- IMPORTANT INFORMATION
-
- FOR USERS UPGRADING FROM FontManager version 1.1
- *********************************************************************
-
- For users upgrading from version 1.1 to 1.13, there are several
- small changes which must be made to your WIN.INI file before version
- 1.13 will be usable. You may either manually make the changes
- yourself as shown below, or there is a program CONVERT.EXE included
- with this upload that will make the changes for you. Once CONVERT.EXE
- has successfully run, it may be deleted. It is a windows app and
- must be run from windows. It creates a backup of win.ini named
- WINFMGR.BAK in case something goes south during the process.
-
- UPGRADING USERS: Your library master file and all font paks are still
- valid with version 1.13. You do NOT need to re-install FontManager.
- Just replace your existing FONTMGR.EXE file with the new one, run
- CONVERT.EXE and have at it.
-
- NEW USERS SHOULD NOT RUN CONVERT.EXE. IF YOU ARE A NEW USER,
- SIMPLY DELETE IT AND FORGET THAT IT EVER EXISTED. As a matter
- of fact, new users can ignore this readme file altogether and go
- directly to the user guide.
-
- What changes does CONVERT.EXE make?
-
- 1. Removes the semi-colon (;) from the beginning of any
- FontPakInstalled={fontpak_name} lines at the beginning of the
- softfont sections in win.ini. Check each printer port for this
- line if making manual modifications.
-
- 2. Adds an application section for FontManger to WIN.INI that
- looks like:
-
- [FONTMANAGER]
- FontManager=Installed
- FMDIR={drive:\path\FONT_MGR}
-
- For example, if the FONT_MGR directory is currently located at
- C:\FONT_MGR, the 3rd line would be C:\FONT_MGR. The first two
- lines should already exist in your WIN.INI file. If not, they
- are created.
-
- WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 1.13?
-
- 1. The usual bug fixes from user reported problems.
-
- 2. The update process has been changed to update by directory
- instead of by entire drive, thus making it faster.
-
- 3. A check for duplicate .PFM files has been added to the initial
- setup routine.
-
- 4. You will receive a warning message anytime FontManager
- installs 120 or more fonts on a printer port.
-
- 5. Speed keys have been added to the menus.
-
- 6. You can launch Control Panel directly from the main files menu.
-
- 7. The \FONT_MGR directory can now be placed anywhere at initial
- installation. Current users may relocate the FONT_MGR
- directory as long as the FMDIR= line in the FONTMANAGER app
- section of win.ini is revised to the new drive:\path\FONT_MGR.
-
- All of these changes are documented in the User Guide.
