Preface
THE Artline® Release Note 03 describes the following:

o
o

SYF2GEM. This program converts GEM® ArtlineTM
(Version 1.0) symbol files to the Artline, Version 2.0,
GEM format.
BLDAF4. The release note describes how you create
Artline font files from files created with non-Digital Research® versions of Bitstream® Fontware TM.

o HiJaak™ for Digital Research. This utility converts
files created with other popular graphics applications
to the Artline, Version 2.0, GEM format. In addition,
you can convert files between several vector and raster
file formats, including CGM, WMF, EPS, TIFF, and
PCX. You can also convert Artline files for raster fax
card transmission.

o

Additional information about the Artline program, as
well as additions and corrections to the manuals.

NOTE: Throughout this release note, the symbol .J represents the
Return (or Enter) key or means "Press the Return (or Enter)
key."

v

Symbol File Conversion
files, a feature of GEM Artline (Version 1.0) made it
SYMBOL
possible for you to collect pictures and use them repeatedly in
other files. In Artline, Version 2.0, the need for symbol files has
been replaced by the ability to merge files, compatibility with many
additional file formats, and an extensive clip art gallery.
The SYF2GEM symbol file conversion program is provided so that GEM Artline users can convert their symbol
files (with extension SYF) to GEM files that can be
opened or merged in Artline, Version 2.0.

Using SYF2GEM
SYF2GEM is a graphics-based application that uses the
same system software that Artline uses. Because you run
the program with the Artline ToApp command, you must
already be in Artline before you can start SYF2GEM.

To start SYF2GEM,

[I]

Display the Artline File menu and choose the To App
command. (The To App command is described in detail in Chapter 3 of the Artline User Reference Guide.)

[]] In the Run Application dialog, click on the Run button to display the Item Selector.

1-1

Using SYF2GEM

I1J

In the Item Selector, set the directory path to the directory in which SYF2GEM is located (the default is
\ARTLINE\CONVERT) and then double-click on
SYF2GEM.APP.

[]] In the Run Application dialog, make your selection in
the Parameters box according to the guidelines on the
next two pages.
SYF2GEM's Application Type is GEM and is automatically set. Choices among the Options (Auto-Save
Current Picture and Return to Artline) are a matter
of personal preference.
The illustration below shows how the Run Application dialog might appear when you have made all
your selections.

Artline Release Note 03

Using SYF2GEM

Parameters
SYF2GEM can accept two of the Run Application dialog's
parameters: Request and None.
Request

If you choose the Request parameter, the Command Line
dialog appears when you exit the Run Application dialog.
(The Command Line dialog is also described in the Artline
User Reference Guide). Enter the full path and filename
for the file you want to convert. For example, you might
enter this in the dialog:
(olllllland Line

Enter the tUlIlliland line fur SYF2GEM,APP
IC:\6EMAPPS\ARTWORK\SYMBOLS\L060S, SYA__

I OK I I Caned I

Note the following about symbol files converted with the
Request parameter:
o You can convert only one symbol file at a time in this
manner. When the file named in the Command Line
dialog has been converted, you return to Artline or to
the operating system command line (depending on
whether you chose the Return to Artline option).

o

The name and location of the GEM file created by
SYF2GEM is predetermined. The file's name is the
same as that of the SYF file that was converted, and
the file's location is the same directory as the SYF
file's. For example, the command line string shown
above would produce a file called LOGOS. GEM in
C:\GEMAPPS\ARTWORK\SYMBOLS.
You can rename and move the converted file after you
run SYF2GEM, but not as part of the conversion process itself.

Symbol File Conversion

1-3

Using SYF2GEM
None
The None parameter differs from the Request parameter
in two important respects:
D You can convert more than one symbol file.
D You can specify the converted file's name and location.

To convert symbol files with the None parameter,

[!]

When you exit the Run Application dialog, the first
Item Selector ofSYF2GEM (labeled "Symbol-File to
convert") appears.

[]] Change the path in the Item Selector to your symbol
file directory, and double-click on the name of the
first file you want to convert.
[]] The second SYF2GEM Item Selector (labeled "GEMFile to create") appears.

[1] Note that the Item Selector automatically supplies a
GEM filename that matches the SYF file's name.
This GEM file will be created in the directory in
which SYF2GEM is located. You have two options at
this point:
- You can accept the default name and path. To do
so, exit the Item Selector by clicking on OK or
pressing .J.
- You can save the converted file to the directory of
your choice and with the filename of your choice.
To do so, change the path in the Item Selector, supply a new name, and then exit the Item Selector by
clicking on OK or pressing.J.

I}]

The "Symbol-File to convert" Item Selector appears
again. You have two options:
- You can choose another symbol file to convert, in
which case the cycle repeats itself.
- You can quit SYF2GEM by clicking on the Item
Selector's Cancel button or by pressing Esc.

