*p625X&k2.5H"glyphs" as we call them. This initial set is named The Basics, and includes this Helvette
*p625X&k4.7H(a sans serif font), Roman (a serif font), Chancelor (an old-style brush or script font),
*p625X&k3.4Hand Rockland (a square serif font). The Basics are a diverse set of four fonts that were
*p625X&k4.4Hdesigned to provide first-time font users with some fun and variety. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k9.1HGlyphix can take any of these glyphs and create fonts for you to use
*p625X&k4.7Himmediately with your LaserJet. (Glyphix includes a font downloading program and
*p625X&k4.9Hallows you to create standard HP soft font files. These fonts are in the same format
*p625X&k3.8Has those sold by HP and other vendors.) Using a series of simple menus, Glyphix will
*p625X&k4.9Hmake you a font from 6 to 60 points tall. (Please note that a LaserJet Plus can only
*p625X&k3.5Hprint a limited range of fonts over 30 point due to limited memory.) In addition to point
*p625X&k4.7Hsize, you can vary the weight of the font (bold or light), select an orientation (portrait
*p625X&k7.1Hor landscape), and add slant or a fill pattern. You can even make expanded or
*p625X&k4.3Hcompressed fonts. In short Glyphix gives you millions of fonts, without requiring you
*p625X&k4.4Hto edit dots or buy hundreds of individual font files. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k7HWith Glyphix, you can make just the font you need. Instead of hoarding
*p625X&k4Hmegabytes worth of font files, you can make fonts as you need them. In addition, we
*p625X&k5.7Hhave created two exciting utilities that make our fonts even easier to use: our font
*p625X&k4.4Hmanagers for Microsoft Word and WordPerfect. &l1X &l0O*p625X&k4.4H&l0T&l0o6d66P&l0O&l1H(104X&k4.4H&l8c0l1e84F&l10.56C&k.4H&a625L&k0H*p625X*p262Y*p625X&k4.4H*p625X&k4.4H

*p625X&k4.5Hcollections of several different fonts. The managers then make the necessary driver
*p625X&k4.9Hfiles for your copy of MS Word or WordPerfect to recognize, format and select all of
*p625X&k4.4Hthe fonts in a library. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k3.8HThe MS Word font manager creates custom PRD files that allow you to select
*p625X&k2.7Hall of the fonts in a library from the format/character menu and style sheets. In addition,
*p625X&k4.7Hthe MS Word font manager can create and download fonts when you print, allowing
*p625X&k2.7Hyou to switch PRD files without having to exit Word and download new fonts. A recently
*p625X&k4.4Hintroduced feature now allows you to include hundreds of fonts in a library. Only the
*p625X&k4.3Hfonts that are needed in a document are downloaded when you print, permitting you
*p625X&k4.4Hthe widest possible selection of fonts in every document you create. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k2.9HIf you use WordPerfect, you have at your fingertips a total of 32 fonts per library
*p625X&k8.1Hand eight fonts per document. Accessing Glyphix fonts works seamlessly with
*p625X&k3.8HWordPerfect: you simply embed the WordPerfect formatting codes to change font as
*p625X&k4.9Hyou normally do. When version 5.0 of WordPerfect is released in the first quarter of
*p625X&k4.4H1988, we will be there with the ultimate font solution for that product. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k7.5HThe MS Word font manager supports all versions of Word 3.0 and later,
*p625X&k6Hincluding 4.0. The WordPerfect font manager now supports versions 4.1 and 4.2.
*p625X&k6.5HUpdates for the new versions of Word and WordPerfect will be made available at
*p625X&k4.9Hnominal charges, so the upgrade path with your word processor is insured. We will
*p625X&k2.7Halso be releasing details about screen fonts for the preview modes recently announced
*p625X&k4.4Hby both manufacturers as soon as more information is available. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k6.2HBoth font managers can mix cartridge fonts, other vendors' soft fonts and
*p625X&k5.9HGlyphix fonts in one library. Most notably, both managers can store Glyphix fonts
*p625X&k2.6Hwithout saving the actual soft font files on your disk. When the font manager is installed,
*p625X&k4.9Hall fonts are downloaded, and if they are Glyphix fonts, they are made by Glyphix at
*p625X&k6.5Hthe same time they are sent to the printer. The concept is revolutionary: we are
*p625X&k3.2Hproviding the same degree of freedom with fonts as page description languages, right
*p625X&k4.4Hfrom within the two most popular word processors on the market today! *p625X&k4.4H

