  51. *p+156Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XFontLoader scales fonts by scaling the bit pattern.  The results when scaling down are usually good.  This

  56. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xthe original.  The same applies to mirror and upside down.
  57. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThe fixed pitch option can be issued without specifying the pitch.  Just use "-f".  It's not recommended as

  60. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XWhen specifying an output device, FontLoader checks the name for a period.  If a period is present,
  61. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XFontLoader outputs a new soft font file.  If the period is missing,  FontLoader assumes that the output
  62. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xdevice is connected to the LaserJet.  It then adds the control codes required to inform the LaserJet that a
  63. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xfont will be download.  Thus, if a new soft font file is to be created that doesn't have an extension name,
  64. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xmake sure a period is present at the end of the file name(i.e. "FontLodr HV240RPN.USP -r NewFile.").
  65. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XIf the output device name is "PRN", "LPT1", "LPT2", or "LPT3" the ROM BIOS printer services are used.

  92. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XSo why didn't I just set up this file:                                 *p1230XOr pass the font on the command line to this:

  96. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XWell I could have done it either way but I wanted to show you a trick that increases the flexibility of the
  97. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xresponse file.  Here's the trick:  If I execute the response file with no font file,  as above,  the fonts
  98. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XHV24.USP and HV10.USP are used.  But,  If I pass another font file on the command line,  Then:
  99. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThis   *p350X"C:>FontLodr @RespFile TR30.USP 10"             *p1230XEquals    *p1406X"C:>FontLodr TR30.USP -s:12-m 10"

  102. *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
  103. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwithout modification.  This works because "-SW:100" is a default.
  104. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XYou may pass a response file a device name without a font file name or an option as long as the device
  105. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xname is "PRN", "LPT1", "LPT2", "LPT3", or "NUL".  (i.e.  "C:>FontLodr @RespFile lpt2 1200").
  106. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XIf you make a response file with your word processor,  make sure the file is pure ASCII text.  Most word
  107. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xprocessors will normally write files in their own file format but will provide a way to write ASCII text files.

  141. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xwill have to set these manually.  Set the cell height to your printer driver's Vertical Motion Index for the font.
  142. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XI recommend finding a utility that can modify font header records.  But you can do it with DEBUG and the

  144. *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.

  158. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XTo get you up and running quickly,  here are the basics:  If you are going to use proportional fonts with
  159. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xyour software,  your software must support them.  Support means that your software knows how to call
  160. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xthem and has a width table.  Most programs that support the LaserJet at least have drivers for the HP font
  161. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xcartridges and for the HP soft font packages.  To use soft fonts that your printer doesn't know about,  the
  162. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xprinter driver can be edited to include the font.  Or,  you can download the font with FontLoader and have
  163. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xyour program call a font with similar characteristics(width table,  vertical size,  weight,  etc.)  and then
  164. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xembed an escape code to call the font by its ID number.
  165. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XEvery font that is set to your LaserJet has an ID number associated with it.  The number can be from 0 to
  166. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240X32767.  No two fonts can have the same ID.  If your program loads fonts for you,  you won't know what ID's
  167. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xit's using.  If you want to load a font that isn't loaded automatically,  use FontLoader to load the font with a
  168. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xhigh ID number.
  169. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XTo call a font by its ID number,  you will have to find out how to embed an escape character(char 27) in
  170. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xyour text.  With many word processors you can hold down the Alt key,  then press the 2 key and then the 7
  171. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xkey on the numeric keypad,  and then release the Alt key.  After the escape character,  the rest of the code
  172. *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
  173. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240X#200.).  This works in Word and PCWrite.  Unfortunately,  the characters in the escape code are counted
  174. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xas taking up space in a line and can throw off the alignment of paragraphs.
  175. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XIn WordPerfect,  use the "Insert Printer Command" and type "<esc>(200X" literally.  In Sprint goto "Style
  176. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XOther Format" and type "ESCAPE s= "@char(27)(200X" ".  These methods do not take up space in a line.
  177. *p+104Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThe ability to call a font by its ID number can be useful if you want to load fonts that have the same
  178. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xcharacteristics.  For example:  A font will look the same to the LaserJet as a font modified with the white on
  179. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xblack option.  If your program calls one of these fonts by its description,  the LaserJet will pick the font with
  180. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xthe lower ID (Higher ID with some clones!).  On this page,  normal 10 point Helv is called by its description.
  181. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240XThe white on black version is loaded with a higher ID and is called by its ID.

  183. *p+52Y(0U(s1p10v0s0b4T*p240Xare non-standard.  Most soft fonts use a weight of 0 for normal characters and 3 for bold.  BitStream uses
