- Windows Version 1.1 Nov 1992
- written by Ivan Gonzalez, CIS 72540,433
-
- What is new?
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- - In this version a bug was fixed that prevented the program from
- reading the FONTNAME from the printer font file properly in
- printer font files converted from the MAC.
- - A bug was fixed that prevented the program from reading Coreldraw
- PostScript PFMs properly.
- - Reports can now be output directly to the printer.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- CAFONTS.EXE is a font verification and search utility that will
- help you verify your PostScript font files (PFB - Printer Font Files,
- PFM - Windows Metric Files and AFM - Adobe Font Metric Files)
-
- Check-All-Fonts was written in Visual Basic 1.0 so you would need
- the Visual Basic Run Time Library "VBRUN100.DLL" this file can be
- found in CIS, MSBASIC Forum, LIB 5 as VBRUN.ZIP
-
- You will have to locate the directories where you keep your PFBs,
- PFMs and AFMs (optional) files with the Drive, Directories and
- Files navigation dialog boxes. Once found press the respective
- button to select them.
-
- You can send CAFONTS results to a file ("CAFONTS.TXT") and/or directly
- to the default printer. Just select the respective checkboxes in
- CAFONTS main screen.
-
- The 'Clear All' button will clear all options selected.
-
- You can save your directories locations by selecting the 'Save CFG'
- menu option and Load them back choosing the 'Load CFG' menu option.
-
- When all the directories are selected, press 'Go!' to start checking.
-
- CAFONTS will search the indicated directories for each type of file
- and create a table, sorted by file name.
-
- First it will step one by one through the PFB list and search for its
- corresponding companions (PFM and AFM files), then it will read the
- PostScript font name from each file to make sure they match. You will
- get an error message in the 'status' box followed by a beep to warn
- you of missing files or files with PostScript names that do not
- correspond, press 'Continue' to go on.
-
- The same procedure will be repeated with the PFMs and AFMs list. Files
- already check in previous steps will be skipped.
-
- I would like to hear of any problems with CAFONTS.EXE as well as
- suggestions to improve it.
-
- CAFONTS was written by Ivan Gonzalez and is uploaded to Compuserve as
- freeware.
-
- This program is provided "AS IS". No Warranties!
-
- Anybody can distribute CAFONTS freely as long as this DOC file is
- included and not charge is made for it.
