- USING ESF FONTS WITH VENTURA
-
- All LaserJet fonts on this disk are compatible with Ventura Publisher. To
- use these fonts in Ventura they must first be converted into Ventura format.
- To convert these fonts you need your Ventura Disk #11.
-
- Step 1) Build new VFM files. (Ventura Font Metric width tables) Find the
- Ventura program HPLTOVFM.EXE. Run this program for each soft font found in
- this set.
-
- HPLTOVFM SM180PRN.USP /F=SYMBOLS /N=37 /P=18 /W=N
-
- Where /F= is the typeface name which MUST start with a capitol letter
- /N= is the typeface number (look these up in you Ventura manual)
- /P= is the point size of the font
- /W= weight of the font, N=normal, I=italic, B=bold, T=bold italic
-
- Step 2) Make an ASCII text file that lists the name of each VFM file created
- in step 1. (Must end in ".LST".) One file name per line. The file names must
- be listed in point size order smallest to largest, with styles listed in:
- normal, italic, bold, bold italic order.
-
- Step 3) Use the Ventura VFMTOWID.EXE program and the LST file from step 2
- plus the VFM files to create a width table.
-
- VFMTOWID ESFSHARE.LST /N=CORDATA
-
- Where ESFSHARE.LST is the list file created in step 2,
- /N= the device switch for your printer (look up Operations - Set Printer
- Info menu in Ventura. The portion before the comma is all that
- matters.
-
- Step 4) Convert the HP format fonts to Ventura B30 format using the Ventura
- utility HPLTOFNT.
-
- HPLTOFNT TR120RPN.USP /F=Roman /N=5 /P=12 /W=N
-
- Step 5) Merge the width tables and clean up. Run Ventura and select Options -
- Add Remove Fonts - Merge Width Table. Then go back and delete the ".USP" fonts
- since they are not used by Ventura.
