Foreword
The GEM® Desktop Publisher TIl Font Merge Utility makes the fonts you
create with Fontware Tli or purchase from third-party developers available for use with GEM Desktop Publisher.
GEM Desktop Publisher requires font width information for printer fonts
in the form of a width table. Once your new fonts are in place on your
system, you run Font Merge and select the fonts you want to use in GEM
Desktop Publisher. Font Merge generates the width table for you and
supplies it to GEM Desktop Publisher.
About this Guide
Section 1 provides an overview of the entire font installation process and
explains Font Merge's role in this process. It also explains important
printer font information and requirements. If you are installing fonts
purchased from other developers, see "Installing Third-Party Fonts."
Section 2 presents the steps for creating a new Font Merge width table to
make new Fontware fonts available in GEM Desktop Publisher.
Section 3 explains how to make changes to existing width tables so that
you can use different fonts. "Adding Fonts from the FONTS Folder"
explains how to add third-party fonts to a width table.
Appendix A contains keys for interpreting the typeface codes and device
codes in Fontware-generated font fIles.
Assumptions We Make
This guide assumes that you have already installed the GEM®/3 system,
GEM Desktop Publisher, and Fontware. Font Merge is installed automatically when you install GEM Desktop Publisher. It is located in the
GEMAPPS folder (or directory, in DOS terminology) of your hard disk.
This guide also assumes that you are familiar with the basic concepts behind the GEM Desktop, as well as the mouse techniques used in GEM applications. These are explained in the GEM/3 Desktop User's Guide.
Font Merge
Foreword
Terms We Use
The term "font" refers to a file containing a set of characters designed according to a specific typeface for a specific model of printer or display
device. Each font has a typeface design, such as Swiss Italic, and a set of
characters, such as GEM International. Font Merge deals with your
printer fonts only.
"Typeface" refers to the design (Swiss) and typestyle (Bold, Italic, and so
forth) of a font.
"Folder" is the GEM equivalent of the DOS term for the operating system
directory.
"Third-paw developers" are companies other than Digital Research®and
Bitstream , Inc. who manufacture and sell digital fonts for use with
desktop publishing software.
Examples
Examples in this guide assume that your computer has one hard disk
drive designated as drive C and one floppy disk drive (drive A).
When you see the symbol ..j, it means press the Return or Enter key.
Font Merge commands appear in boldface. Some commands, when displayed on the Font Merge main menu, are followed by three dots. The
dots indicate that a dialog appears when you choose the command. Font
Merge uses dialogs to provide or request further information about the
command you selected.
Keep in mind that unless the three dots follow a command name, when
you choose the command, it is performed without confirmation. You can
cancel the c-ommand only by abandoning the Font Merge session. In this
case, any other changes you made are lost.

Section 1
Overview
Running Font Merge is the last step in installing new fonts for use
with GEM Desktop Publisher. This application uses a printer font
width table for printing documents. This table is actually a file named
WfABLES.WID. It tells GEM Desktop Publisher which fonts are available
for use and contains character width information for each character in
each font entry. You use Font Merge to add and remove font entries
from WfABLES.WID.
This section starts with an overview of the entire font installation
process, which includes running Font Merge. The second part explains
important printer font considerations and requirements. The section
ends with a review of installing third-party fonts.
Font Installation Overview
The following is a step-by-step overview of the process of creating fonts
and integrating them with GEM Desktop Publisher documents.
1. Run Fontware and
generate fonts, or copy
third-party fonts onto your
hard disk.
Fontware stores the new
fonts in the FONTS folder
within GEMAPPS.
2. Start the GEM Desktop and
run Font Merge.

