#Help – PageStream FONTS
2 messages in this thread
I have PageStream 2.1, and would like to try downloading some additional
fonts from CIS … I DID try one, but couldn't figure out WHAT to do with
the un-LZHed files … The file names didn't seem to correspond with the
type of file names that correspond with the PageStream fonts that come with
PageStream. Can someone suggest a particular font or font set that I can
download that INCLUDES INSTRUCTIONS for adding the fonts to my PageStream
disks? (Yep … I run from floppies! On an A-1000, 2MB) Thanks a bunch
for ANY help or suggestions. Also, is there a way to get a LISTING OF ALL
PAGESTREAM 2.1 COMPATIBLE FONT FILES AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOADING FROM CIS??
Thanks. John in Phoenix. 76327,444

You put the downloaded fonts wherever you like in the PSFONTS directory of
Pagestream. You can either create a directory for them, or just stick them
in one that is already there.
However, at this point in time, Pagestream will not know that they exist.
So, you have to call up the font manager (which can be done by selecting
the GLOBAL/SET-SAVE-PATHS menu, and it is in the bottom right).
The rest is extremely simple and is described very simply (and very well)
on page 8.5+ in the manual.
Note that it doesn't matter what the name of the font files are … the
manager actually examines the font contents and gets the font name from
within the file.