Artline Release Note 03

Quiffing SYF2GEM

Quitting SYF2GEM
You can quit SYF2GEM any time the Item Selector is displayed by clicking on the Item Selector's Cancel button or
by pressing Esc.

Converted Symbol Files
The individual symbols in the original SYF file are arranged in a single layer in the new GEM file. (The example below shows the converted symbol file JOBSl.SYF.)
Each symbol is enclosed within a single selection frame,
either as a group or as a merged element.

Converted Symbol Files

To use a converted symbol file,

[I]

Open the file into which you want to insert symbols.

(]] Merge the converted symbol file into the current file
(Merge File command).
[]] Activate the symbol layer, select a symbol you want,
and Cut or Copy it to the paste buffer.

[!]

Activate the layer in which you want the symbol, and
Paste the symbol onto the drawing surface.

[]] For additional symbols, repeat steps 3 and 4.
~ When you have inserted all the symbols you want,
use the Layer Manager to remove the layer that contains the unwanted symbol.

Artline Release Note 03

BLDAF4 Font File
Conversion

HIS chapter describes how you create Artline font files with
T
non-Digital Research versions of Bitstream. Fontware-for
example, the version of Fontware that accompanies Xerox® Ventura
Publisher®.
In general, BLDAF4 uses three things:

o a source font file (extension PFA)
o a kerning information file (extension AFM)
o font information-font ID and weight
NOTE: The AFM file is not required, but you will not be able to
crea te kerned text without it.
Digital Research versions of Fontware automatically generate a PFAfile, an AFM (for Adobe® Font Metric) file,
and a PFI file that contains the necessary font information. The Artline Utilities Guide describes how you create
Artline fonts from Digital Research versions of Fontware.
To create Artline fonts from non-Digital Research versions of Fontware, you must create the PFA and AFM
files and then pass the font information as parameters to
BLDAF4.

2-1

Generating Fonts with BLDAF4

Generating Fonts with BLDAF4
The BLDAF4 process consists of three major steps:
[]] creating the source files
[]] finding font information

[ill

running BLDAF4

Creating the Source Files
Fontware creates the following source files that BLDAF4
uses for each font you are generating:

o

A PFA file that contains the character set description.
The PFA file is required.

o

An AFM file that contains the information required for
kerning text characters.

To create the AFM and PFA files,
IT] Change directories to \FONTWARE.
[]] Start Fontware by typing BITS 1 (note the space) and
pressing .J.

[ill

Select the typefaces you want and tell Fontware to
make PostScript printer fonts.
Fontware terminates very quickly, but a new file
called FWARE.JOB has been created. In addition,
this process creates a \PSFONTS directory (if one
does not already exist) in the root directory of drive C
(C:\PSFONTS).

[]] With \FONTWARE as the current directory, type the
following command:
CVTPSO FWARE.JOB .J

This command creates PSO files in C: \PSFONTS for
each of your font files. These files are needed for creating the AFM and PFA files.

2-2

Artline Release Note 03

Generating Fonts with BLDAF4
[]] With \FONTWARE as the current directory, type the
following command:
GENAFM01 FWARE.JOB.J

This command creates the AFM files in the directory
C: \PSFONTS. The directory now contains a PSO file
and an AFM file for each of your selected typefaces.
[]] Change to the \PSFONTS directory and use the operating system RENAME command to change the extension of the PSO files to PFA.
RENAME *.PSO *.PFA .J

The \PSFONTS directory now contains a PFAfile and an
AFM file for each font you want to make. Copy these files
to the directory that contains BLDAF4.
Copying the Source Files

The following example assumes that \PSFONTS is the
current directory. The drive identifier ([d:]) is required
only if BLDAF4 is on a drive other than the drive on
which \PSFONTS is located.
COpy *.PFA [d:]\ARTLlNE\CONVERT.J
COpy *.AFM [d:]\ARTLlNE\CONVERT.J

After you have copied the files to \ARTLlNE\CONVERT,
you can delete them from \PSFONTS.

BLDAF4 Font File Conversion

2-3

Generating Fonts with BLDAF4

Finding Font Information
Each font has an identifying number (font ID) and a
weight value (for Roman, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic)
that must be passed as parameters to BLDAF4.

To determine the font ID and weight,

IT]

Change directories to \FONTWARE.

[]] Type the file FWARE.JOB to the screen (if possible,
one page at a time), or use a text editor to read the
file. Look for lines that begin "vp=", like the following:
vp=/F=ITC Galliard/N=321W=N

The N value is the font ID (in this case, 32 for ITC
Galliard®) and the W value is the weight.
[]] Find and note the font ID and weight for each font.
NOTE: You do not have to use the font ID and weight given in
FWARE.JOB, but it is recommended that you do. If you do
not, you run the risk of creating files with duplicate IDs, as
described on page 1-9 of the Artline Utilities Guide.
Font Weights

FWARE.JOB and BLDAF4 use different codes to represent the four possible font weights. The following table
lists the FWARE.JOB codes and the corresponding
BLDAF4 codes. You must use the BLDAF4 codes when
generating fonts.

