Preface

THE

Artline® Release Note

03

describes

the

following:

o SYF2GEM. This program converts

GEM®

ArtlineTM

(Version 1.0) symbol files to

the

Artline, Version 2.0,

GEM format.

o BLDAF4.

The

release note describes how you create

Artline font files from files created

with

non-Digital Re-

search® 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

SYMBOL files, a feature

of

GEM Artline (Version 1.0)

made

it

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

pro-

vided 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

de-

tail

in

Chapter

3

of

the

Artline User Reference Guide.)

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

T

HIS

chapter

describes how you create Artline font files

with

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

without

it.

Digital Research versions

of

Fontware

automatically gen-

erate

a PFAfile,

an

AFM (for

Adobe®

Font

Metric) file,

and

a

PFI

file

that

contains

the

necessary font informa-

tion. The

Artline Utilities Guide describes how you create

Artline fonts from Digital Research versions

of

Fontware.

To

create Artline fonts from non-Digital Research ver-

sions

of

Fontware, you

must

create

the

PFA

and

AFM

files

and

then

pass

the

font information

as

parameters

to

BLDAF4.

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 cre-

ating

the

AFM

and

PFA files.

Generating

[]]

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

oper-

ating

system

RENAME

command

to

change

the

ex-

tension

of

the

PSO files to PFA.

RENAME * .PSO * .PFA

The

\PSFONTS

directory now contains a PFAfile

and

an

AFM file for each font you

want

to make. Copy

these

files

to

the

that

contains BLDAF4.

Copying

The following example assumes

that

\PSFONTS

is

the

current

directory.

The

drive identifier ([d:])

Finding Font Information

Each

and

a

weight

value

(for Roman, Bold, Italic,

and

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

repre-

sent

the

four possible font weights.

The

following

table

lists

the

FWARE.JOB codes

and

the

corresponding

BLDAF4 codes. You

use

the

BLDAF4 codes

when

generating

fonts.

Generating

Fonts with

BLDAF4

Running

BLDAF4

Having created

the

PFA

and

AFM files

and

having gath-

ered

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

Gal-

liard

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, sup-

plying 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.

You

can also

use

HiJaak

to convert Artline files

to formats

that

can be

used

with

other

applications,

or

for

raster

transmission.

This

chapter

about

the

following:

o basic background on

HiJaak

and

file conversion;

o how to

start

and

use

HiJaak;

o

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

popular software applications.

HiJ

aak

refers to a file for-

"flavor"

of

a

particular

application.

For

example, you could convert your Artline file to

the

for

use

with

a

particular

software application, select

if

the

HiJaak

Interface

HiJaak Interface

Much like

the

Artline interface,

the

HiJaak

interface con-

sists

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 key-

board.

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

display

the

menu,

then

click on

the

command name.

o

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

3-6

You

can

use

the

keyboard to display menus,

make

selec-

tions

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 contain-

ing

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."

Using

HiJaak,

you can convert your Artline GEM files (or

files

in

other

source formats) to

EPS

(encapsulated PostS-

cript) formats

that

can

be opened

in

Adobe Illustrator,

loaded

into

frames

in

Ventura Publisher,

or

copied to a

PostScript printer.

One

reason

for such a conversion

is

to

create

Illustrator-

compatible clip art from your Artline files.

NOTE:

Because

the

EPSF

PostScript option

in

Artline produces

files

that

can

be loaded

into

frames

in

Ventura,

the

principal

reason

for

using

HiJaak

to

convert GEM files to Ventura-

compatible

EPS

be

to convert a large

number

of

at

one time.

The

steps

required for converting to

files containing GEM graphics on PostS-

cript

or

non-PostScript printers. However, you

must

first

run

the

VPSETUP program described

in

Appendix

C of

the

Artline Installation guide to replace

the

Ven-

tura

system software

with

the

Artline, Version 2.0,

system software.

Unsupported Systems

Xerox

Ventura

can

run

under

many

system con-

figurations, some

of

which

are

not

currently

supported

by

Artline, Version 2.0.