Font Merge
Font Installation Overview
A Closer Look at the Installation Steps
Here are the installation steps explained in greater detail:
Step 1: Run Fontware and generate fonts, or copy third-party fonts onto
your system.
Following the instructions in your Fontware Installation Guide, set
up Fontware and generate the fonts you intend to use. Fontware
stores these fonts in the FONTS folder on your hard disk.
Installing third-party fonts is explained later in this section.
Step 2: Start the GEM Desktop and run Font Merge.
You run Font Merge from the GEM Desktop. Double-click on the
FNTMERGE.APP icon in the GEMAPPS window.
Step 3: Create a width table in Font Merge.
GEM Desktop Publisher allows a maximum of eight fonts to be
used at a time. Therefore, each width table you create can contain up to eight font entries. You can create as many width
tables as you need for use with documents requiring different
fonts.
Note: You need add only the Roman typestyle of a font to the
width table. The other typestyles (Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic)
will be available in GEM Desktop Publisher as long as they've
been generated in Fontware.
1-3
What Is Actually Going On
Font Merge
Step 4: Save the width table in folders containing associated documents.
This is an optional step, but one that you should follow if you
create many different width tables. As a matter of good file
management practice, copy each width table into the folder or
onto the floppy disk you intend to use for your documents. This
places the width table in the same folder as your documents,
which makes them easier to manage.
Step 5: Save and exit.
Only one width table can be in effect for a given GEM Desktop
Publisher session. The one in effect is called the current width
table. When you Save and Exit from Font Merge, the width table
you were editing becomes the current width table.
Step 6: Verify the availability of the new fonts.
When you return to the GEM Desktop, start GEM Desktop
Publisher and open a document. In Paragraph mode, select a
paragraph, then choose the Character command from the Style
Menu. The fonts in the current width table should be listed.
What Is Actually Going On
When you save the current width table, Font Merge transfers the information in this table to the GEM Desktop Publisher font width table. This
table is a file named WTABLES.WID. There is only one Publisher width
table, but you can create numerous width tables in Font Merge to use different font sets with different documents.
Whenever you change the information in the current width table or
select another width table in Font Merge,the existing information in
WTABLES.WID is discarded and replaced with the new. Font Merge
doesn't let you edit WTABLES.WID directly; instead, changes are made
to it ''behind the scenes."

Font Considerations
Font Merge
Font Considerations
The GEM software imposes printer font requirements, which differ according to the font type. You need to know how to identify your printer
fonts in order to ensure that these requirements are met and to maintain
your font files properly. (Refer to section 4 of the Fontware Installation
Guide.)
Unlike the Fontware kit, Font Merge deals only with printer fonts, and
not screen fonts. Printer fonts fall under three major types:
• Hewlett-Packard® (HP®) SoftFonts
• PostScript® fonts (available from Adobe®, Bitstream®, and thirdparty developers)
• bit-mapped fonts (GEM Setup installs these automatically when you
add a printer supported by GEM/3 to your device setup)
GEM software applications handle HP SoftFonts and PostScript fonts differently from bit-mapped fonts. For both font types, be sure to generate
each typestyle (Normal (Roman), Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic) in
Fontware that you need, or they will print as Roman characters.
HP SoftFonts
If you are installing SoftFonts, and you have installed a 300 dots per inch
(DPI) printer, your FONTS folder must contain at least one GEM-created
bit-mapped font (having file name extension B30) to enable proper output to your HP laser printer. If you installed a 150 DPI printer, make
sure that FONTS contains one HPH file.
1-5
Installing Third-Party Fonts
Font Merge
PostScript Fonts
If you are installing PostScript fonts, you need not generate the printer
fonts that are resident in your printer. Also, PostScript fonts do not require matching screen fonts for GEM Desktop Publisher. Note, however,
that they are required in other GEM applications. If you are using Adobe
PostScript fonts, do not add Bitstream PostScript fonts to a width table,
as the font widths will not match.
Bit-Mapped Fonts
If you do not create all four typestyles of a font (Normal, Bold, Italic, and
Bold Italic) in Fontware, the GEM application software produces a synthesized version of each missing typestyle for this font. For example,
bold is reproduced by printing a character twice, the second time slightly
offset from the first. The true typestyles are of higher quality than the
synthesized versions.
Backing Up Your Fonts
If you intend to change the printer in your device setup, you should back
up your fonts onto floppy disks. When you change your printer in GEM
Setup, all fonts for the old printer are automatically deleted from the
FONTS folder.
Installing Third-Party Fonts
You install third-party fonts by copying them from your distribution disk
into the FONTS folder. You can copy them either from within the GEM
Desktop or from your operating system command line.
To copy from within the GEM Desktop, use one of the techniques
described in the GEM/3 Desktop User's Guide, "Selecting Multiple Icons"
in Section 3, to copy all of the files.

