Message #13419
I got the disk you sent me with the Helvetica Narrow screen fonts. Unfortunately, you apparently sent me a Macintosh disk when what I need is the PC (Windows) screen fonts (.FON file). If you have a .FON file (and .PFM file) for the Helv Narrow font, please send me…
The file ADOBE.DIR in download lib #1 will give you a list of everything in all the DLs of this forum.
#IBM AFM files
Message #13408
I am still looking for IBM AFM files for Palatino, New Century, Bookman, Zapf and Avant Garde… the F-AFM.IBM file says they are available, but I can't find them here. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks.
Certainly what you've written about screen fonts confirms much of what I've read on CIS. Has anyone documented WHY screen fonts get messed up in PM?
#screen font display
Message #13367
The PM "Preferences" menu may not help all that much. Having gone through many screen drivers (the screen driver change requires reinstalling Windows; if you have hard disk space, try installing two versions, and comparing them for a few days) and printer drivers (average cost to find one major bug:…
Go to EDIT:PREFERENCES in PC PageMaker, not the Control Panel. Also try asking on ALDUS or MSAPP forums.
I recently spoke with Nelson from Adobe systems and he indicated that the screen fonts display is controlled by my application (PC pagemaker). that is, the dislay of the chosen typeface in point sizes in between the loaded , standard, bit-mapped PageMaker defaults to helvetica & times roman when displaying…
If your application has the feature, try setting the "stretch above" or "raster above" to a higher number.
#Screen font display
Message #13162
Steve and Denise – I have to apologize for not responding to your message sooner, unfortunately my modem was on the blink. In the meantime I have spoken to one of the technical support specialists here at Adobe and I understand he is researching your problem. Let "us" know what…
OS/2 screen fonts
Message #13161
Tom – A couple of the technical support folks here have been doing some testing with OS/2. We don't currently have a font product for OS/2 applications, but they were successful using PCSEND to send a printer font via the DOS shell in OS/2. They suggested you might try running…
#Screen font display
Message #13152
Well… as with most other sigs on CI$, we expected the sysop(s) to (eventually) read the message. I've not been here before, though have been a regular for over four years on CI$ and on the various IBM and HP sigs, (notice the 76703 PPN). A new developement (for lurkers)…
Don't know where you can get that font. If you're interested in creating it, there's Fontographer for the MAC and Publishers Type Foundry for the PC (runs under Windows). I've used PTF. The doc is lousy, but I think the package is OK, but it takes some time to get…
SCREEN FONTS
Message #3531
Hello. My name is Bill Willoughby. I am a new member of the Adobe Forum, a new owner of a PostScript printer (NEC LC890), and a new desktop publisher (Ventura 1.1). I just downloaded the fonts for the typefaces that come standard with the LC890, and installed them in Ventura…

screen fonts
Message #3517
Sorry about not responding to your question earlier. I do not remember receiving it. I will check back again. What sizes are these large sized fonts that you got from Apple? I was not aware of changes to the fonts that were being distributed. It has always been possible if…
file format
Message #3514
Message 3394 was signed by Steve Ting, so I assume he wrote the message using Ken Larsen's account. Thank you for your suggestion about downloading UNSTUF.ARC from IBMCOM – DL2 for the PC or MACARC.BIN from the Borland programmer forum (BOR100). If you have copies of these files available can…

Message #3513
Rich, There have been many messages back and forth between Richard Rose and myself and several other forum members. I do not want to rehash the discussions, but I would like to comment on your statement, "Other forums neatly catagorize the type of files available in each data library, so…

Message #3511
does anyone know i can get the "eras" typeface for a postscript laser printer its a stylized helvetica-ish typeface. otherwise, is there any recommendation for a typeface editor that would let me create such a typeface? tanks.
PSCRIPT.DRV
Message #3510
I just downloaded WIN-GN.ARC, un-ARCed it, and looked at PSCRIPT.DRV. The date on the driver in WIN-GN.ARC is 3-11-87, but I have a later driver — dated 5-21-87. The later driver came with PageMaker 1.0a. It's almost a year old… is there a later driver yet? Thanks…
I never even thought of this problem. We have a few Scriptprinters around, and I'll try a few things out. If I get anywhere, I'll let you know. My first thought was to change the password to 0, but it would be the string 0, not an integer, but then…
windows386 files?
Message #3504
I am pleased to find your forum. I attempted a message on this question earlier when the use of the system was new to me and am sure it was garbled. As a new user we loaded all of the files needed for the acquisition of screen fonts from the…
downloading PC fonts
Message #3499
John, I am sorry for the delay in responding to your message. I only read the easy plexes on the 76701,26 id. The font files that you referred to are fine; I have downloaded them. What baud rate are you using? I recommend 1200 baud for consistency. I have attempted…

Here is a message that was left as an easy plex for me. I prefer to receive this type of message on the forum so that others can benefit from the response as well. I…download files from DL-7. I managed to get: IBMSCR.DOC PCNAME.DOC WIN-GN.ARC PO-WIN.ARC ZP-WIN.ARC but: AG-WIN.ARC BK-WIN.ARC…
#PSDOWN.EXE Downloader
Message #3497
I have been trying to use PSDOWN to down load fonts to a Digital LN03R ScriptPrinter. When PSDOWN asks for the printer password, it seems to only except numeric input (it only echos numbers). The LN03R's password is "LN03R" hence I can't seem to get the program to work with…

What, no SYMBOL???
Message #3489
George, As you might have guessed you are not the first person to request the Symbol font for the PC. We are still in the process of testing it and the other ROM based fonts. In the process of font production the released Macintosh downloadable fonts received priority for porting…

Downloading fonts
Message #3470
I am using a AT clone with a QMS 810 printer attached via the parallel line. I have been trying to get use PageMaker's download but it does not work, and the one that came with the system uses only the serial port. PageMaker says they know about the problem…

EtherTalk/Mac OS
Message #3465
Jerald, According to the press, Apple did buy non-exclusive rights to QuickerDraw (or QuickerGraf) and it will be included in the new System release (which was originally scheduled for March). QuickerGraf is useless, though, in any mode other than 8 bit per pixel mode on a Mac II. I'm convinced…
Screen Fonts
Message #3454
Now that I have the screen fonts I need I realized that my system An AT with Intel Inboard 386 running windows 386 may well either not work with the fonts or they may need to be newfonted by the 386 program which converts old screen screen fonts to the…
