#ANI-PRO Font Editor
5 messages in this thread
Hello everybody,
I am new to yhis forum, so this topic may have been discussed before.
Here in Slovenia we use some special characters, CZS with 'caron'
on top, so 7bit ASCII is of no use. Can anybody report how to
modify ANI-PRO fonts. So far we have adapted ACAD .SHX fonts,
LASERJET download fonts, VGA on-screen fonts etc.
And Windows 3.1 support TrueType fonts with characters we need.
Similiar problems have other Europeans (German, French, … ).
I believe there is some font editor, or at least some information about font
files structure that could help me.
Any advice would help.
Thanks, Jure
AniPro uses HP Laserjet compatible fonts, and version 1.3 adds the ability to
use postscript fonts as well. Your best bet would be to address questions
about the use of HP fonts to the Yost Group 76702,413. They wrote AniPro.

I believe you might find that AAPro 1.3 International version would do the
trick for you. I don't think that it's shipping, so this does not immediately
help, but I expect that AAPro 1.3 International will support 8 bit fonts.
I could find out for you if you have a particular concern. If you have a
particular character or 2 (or 3) that you would like me to see if AAPro 1.3
International can handle, describe it and I'll get the developers to try it!
Best,
Nik
Jure Spiler,
The standard ANI PRO 1.3 fonts include full ASCII character sets conforming to
English,Italian,Spanish,German, & French Extended ASCII codes. The standard 255
character ASCII is therefore directly supported. The postscript implementation
in Ani Pro does not support extended ASCII sets only Standard ASCII code (i.e.
– through character 126.). Since the program does not support extended ASCII in
Postscript mode, the postscript fonts only contain characters through #126. I
should know I designed all of the postscript fonts for the program by hand.
If you're attempting to utilize extended characters in the Show'em POCO
routine, then you have probably already discovered that that particular routine
doesn't currently support extended sets.
The fact that you've modified so many types of fonts leads me to believe that
your characters aren't supported in standard extended ASCII.
If you ever need specific font work done drop me a line.
My company has been producing fonts for over 8 years and by employing a large
number of typographers and calligraphers, we can custom produce type to meet
any need. Over 30% of our sales are to clients outside of the U.S. We are
currently in the process of bringing the ultimate font CD to market
specifically for Autodesk Customers (The CD's are at a manufacturing house
now). The CD contains over a thousand fonts in both Postscript and Bitmapped
format specifically for Ani Pro and 3D Studio. The CD covers all of the
standard font sets as well as a large number of unique ornate fonts
specifically for 3D work. Not to mention a number of pre-beveled, one of a kind
fonts for ornate beveling in Studio.
If you have any specific questions leave e-mail and I'd be glad to address
them.