Artline Release Note 03

Generating Fonts with BLDAF4

Running BLDAF4
Having created the PFA and AFM files and having gathered the font IDs and weights, you can now generate the
Artline font files.
In addition to the source and destination filenames,
BLDAF4 accepts two parameters:
o The IN parameter is for the font ID.
o The!W parameter is for the font's weight.

To generate fonts with BLDAF4,
[}] Change directories to \ARTLINE\CONVERT.
[]] To generate a font file, type a command line in the
following form:
BLDAF4 CUPQ

GALLIARD IN=32 !W=O

In this example, BLDAF4 generates an Artline font
file called GALLIARD.AF4 from the Bitstream Galliard file CUPQ.PFA. The font has a font ID of 32
(ITC Galliard) and a weight of zero (Roman).
[]] Repeat the previous step for each additional font, supplying new source and destination filenames, font
IDs, and weight codes each time.
When you have finished running BLDAF4, copy the new
.AF4 files to \ARTLINE\FONTS, start Artline, and add
them to the font list using the Font Manager (see Chapter
9 of the Artline User Reference Guide).
If the PFA and AFM files are no longer needed, delete
them or copy them to a floppy disk and then delete them
from your hard disk.

HiJaak
File Conversion Utility
IJAAK for Digital Research is a utility that converts files
created by other applications to a file format that you can open
or merge in Artline. You can also use HiJaak to convert Artline files
to formats that can be used with other applications, or for raster fax
card transmission.

H

This chapter contains information about the following:

o
o
o

basic background on HiJaak and file conversion;
how to start and use HiJaak;
the HiJaak menus and commands.
If you selected the default destination directory during
the Artline Setup program, HiJaak was installed in the
\ARTLINE\CONVERT directory. Otherwise, HiJaak
was installed in the destination directory you specified
during Setup.

3-1

File Format Types

File Format Types
The two basic file formats you can convert are shown in
the table below.

o

'Vector format stores mathematical descriptions of the
lines and curves that make up the shapes and characters in the file.
PostScript® is a vector format that uses the PostScript
page description language.

o

Raster (also known as bit image or bit-mapped) format
stores the shapes and characters in the file as patterns
of dots.

Artline Release Note 03

Destination File Types

Destination File Types
Several of the destination file formats are associated with
popular software applications. HiJaak refers to a file format as having the "flavor" of a particular application. For
example, you could convert your Artline file to the WordPerfect flavor of the CGM format. When converting a file
for use with a particular software application, select that
application in the destination options dialog or, if the application is not listed, select a compatible application.

HiJaak Interface

HiJaak Interface
Much like the Artline interface, the HiJaak interface consists of menus and dialogs. You choose commands from
the menus, and you choose file names and set options in
the dialogs.
You can work with either a mouse or the keyboard when
in HiJaak.

Using a Mouse
If you do not have a
mouse driver loaded,
HiJaak displays a
dialog to that effect at
startup. Simply exit the
dialog and use the keyboard.

To use a mouse with HiJaak, you must load a Microsoft®compatible mouse driver file like MOUSE.COM or
MOUSE.SYS.
Using a mouse in HiJaak is similar to using a mouse in
Artline.

o To choose a command, first click on the menu name to
o

display the menu, then click on the command name.
To select a file from a list box, double-click on its
filename.

o To choose an option, click on it.
o To exit a dialog, click on an exit button or the close box
in the upper left corner. Clicking on the close box is
the equivalent of clicking on the dialog's Cancel button.

o

To scroll a list box, click on the arrows, drag the slider,
or click in the gray scroll bar on either side of the slider.

Using the Keyboard
You can use the keyboard to display menus, make selections in dialogs, access HiJaak's Help, and so on.
HiJaak divides its dialogs into what it refers to as areas
offocus. Each area of focus is identified by a title containing one letter in a contrasting color. For example, in the
SELECT FILE TO BE CONVERTED dialog, one area of
focus is called "Type," with a white "T."

3-6

Artline Release Note 03

HiJaak Interface
These are the keyboard techniques you use in HiJaak:
o To move to a specific area of focus, press the Alt key as
you type the area's highlighted letter. For example, to
switch to the Type area, type Alt-T.

o To move from one area of focus to the next, press the
Tab key. To move to the previous area of focus, press
Shift-Tab.

o To select items from a list box, follow these steps:
-1 Move the highlight to the list box from which you

want to select.
-2 Move the highlight bar in the list box by pressing
the up-arrow or down-arrow key or, for larger
jumps, the PgUp or PgDn key.
-3 Select a highlighted type from the Type box by
pressing.J. Select a highlighted filename by
pressing Alt-S.

o To change directories, do either of the following:
- Type a full pathname into the text field in the center of the dialog, and press .J.
- Move the highlight bar in the file list box to a directory name (indicated by square brackets-[PIX], for
