- WinPSX v2.0 New Features
-
-
- Please Note: This is a list of new features in WinPSX v2.0 and not a
- user's guide.
-
-
- 1. Font Name display.
-
- WinPSX v2.0 includes a "Show Name" check box that once checked will display
- the file names as well as the font names of Type 1 fonts. This feature
- isn't supported for Type 3 soft fonts.
-
-
-
- 2. Auto Save Configuration.
-
- Normally, upon termination, WinPSX saves your configuration in WINPSX.INI.
- If you want to disable it from doing so uncheck this check box.
-
-
-
- 3. Error Handler.
-
- WinPSX v2.0 includes a built in PS Error Handler, courtesy of Adobe Systems
- Inc. The Error Handler is the same as the regular EHANDLER.PS. To send the
- Error Handler to the printer select the appropriate menu option from the
- "Printer" menu. The Error Handler will be downloaded and become resident in
- the printer. Note: the Error Handler doesn't waist paper by printing out a
- page that says: "Error Handler downloaded."
-
-
-
- 4. Background Downloading.
-
- While downloading soft fonts with WinPSX v2.0 you can switch to and work in
- other Applications but you won't be able to print until WinPSX is finished
- downloading. This feature is available in both the main program and in
- batch/WinPSX-FMPSX mode.
-
-
-
- 5. Device Info in batch/WinPSX-FMPSX.
-
- A new check box has been added to the batch/WinPSX-FMPSX dialog that if
- checked will print a Device Info page following the download.
-
-
-
- 6. Print Files ListBox.
-
- A new item under the "Printer" menu allows you to print the Files/FontNames
- listed in the Files ListBox. When the Output Port is "File" WinPSX prints
- to a TXT file called LISTFONT.TXT. This file is a plain text file. In all
- other configurations of the Output Port WinPSX generates PostScript code.
-
-
-
- 7. Font Samples changes.
-
- A new menu item was added: "Samples." When in the Font Type 1 mode, you can
- print samples of *already* downloaded fonts by selecting Quick Samples or
- Full Samples from the "Samples" menu. This puts a check mark next to the
- appropriate Sample menu item and changes the "Download" button to "Print
- Samples" Highlight as many files as you want (up to 50) and press the "Print
- Samples" button. To return to "Download" mode un-check the appropriate font
- Sample menu item.
-
- The line spacing problem should be fixed.
-
- WinPSX no longer assumes StandardEncoding for a font. If a font does not have
- StandardEncoding, WinPSX will not re-Encode the font to its own character set.
-
- The PostScript code for all samples has been significantly optimized and
- should yield faster samples.
-
-
-
- Have fun!