*p625X&k5.3HThis PCL format is rapidly becoming a standard in the desktop publishing industry.
*p625X&k5.5HPrograms like Aldus Pagemaker and Ventura Publisher both include utilities to add
*p625X&k3.8Hfonts in this format to their LaserJet drivers. Other publishing packages that can read
*p625X&k4.4Hfonts include Lexisoft Spellbinder, Beaman-Porter Powertext and many others. So if

*p625X&k4.9HThe latter portion of this newsletter is devoted to providing you a print sample sheet
*p625X&k4Hfor each of the new glyph families. The most highly requested item was a set of fixed
*p625X&k3.3Hspaced fonts, including the IBM line drawing character set. We are proud to introduce
*p625X&k4.4Ha set of fixed space fonts that take advantage of Glyphix font generation technology.
*p625X&k6.8HMany of our users wrote to us asking for an easier way to print small tables and
*p625X&k3.7Hspreadsheets in columns that would line up. Of course, our proportional fonts can be
*p625X&k5.7Hmade as small as 6 point, but they do not line up in tables at all. Our newest font
*p625X&k3.4Hfamily, The Glyphix Fixed Faces, allows you to create fonts with a fixed pitch and point
*p625X&k3Hsize. There is also an optional line draw character set available with each of the glyphs.
*p625X&k2.8HBest of all, the fonts included in this set are familiar to most anyone in an office: Courier,
*p625X&k4.4HLetter Gothic and Prestige. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k3.3HOther families that have recently been released include our Book Faces, Sans
*p625X&k4.7HSerif Faces and Decorative Faces. These families present you with a nice sampling
*p625X&k3.8Hfor each of these font catagories. The Decoratives, for example, give you a collection
*p625X&k5.7Hof glyphs that range from the ancient elegance of our Abbey (a gothic, old english
*p625X&k4.4Hstyle) to our Orna (a high flown decorative cursive). *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k5.2HA free soft font file representing each font is included with this diskette, and
*p625X&k4.4Heach family is shown on the sample pages in the back of this newsletter. *p625X&k4.4H

*p625X&k3.5Hwe create a font management product for use in your spreadsheets, word processors
*p625X&k2.5Hand databases that have a tough time supporting the LaserJet. The escape sequences
*p625X&k3.4Hrecommended by HP and other software manufacturers are difficult to use and highly
*p625X&k4.8Hinflexible. Many of you wrote requesting a way to make a Courier 10 point 12 pitch,
*p625X&k3.6Hfor example, with the full IBM character set to do line and box drawing in products like
*p625X&k3.6HMultiMate, or Displaywrite 3 and 4. Also we were asked to make it easy to change the
*p625X&k5.7Hpitch and point of a fixed spaced font so that you could get more 123 data onto a
*p625X&k4.7Hpage, or simply match the pitch and point of another printer to eliminate the tedious
*p625X&k4.4Hreformatting of your spreadsheet data. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k5.1HOur solution is Glyphix Pop 'n Print, a memory resident program that pops
*p625X&k4.8Hup right in your favorite software and creates a font with a fixed pitch and point size.
*p625X&k5.2HIt even gives you the power to make fonts up to 60 points in size, including the line
*p625X&k3.3Hdraw character set, for forms, overheads and presentation charts. All right from within

