.  Another method is to change the weight of the white on black
  221. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xfont.  Include this font in your printer driver or embed an escape code to call it by weight.
  222. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XIf you want to use BitStream fonts that came with one program in another program,  notice the
  223. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xnonstandard weights.  Most soft fonts use a weight of 0 for normal characters and 3 for bold.  BitStream
  224. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xuses -2 for normal and 2 for bold.  You will also have to decode the strange names given to their fonts.
  225. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThis document was produced with Sprint.  To create a printer driver for these fonts,  I started with a
  226. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xcartridge definition in "HP.SPL".  Then I copied fonts from other definitions and used the -WT option with
  227. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XWT2SPL.EXE to build a customized version.
  228. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XTo make a new printer driver for Sprint,  copy SP-SETUP.EXE,  MAIN.SPL,  and HP.SPL to your hard disk.
  229. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThen edit HP.SPL.  Run SP-SETUP from the hard disk and choose "Printer Installation".  (P.S.  Sprint users