Font File Requirements
Font Merge
To copy from the operating system command line:
1. Move to the FONTS directory by typing:
CD \GEMAPPS\FONTS
2. Type this command:
COPY A:*.*
When copying is finished, you should ensure that your font files are set
up correctly, as explained below.
Font File Requirements
When the font files are in place on your hard disk, make sure that the
FONTS folder contains the font fues for your font type and any required
associated fues. The files are listed below by fue name extension.

Section 2
Creating Width Tables
This section describes the steps for creating a width table to make
newly-created fonts available for use with GEM Desktop Publisher.
If you are adding third-party fonts, all of the sections in this section
apply except for "Adding New Fonts." For instructions on adding new
fonts, see Section 3, "Adding Fonts from the Fonts Folder."
A Quick Walk through Width Table Creation
Font Merge provides a predefined (default) width table named
POSTSCPT.WID. This file contains font information for the PostScript
Swiss and Dutch printer fonts. You create your fIrst width table in Font
Merge by making a copy of POSTSCPT.WID, assigning the copy a new
name, then editing it.
Unless you create another width table, GEM Desktop Publisher uses
POSTSCPT.WID; that is, the Publisher width table (WTABLES.WID) contains only the font information in POSTSCPT.WID. These are the basic
steps for creating a new table:
1. Start Font Merge.
2. In Font Merge, copy the current width table (initially
POSTSCPT.WID) to create a new one, and give the copy another
name.
3. Add your newly-created Fontware fonts to the copy.
4. Save the copy as the new current width table.
5. Exit Font Merge.
If you make a mistake during the Font Merge session, you can correct it
simply by changing the incorrect selection or by choosing Abandon,
which cancels all the changes you made during the session.

Creating a New Width Table
After you start Font Merge, follow the steps below to create a new width
table from POSTSCPT.WID.
1. Choose Copy to New in the options box. Font Merge displays the
ITEM SELECTOR dialog.
2. Type a name for your width table on the Selection line (you need not
type ".WID").
3. Click on the OK button or press .J.
The main screen subtitle displays the name of the width table you have
created. You can now add and delete fonts and font sizes.
Adding Your New Fontware Fonts
The Add New Fonts option adds all of the fonts, typestyles, and sizes
you created the last time you ran Fontware. The following pages
describe the procedure for adding PostScript fonts and for adding nonPostScript fonts.
Each time you run Fontware, it creates ajob file, called FWARE.JOB,
which records the fonts created in that Fontware session. With each session, the old job file is replaced by a new job file. When you select Add
New Fonts, Font Merge reads this file and adds the fonts it contains to
the width table.
Note: You need add only the Roman typeface of a font to the width
table. The other typestyles will be available in GEM Desktop Publisher
as long as they are contained in the FONTS folder.
2-3
Font Merge
Adding Your New Fontware Fonts
Adding PostScript Fonts
Click on Add New Fonts. A window appears, displaying the names of
the files containing the font information being added to the width table.
When the width table is complete, the fonts you created with Fontware
and their sizes are displayed in the Fonts and Sizes boxes of the Font
Merge main screen. Font Merge automatically generates 16 point sizes
ranging from 6 to 72. You can add and delete sizes as needed, and you
can specify PostScript point sizes above 72. The large fonts will not display correctly on-screen, but they will print correctly. You should try
printing various large fonts to determine which looks the best when
printed.
If Font Merge encounters a font that you've created that matches one already in the width table, it displays this dialog:
Font (Swiss)

