Introduction

The Font Print  program will  print font books of all installed fonts on your computer.  You can choose the fonts size, fonts to print, whether you want the full ANSI set and if you want each font sample on a separate page.  You can optionally specify the characters which should be printed for each font sample.

By giving you the ability to quickly and easily print samples of all your fonts, you can look at actual printed samples when making those tough font choice decisions.  You can also use a Pride Software Works! companion product, Font Off, to off-load fonts to another media (Floppy, CD Optical, etc.) which frees up Windows resources and valuable hard drive space.

Selecting Fonts

The font list is an extended selection list.  To make a single selection simple click on the font.  To select multiple items you can use Ctrl-Click on each font.  To select fonts next to each other use  Shift-Click or Drag.  You may want to experiment with these features.


Additional Information

Printing fonts take a great deal of system resources.  We recommend that you print only 20-30 fonts at a time.  Depending on your printer, you may need to reduce this count to avoid running out of memory.

You should also disable Print Manager for the target printer before printing fonts.  The printout output file which must be stored on your hard drive when using Print Manager can cause you to run out of disk space.

If you are using a program to manage your fonts please remember that you may need to restart windows after installing fonts.

If you experience problems with the system printing the wrong font (or repeatedly printing the same font ) you have a problem with your fonts as Windows see them.  This may be because the FOT file has not been created or Windows can't find it.

No page numbers are added to the font listing.  This allows you to easily insert new fonts into your list (especially if you only printed one font sample per page.)

Only fonts which are supported by the currently selected printer are displayed in the list.  If your TrueType fonts do not appear please make sure you have enabled the TrueType fonts in the Control Panel.

If you receive error messages when starting Font Print or when printing fonts, you may have a problem with the installed fonts, Windows, or your printer driver.  If Font Print detects more than 30 such errors during a process, the process will end or Font Print will terminate.

Update History

Version 1.0 Released 5/93

Version 1.1 Released 6/27/93

Version 1.5 Released 8/2/93

Font Print now saves the current defaults when you exit.  They are restored the next time you restart the program.  Defaults include the font size, Full Ansi, Form Feed and Single Line.  The defaults are stored in WIN.INI section [FONTPRNT].

Version 1.7 Released 10/24/93

Added ability to print fonts with the styles: Normal, Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strikethru.

You can now supply your own sample text which will be used to print each font.

Version 2.0 Released 12/18/93

Defaults for Font Print (font size, type, sample text, etc.) are now stored in the FONTPRNT.INI file which is stored in the same directory as Font Print.  If you are updating from a previous version, the [FONTPRNT] section in WIN.INI is no longer needed and can be removed.

The Help icon used to access the Font Print help has been moved from the About window to the main Font Print window.

The sample text entry box is now larger.  Auto word wrap is enabled and scroll bars are present.  You can not, however, enter a carriage return into the box.  Font Print will provide its own character wrapping when the sample text if printed.

Better error checking is provided.  You will be alerted to all errors.  If you receive more than 30 errors in a single process the program will abort the process or terminate.  Detailed error information is provided in the error message.  Please contact Pride Software Works! if you have error(s) which you can not fix.  We will need the entire text of the error message.

Improved the help text (including references to another Pride Software Works! product, Font Off.)


Printing Fonts

Start the program.

Select fonts from the list that you want to print.  Note: Only True Type and print fonts appear in the list.  Please see details below for selecting multiple fonts.

Select the font size you want for your samples.

Check Normal if you want a sample of the font printed without any special styles.

Check Bold if you want a sample of the font printed in bold.

Check Italic if you want a sample of the font printed in italic.

Check Underline if you want a sample of the font printed with an underline.

Check Strikethru if you want a sample of the font printed with strikethru.

Check Form Feed if you want each font on a separate page.

Check  Full ANSI if you want the complete ANSI characters (32-255), other wise only characters 33-127 will be printed.

Check Single Line if you want the sample font text to take up no more than one line.  This can reduce the number of pages in your font book.

Optionally enter a string of characters which will be used to print the sample of each font.  If left blank, a sequential string of ASCII characters will be printed.

Click on the Print Sample button to print samples of the fonts selected.


Font Off

The Font Off program helps you maintain your Windows TrueType fonts.  If you are like a lot of people you have accumulated several hundred TrueType fonts.  "I never know when I am going to need them".  They are taking up a lot of valuable hard drive space and slowing down Windows.  You may be using one of the common font manager programs to remove the font from Windows (so Windows is not so slow).  Although these programs remove the font from Windows they leave the font's file(s) in the hard drive - still taking up space but not being useful.

Font Off works differently.  In addition to removing the font from Windows, Font Off removes the font from your Windows System directory and stores it in another directory.  Since this directory can be on any DOS drive media, you can move the fonts to another hard drive (or network drive), floppies, or other removable media.  When you  need the font you simply reverse the process and reinstall it to Windows.

Font Off will not install new fonts to windows, it only maintains your existing fonts.  You must therefore use the font installer that often comes with new fonts, or use the Windows Font Manager to install new fonts.  Once the font is installed in Windows you can use Font Off to move it off line until it is needed.

Font Off is probably available from the same source as Font Print.  It can also be downloaded form CompuServe.  Once logged into CIS, GO IBMFF, and search for files from contributor 73337,2472.
