fonts you

create with Fontware

Tli

purchase from third-party developers avail-

able for use with

GEM

Desktop Publisher.

GEM

Desktop Publisher requires font width information for printer fonts

in the form

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

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.

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®

system,

GEM

Desktop Publisher, and Fontware. Font Merge

installed automati-

cally when you install

GEM

Desktop Publisher. It is located in the

GEMAPPS

folder (or directory, in

DOS

terminology)

your hard disk.

This guide also assumes

that

you are familiar with the basic concepts be-

hind the

GEM

Desktop, as well as the mouse techniques used in

GEM

ap-

plications. These are explained in the GEM/3 Desktop

User's

Guide.

Foreword Font

Merge

Terms We Use

The term

"font"

refers to a file containing a set of characters designed ac-

cording to a specific typeface for a specific model of printer

display

device. Each font has a typeface design, such as Swiss Italic, and a set

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)

a font.

"Folder"

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

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 dis-

played 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

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

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.

Overview

Running

Font Merge

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

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

Installation

Overview

A Closer Look

the

Installation Steps

Here are the installation steps explained in greater detail:

Step

Run

Fontware

and

generate fonts,

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

explained later in this section.

Step

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

Create a

width

table

Font Merge.

GEM

Desktop Publisher allows a maximum of eight fonts to be

used

a time. Therefore, each width table you create can con-

tain up to eight font entries. You can create as many width

tables

you need for use with documents requiring different

fonts.

Note:

You need add only the Roman typestyle

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

Actually Going On Font Merge

Step

Save

the

width

table

folders

containing

associated documents.

This

optional step,

but

one

that

you should follow if you

create many different width tables. As a matter

good file

management practice, copy each width table into the folder

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

Save

and

exit.

Only one width table can be in effect for a given

GEM

Desktop

Publisher session. The one in effect

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

Verify

the

availability

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

1-4

When you save the current width table, Font Merge transfers the informa-

tion in this table to the

GEM

Desktop Publisher font width table. This

table

a file named

WTABLES.WID.

There

only one Publisher width

table,

but

you can create numerous width tables in Font Merge to use dif-

ferent font sets with different documents.

Whenever you change the information in the current width table

select another width table in Font Merge,the existing information in

WTABLES.WID

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 Merge Font Considerations

Font Considerations

The

GEM

software imposes printer font requirements, which differ

ac-

cording 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 third-

party 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

SoftFonts and PostScript fonts

dif-

ferently 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,

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

least one GEM-created

bit-mapped font (having file name extension B30) to enable proper out-

put

to your

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

re-

quire matching screen fonts for

GEM

Desktop Publisher. Note, however,

that

they are required in other

GEM

applications.

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

a font (Normal, Bold, Italic, and

Bold Italic) in Fontware, the

GEM

application software produces a syn-

thesized version

each missing typestyle for this font. For example,

bold

reproduced by printing a character twice, the second time slightly

offset from the first. The true typestyles are

higher quality

than

the

synthesized versions.

Backing

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

1-6

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

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

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."

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

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)

con-

tains 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

by choosing

Abandon,

which cancels all the changes you made during the session.

FWARE.JOB,

which records the fonts created in

that

Fontware session. With each ses-

sion, 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

contains to

the width table.

Note:

You need add only the Roman typeface

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.

Adding Your New Fontware Fonts Font Merge

2-4

Adding PostScript Fonts

Click on

Add

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

dis-

play 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

Managing Width

Tables

and Documents Font

Merge

Managing Width Tables

and

Documents

2-6

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

which table is used for

which documents, in order to select the right one.

The best way to manage your width table

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

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

folder named NEWSLTIR. In this case, you create a width table

n~med

NEWSL

TIR.

WID

and save it

the

NEWSL

TIR

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

New

option. The

ITEM

SELECTOR

appears.

3. In the

ITEM

SELECTOR,

display the directory

NEWSL

TIR.

4. Type

NEWSLTTR.

WID

on the Selection line, then click on the

but-

ton

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

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.

Section 3

Changing

Width

Tables

you

can alter your width tables

any time, to change the fonts or font

sizes it contains. Every time you start Font Merge, the current width

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 pre-

viously 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

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

displayed;

lists all the font files con-

tained in the

FONTS

folder.

2. See Appendix A, which contains keys to the typeface and device iden-

tifiers 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

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

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 direc-

tory having the

EPS

extension, change the Directory line file specification

from

* to *

.EPS.

Only files having the

EPS

extension are listed.

ARTICHOKE SALES BOOM

The

artichoke industry has recently reported a significant

increase in the sales

California's favorite vegetable.

Despite increasing costs associated with producing

artichokes, the

volume being consumed continues

increase.

Californians are

not

the only fans

the

crop

well as

South America. Many varieties

the artichoke also

thrive in Europe and Asia. The plant was CUltivated in

The first

shipmentto

has been brisk ever since. Most

the trade is in the fresh

vegetable,

but

a small percentage

the crop is canned.

Vive

France

The

globe

French artichoke (Cynara

Scolymus) is a member

the family

Compositae, having a resemblance

a large thistle. It grows three

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

United States. In California,

most

the

crop

comes from a strip

land along

the coast between San Francisco

and

Monterey

and

stretching a mile

two

inland. The cool foggy climate is ideal;

they can stand neither heat

nor

frost.

Commercially, the globe artichoke is

about

900

plants per acre.

They are usually placed six feet apart in rows six feet apart.

Rich, well-drained land with plenty

water

and

fertilizer is

required

for

good

growth.

The buds

must

cut

before they open, lest they become

woody. The small compact buds are usually the more

flavorful

but

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

is high in iron, minerals, and iodine. In California,

primarily eaten in salads

steamed and

dipped

in butter. In

Europe, however,

is also baked, boiled, fried

and

stuffed. It

makes a unique and flavorful appetizer when served hot,

whole

in segments; with mayonnaise, butter,

salad

dressing, each bract (leaf) pulled off separately and

dipped

in the sauce.

The

heart is then

cut

and

eaten as well,

once the hairy "choke" has been removed.

The artichoke has long been valued as a culinary vegetable.

The earliest records

its use are in Asia;

then spread

Italy and Southern France. Many different ways

prepare

them have flourished

over

the years. For instance, in Italy,

the dried hearts

both the cultivated and wild varieties are

used in soup.

'Choke

of a Different

Color

The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus

tuberosus) is a quite different plant

grown

primarily .for its tubers. It is

to the Eastern United States. Each six- to

ten- foot tall plant can bear 30

potato-like tubers that can be boiled

and

eaten. They range in

color

from reddish

while tender,

but this stunts the growth

acquired the name Jerusalem because

it's

foliage resembles that

the sunflower

and Jerusalem is a corruption

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

Trends

Continue

The housing frenzy

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

this year.

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

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.

In their September meeting, the Easton Area

that requires all new waterfront homes be built on

lots no smaller than two acres. The ruling, which

after October 1

Message

I would like

thank all

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

first

day.

was

surprised and pleased to find

that so many

you use computers

when conducting business. Too

often, real estate agents overlook

the advantages

using a computer

-either because they are too busy to

learn some computer skills

because the mere thought

using a

machine more complicated than a

typewriter makes them break

out

a cold sweat.

Unfortunately, it seems that most

you use your computer only for

access to the Multiple Listing

Service information. Lately, listings

come and

so quickly that most

could not survive without this

service.

course, that

business, but it

certainly not the only area where

computers can help

Personal computers can be used for

anything else you can envision!