Managing Width Tables and Documents
Font Merge
Managing Width Tables and Documents
Every document you edit in GEM Desktop Publisher uses the current
width table until you reenter Font Merge and select another table. If you
create many width tables, you must keep track of which table is used for
which documents, in order to select the right one.
The best way to manage your width table is to keep each width table in
the folder or on the floppy disk used to create documents that use that
width table. You can also give the table the same name as the folder. In
tum, you should save documents of the same type in the same folder.
For example, your company's monthly newsletter uses the Swiss, Charter,
and Cooper Black® fonts. You save your newsletter documents in a
folder named NEWSLTIR. In this case, you create a width table n~med
NEWSLTIR. WID and save it in the NEWSLTIR folder. Here's how:
1. Start Font Merge and select POSTSCPT.WID (or the table you use to
create new width tables).
2. Click on the Copy To New option. The ITEM SELECTOR appears.
3. In the ITEM SELECTOR, display the directory NEWSLTIR.
4. Type NEWSLTTR. WID on the Selection line, then click on the OK button or press ..J.
5. Add the fonts you need to the width table then save it. It becomes
the current width table.
Before exiting Font Merge, you can select another current width table
using the Select Table option.
Now, whenever you need to edit a newsletter in Publisher, enter Font
Merge, choose Select Table, then display the contents of the
NEWSLTIR folder to locate the width table.
Whenever you copy a document with the GEM Desktop Publisher Copy
Document command, enter Font Merge and copy the width table to the
same destination, as described above.
2-6
Section 3
Changing Width Tables
you can alter your width tables at any time, to change the fonts or font
sizes it contains. Every time you start Font Merge, the current width
table, that is, the width table you saved last, is displayed. You can make
changes to this width table or select another to edit.
This section explains how to:
• select a different width table
• add fonts from the fonts directory
• add and delete font sizes
• delete fonts
• delete width tables
Selecting Width Tables
To select another width table:
1. Choose Select Table in the options box. Font Merge displays the
ITEM SELECTOR.
2. Either click on the width table name or type it on the Selection line.
3. Click on the OK button or press .J.
Now you can make changes to the selected width table. To make it the
current width table without editing it, simply click on the Done button
then choose Save Table and Exit from the dialog that appears.
Adding Fonts from the Fonts Folder
Font Merge
Adding Fonts from the Fonts Folder
Whenever you create fonts with Fontware, they are stored in the FONTS
folder. If you are adding fonts from a third party, you must have previously copied them into the FONTS folder either from within the GEM
Desktop or from your operating system command line. See ''Installing
Third-Party Fonts" in Section 1.
You can add the fonts to your width table one at a time, or you can add
the .entire contents of the FONTS folder at once.
Adding Fonts Individually
Follow the steps below to add individual fonts to your width table.
1. Click on Add One Font in the options box.
The ITEM SELECTOR dialog is displayed; it lists all the font files contained in the FONTS folder.
2. See Appendix A, which contains keys to the typeface and device identifiers in font file names. Identify the font you created and either
click on the file name or type it on the Selection line.
3. Click on the OK button or press .J.
The font(s) and font sizes are now displayed in the main screen.
If you're adding PostScript fonts, Font Merge automatically generates 16
point sizes ranging from 6 to 72. You can add more sizes and delete
sizes as needed. You can specify PostScript sizes above 72 points. The
large fonts won't display correctly on-screen but they will print correctly.
Note: If you hear a beep when you display the ITEM SELECTOR, this
means that the number of files in the directory shown exceeds the limit
imposed by the GEM/3 system software. In this case, list only files with
identical file name characters. For example, to list all files in the directory having the EPS extension, change the Directory line file specification
from *. * to *.EPS. Only files having the EPS extension are listed.
3-2
Adding and Deleting Font Sizes
Font Merge
Adding the Entire Folder
If you've created several new fues or if you're adding non-Fontware fonts,
you may save time by adding the entire contents of the FONTS folder,
rather than adding the fonts one-by-one or using the Add New Fonts
option. The latter option is available for Fontware fonts only.
Click on the Add All Fonts option. A window appears and displays the
names of the fues containing font information being added to the width
table.
If Font Merge encounters a font file that already exists in the width table,
it displays an alert asking whether to replace the existing font file. If you
click on OK, any changes you've made to this font in the width table
(added sizes, deleted sizes, and so forth) are lost. If you click on the Cancel button, Font Merge skips copying the font file and retains the version
in the width table.
Adding and Deleting Font Sizes
To add a font size, choose the Add Size option. Then type the size you
want in the "Add size" dialog which appears.
Note that certain limitations apply to the point sizes you select. These
limitations depend on the printer type specified in the width table. If
you specify an invalid point size, Font Merge will tell you and reject the
spe~ification.
To delete a font size, click on the size you want to delete in the Size box,
then choose the Delete Size option. The size is removed.
3-3
Deleting Fonts
Font Merge
Deleting Fonts
To delete a font:
1. Click on the font name in the Fonts box. The name becomes highlighted.
2. Click on Delete Font in the options box.
Ail sizes and all styles of the selected font are deleted from the width
table.
Deleting Width Tables
You delete width tables by deleting their fue icons on the GEM Desktop.
1. Click on the icon in question so that it becomes highlighted.
2. Either choose the Delete command in the File Menu or press the AIt
key and type D at the same time.

