#ProWrite and Deskjet
I have a new HP DeskJet500C, and am using ProWrite (3.2) for basic word
processing tasks. My problem is with the HP's internal fonts: I can't seem to
access them. My printer driver is the HP_DeskJet500 driver by Lance
Kibblewhite, DL'd from CIS. Using ProWrite's print menu, I can use either the
bitmap (or CG outline) fonts, or dump my text directly to the HP, using the
panel font (which I believe is Courier 12). I'd like to access the other
built-ins, like CGTimes (which looks really nice). Using the Amiga's "Times"
font, even CGTimes, the output is nowhere near as good. In addition, I can't
seem to find a font which is the same size as the HP's Courier12 panel font.
I've tried Pica and Elite (WB standard fonts), but they don't match; therefore
I can't even get true 'WYSIWYG'
To fix the latter problem would be a start…at least I would know what my
printouts are going to look like!
ProWrite's "Internal Font Number" selector has no effect on output, it just
uses the same font every time.
ANY help would be greatly apreciated…I bought this printer beacuse of the
great printouts (OK because of the price, too).