If

the

screen you

are

using

with

menu,

your configura-

tion

is

not

supported.

Color

Files

The

\ARTLINE\COLORS directory includes a special file

called RGB.COL, which

merits

some explanation.

RGB.COL is

intended

to be displayed

with

the

Fountain

tool

in

its

palette display mode. The purpose ofRGB.COL

is

to show

that

solid colors

and

fountains

can

be

displayed

in

the

same

palette.

Each

"solid" color

is

actually a foun-

tain

of

a given color to itself.

The solid colors

are

accessible

both

from

the

Fill Color

tool (as

true

solid colors)

and

from

the

Fountain

tool.

Note, however,

that

the

fill colors

are

named

differently

from

the

fountain colors.

For

example,

the

solid color

counterpart

of

"Fill # 15"

is

called ''Red60 Green40

Blue20," where

the

numbers

indicate

the

percentages of

the

component colors.

You

might

want

to

use

the

Color

Manager

to

rename

the

fountain color to a

name

similar

to

the

solid

color-for

example, "R60 G40 B20."

Everex

Memory

Boards

Two

problems associated with Everex memory boards

have

been

identified:

a failure to create

an

ARTLINE.INI file

a general expanded memory problems

ARTLlNE.INI

The first time you

start

Artline

after

you

run

Setup,

an

initialization file called ARTLINE.INI

is

created,

as

indi-

cated by a box

that

appears on

the

screen saying "Initializ-

ing

fonts."

From

then

on,

the

file is automatically

updated

and

saved each time you

quit

Artline.

If

you have

an

Everex memory board, Artline

might

not

create ARTLINE.INI

at

initial

startup.

If

you see

the

"Ini-

tializing fonts" box each time you

start

Artline, you will

know

that

is

the

case. (Inability to create ARTLINE.INI

means, among

other

things,

that

you cannot save your

preferences. )

To

make

Artline create

and

save ARTLINE.INI, you

must

first create a "dummy" ARTLINE.INI before you

Artline. Follow these steps:

[}]

From

the

command line, create a small file

in

the

\ARTLINE directory

and

call

it

ARTLINE.INI. (The

contents

of

the

file

are

immaterial;

they

will be over-

written.)

You

can create

the

file

in

either

of

the

fol-

lowing ways:

-Use

the

COpy

command to copy

an

existing file to

ARTLINE.INI.

.....

Use

the

COpy

CON

command

or

a

text

editor to

create a file containing

as

little

as

a single charac-

ter.

The

COpy

and

COpy

CON

commands

are

de-

scribed

in

your operating system manual.

[]]

Start

Artline.

Artline Release

Note

03

General

Information

[]]

As

it

loads, Artline encounters

the

dummy

version

of

ARTLINE.INI

and

displays

an

alert

saying ''Wrong

version

of

ARTLINE.INI." Click

on

the

alert's OK

button

or

press

..1.

When

you

exit

the

alert, Artline initializes

the

fonts one

more time

and

then

creates a

true

ARTLINE.lNI file.

From

then

on, Artline will

update

and

save ARTLINE.INI

each time you quit.

Expanded Memory Problems

Difficulties

in

properly

using

expanded

memory

can

cause

a

number

of

Artline's tools

and

other

features to work in-

correctly.

Th

solve

this

problem,

add

a

/0

switch (the let-

ter

0,

not

a zero) to

the

Everex DEVICE line

in

your

CONFIG.SYS file.

The

following

is

an

example

of

a line

from a typical CONFIG.SYS:

Because Artline

Choose

the

that

Note

the

following about

the

two options:

o Bitmapped fonts have two

advantages-the

files

tend

to be

smaller

than

the

softfont files,

and

you

can

com-

bine

portrait

and

landscape fonts on

the

same

page.

The

main

disadvantage to hitmapped fonts

is

that

they

usually

print

more slowly

than

softfonts.

o Softfonts

print

faster

than

bitmaps,

but

they

have

a

larger

file size,

and

you

cannot

combine

portrait

and

landscape on

the

same