ARTICHOKE SALES BOOM
The artichoke industry has recently reported a significant
increase in the sales of California's favorite vegetable.
Despite increasing costs associated with producing
artichokes, the volume being consumed continues to
increase.
Californians are not the only fans of the gustatory globe as
much of the crop is exported to the Eastern United States as
well as to South America. Many varieties of the artichoke also
thrive in Europe and Asia. The plant was CUltivated in
California by Italian immigrants.
The first shipmentto the East Coast was in 1907. The traffic
has been brisk ever since. Most of the trade is in the fresh
vegetable, but a small percentage of the crop is canned.
is high in iron, minerals, and iodine. In California, it is
primarily eaten in salads or steamed and dipped in butter. In
Europe, however, it is also baked, boiled, fried and stuffed. It
makes a unique and flavorful appetizer when served hot,
whole or in segments; with mayonnaise, butter, or salad
dressing, each bract (leaf) pulled off separately and dipped
in the sauce. The heart is then cut up and eaten as well,
once the hairy "choke" has been removed.
The artichoke has long been valued as a culinary vegetable.
The earliest records of its use are in Asia; it then spread to
Italy and Southern France. Many different ways to prepare
them have flourished over the years. For instance, in Italy,
the dried hearts of both the cultivated and wild varieties are
used in soup.
Vive la France
A 'Choke of a Different
Color
The globe or French artichoke (Cynara
Scolymus) is a member of the family
Compositae, having a resemblance to
a large thistle. It grows three to four
feet tall with large flower heads that
resemble a large green pine cone. This
is the part eaten, while young and
tender.
The conditions necessary for this plant
to thrive exist in very few places in the
United States. In California, most of the
crop comes from a strip of land along
the coast between San Francisco and
Monterey and stretching a mile or two
inland. The cool foggy climate is ideal;
they can stand neither heat nor frost.
Commercially, the globe artichoke is
propagated by sprouts at the rate of
about 900 plants per acre.
They are usually placed six feet apart in rows six feet apart.
Rich, well-drained land with plenty of water and fertilizer is
required for good growth.
The buds must be cut before they open, lest they become
woody. The small compact buds are usually the more
flavorful but tend to be sold locally at roadside stands.
Ironically, the commercial demand is for the larger, less tasty,
buds.
An Acquired Taste
The taste for the vegetable is usually acquired through
someone else's urgings. The artichoke is beneficial in that it
The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus
tuberosus) is a quite different plant grown
primarily .for its tubers. It is not related to
the globe-type artichoke at all. It is native
to the Eastern United States. Each six- to
ten- foot tall plant can bear 30 to 50
potato-like tubers that can be boiled and
eaten. They range in color from reddish
purple to yellowish white. The tops can be
harvested for silage if cut while tender,
but this stunts the growth of the tubers. It
acquired the name Jerusalem because
it's foliage resembles that of the sunflower
and Jerusalem is a corruption of the
Italian word "girasole", which means
sunflower.
\
~\
\\
\\
The Jerusalem artichoke is occasionally
grown in home gardens as a vegetable
and is often used for pickling. It enjoyed a brief renaissance
during the 1960's "back to the earth" movement. It is now,
alas, principally used for livestock feed in the Northwest. It is
easy to cultivate, thrives in poor soil and is not injured by
frost. This accounts for the gigantic yields that can be
achieved. In temperate climes, they can spread so far as to
be considered a weed. However once harvested, the tubers
do not keep very well.
\:
Two different plants, and both relatively unknown, that is,
until recently. The current sales boom will bring more people
than ever to savor the gustatory globe. But the tuber, like the
turnip will probably have few fans and achieve its greatest
fame as an object of humor and its greatest shame the
ignominy of being called a weed.