*p625X&k2.9Hit, and sets the printer to use it the next time you print. All in the space of a few seconds.
*p625X&k3.6HYou can even save the fonts you make in setup files for easy access the next time you
*p625X&k4.4Hneed them. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k4.8HThe Pop 'n Print program reserves less than 40 Kb of your system memory,
*p625X&k4.5Hand can be run in either a memory resident or batch mode. The batch mode allows
*p625X&k3.6Hyou to create a font and remove Pop 'n Print from memory. Used in this way, you can
*p625X&k4.9Hkeep your maximum system memory free and still get the font flexibility only Pop 'n
*p625X&k4.4HPrint can offer. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k7.5HMany of you strongly suggested that we write a program to take on the
*p625X&k3.3Hcompetition and print spreadsheet data sideways. After all, we can print in landscape.
*p625X&k5.3HAnd since we create and download our fonts, versus creating our fonts graphically,
*p625X&k5.6Hprinting sideways is many times faster using Glyphix. Pop 'n Print handles the job
*p625X&k3.4Hwith grace and ease. With Pop 'n Print, you can pop up a menu window inside of your
*p625X&k4Hspreadsheet and build a font with the pitch, point and typeface required. One simple
*p625X&k4.1Hmenu lets you change your font pitch point, line spacing and orientation to portrait or
*p625X&k5.6Hlandscape. All without leaving your spreadsheet. All without any escape codes or
*p625X&k4.4Hcomplex macros. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k4.6HIn writing this program, we found many uses we never dreamed of. We use
*p625X&k4.3Hit for landscape program listings, reduced print screens for our manuals and dozens
*p625X&k5.3Hof other small tasks that make our LaserJets more fun and productive to use. This
*p625X&k3.4Hhas to be our easiest and most useful product to date. Whether you are trying to cram
*p625X&k4.6Heven more data on a page, match a print pitch to fill in a form, or create a quick and
*p625X&k6.2Heasy presentation, Pop 'n Print fits the bill. If you want to get the most from your

*p625X&k7.6Hfriends and co-workers. If you would like to distribute Glyphix fonts within your
*p625X&k5.2Hcompany or with a software product, we can offer you a license for our fonts at the
*p625X&k4.3Hrate of $500.00 per soft font file. This demo disk provides sufficient samples of all of
*p625X&k7.5Hour fonts for the purpose of sharing news of Glyphix with interested friends and
*p625X&k5.2Hco-workers. Any distribution of font files outside of this demo diskette constitutes a
*p625X&k4.4Htheft and a violation of federal copyright laws. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k6HThis is a change of policy, so we want to be clear about it. When we first
*p625X&k4Hintroduced Glyphix, we permitted the sharing of fonts so that a wide number of users
*p625X&k5.1Hcould see our quality and selection. Unfortunately, we found that entire companies
*p625X&k4.8Hwere buying one copy of Glyphix to make fonts libraries that are "shared" among its
*p625X&k3.5HLaserJet users. This type of sharing, coupled with abuses in the public domain where
*p625X&k9.1Hentire libraries of fonts are posted for downloading, only hurts SWFTE and its
*p625X&k5.5Hcustomers. As a result, we will take the role of sharing our fonts by publishing this
*p625X&k10.7Hnewsletter with our latest font samples. The font samples on this disk are
*p625X&k4.4Hcomprehensive and provide anyone a free look at our fonts. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k5.4HOur latest work concerns eliminating font files completely. These files take
*p625X&k3.8Hup megabytes of disk space for even the most casual soft font user. Fonts should be
*p625X&k5.9Hmade as they are needed, not stored as files on disk. This is the major benefit of
*p625X&k3.9HGlyphix font generation over other font formats. Our font managers for MS Word and
*p625X&k6.3HWordPerfect take full advantage of this new font generation technology. The font
*p625X&k7.7Hmanagers make and download Glyphix fonts when you select them, eliminating
*p625X&k6.3Hstorage. And we will be working on managers for PageMaker and Ventura in the
*p625X&k4.8Hcoming year. These managers will make fonts not only for printers, but for displays
*p625X&k4Has well. A font manager allows you to tap the real power of Glyphix: making fonts on
*p625X&k4.3Hdemand versus storing a limited library on disk. When you add up how much space
*p625X&k7.4Ha nice library of fonts will take up on disk, not to mention the hassle of naming
*p625X&k5.2Hconventions and other archival nightmares, Glyphix makes a lot of sense. We look
*p625X&k4.4Hfor your support as we make our fonts easier to use. *p625X&k4.4H
*p775X&k3.5HWe want to emphasize that the fonts in this newsletter represent a very limited
*p625X&k3Hsample of what Glyphix can do with its glyphs. In fact, if we gave you a comprehensive
*p625X&k5.5Hlook at the variations, it would take megabytes of files. One 60 point font can take
*p625X&k4.4H250K alone. This demo should convince you that Glyphix is a fun, flexible, powerful,
*p625X&k5.6Hand inexpensive quality product. We would like to thank you for taking the time to
*p625X&k4.4Hread this newsletter, and we look forward to fulfilling all of your font needs. *p625X&k4.4H