Houslng Trends Continue
President'sMessage
The housing frenzy of 1988 continued into the third
quarter in the Easton Area. More homes were listed
and sold this quarter than any previous three month
period. Market analysts predict that this trend will
continue for the rest of this year.
I would like to thank all of you for
the warm welcome you gave me
when I arrived on the job a few
short months ago. I had heard that
the Easton area agents were the
most people-oriented in the
business. You certainly showed that
to be true in making me feel at
home from my first day.
Real estate offices all over the greater Easton area
are reporting record-breaking figures in listings, sales,
and prices. Many homes are sold before the listing is
entered into the Multiple Listing Service, resulting in
happy sellers and frustrated buyers. Sellers are asking
for, and receiving, top dollar for their homes,
especially homes in waterfront communities.

Rullog on Watedront Properties
In their September meeting, the Easton Area
Housing Control Board decided to accept a ruling
that requires all new waterfront homes be built on
lots no smaller than two acres. The ruling, which
passed by a 7 to 2 vote, restricts all new construction
after October 1 of this year. Construction already in
process by that date is not affected.
I was surprised and pleased to find
that so many of you use computers
when conducting business. Too
often, real estate agents overlook
the advantages of using a computer
- either because they are too busy to
learn some computer skills or
because the mere thought of using a
machine more complicated than a
typewriter makes them break out in
a cold sweat.
Unfortunately, it seems that most of
you use your computer only for
access to the Multiple Listing
Service information. Lately, listings
come and go so quickly that most of
us could not survive without this
service. Of course, that is the main
focus of our business, but it is
certainly not the only area where
computers
can
help
us
professionally.
Personal computers can be used for
word processing, bookkeeping,
financial
analysis,
client
information, and just about
anything else you can envision!

President's Message
(Conlinuedhompage 1)
Almost any repetitive or time consuming task can be
made easier with a computer. Some applications, such
as mailing lists, may take a while to set up, but the time
spent now will be saved ten-fold in the future.
Computers can also make your work more accurate.
We all know how difficult it is to perform at our peak
24 hours a day. Often we must do our paperwork late
at night, long after our clients have gone home.
Prepared computer applications can help us make sure
our work is accurate and complete.
Finally, computers can help us improve the quality and
appearance of our printed material. Every day, we
prepare advertisements, flyers, and brochures in an
effort to sell more real estate. But if our materials
look unprofessional, customers may assume WE are
unprofessional. Personal computers and desktop
publishing software can help us prepare quality
presentation material with very little time and financial
investment. In fact, this newsletter was produced very
quickly and easily using Gem Desktop Publisher from
Digital Research in Monterey, California.
Computers will play a large role in the real estate
business of the future. They will save you time and
money while helping to further your career in real
estate. If you are not using a computer now, you owe it
to yourself and your clients to try. I think you will be
pleased with the bottom line results.

Housing Trends
The average price for a single
family home has increased 12.5%
in the last twelve months. The
following neighborhoods have
experienced the most significant
pricing Changes:

Condominiums and improved
properties are also selling quickly,
although their trend is less
impressive than that of single
family homes. Condominiums have
always been popular as second
homes, although the increased
industry in Easton and Warwick
have brought many first time
buyers to the area.
Waterfront properties boomed
briefly following the ruling that
limits the size of waterfront lots to
a minimum of two acres (See
related article on page 1).
Watedront Ruling (Conlinuedlrom page 1)
The ruling cames as a surprise to many area residents, especially those who have purchased
waterfront lots smaller than two acres. The Planning Commission has been flooded with calls
from builders who are waiting for the necessary permits to begin construction.
Waterfront residents are pleased by the ruling. Most of the older waterfront homes are on
several acres and residents have been concerned that unchecked housing growth would
compromise these dignified communities. The Avalon Park area has been struggling with this
problem for the last two years.
