| 2185.1 | Draft mode font for ProWrite? | SUBSYS::BUSCH | Dave Busch, NKS1-2/H6 | Wed Feb 01 1989 11:30 | 8 |
| To follow up on my original question. When using ProWrite to output a document
in draft mode, they recommend using the Topaz 11 font so that the spacing will
come out correctly. Topaz 11 may have the correct size/spacing but the font is
"thicker" and not the same as a draft mode font. Is there a font for the Amiga
which is the same as the draft font on a 9 pin printer?

Dave, have you gotten the ProScript (Postscript interpereter) for
Prowrite? Seems to me that you could output the document, complete
with boxes, as a PS file for printing on an LPS40.
The only structured drawing program, other than Aegis Draw Plus
and X-CAD, that I've heard of is Gold Disk's Professional Draw.
I don't know if it's actually shipping yet, and given Gold Disk's
propensity for producing very high-powered software, I suspect the
price would reach well into the hundreds of dollars.

| 2185.3 | Express Paint | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Wed Feb 01 1989 13:10 | 9 |
| If I were doing something like this I'd use Express Paint to create the
drawings. It can edit a full resolution (2400 by 3300) bit map (in pieces)
and output it to a PostScript printer. Adding text is tedious, but can
be done.
If I had a lot of text I'd use AmigaTeX to deal with the text,
and import the Express Paint diagrams. There are instructions with
AmigaTeX for doing this, but I haven't actually tried it yet.

No, I haven't heard about that one. Tell me more about it (price, capabilities,
etc.). How do you use it?

I had received an offer from New Horizons to buy it (as a ProWrite
owner) for $30 or so. I don't know what the mail order price is,
since I didn't get it. The ads say that it is a full Postscript
interpereter. You runs your file through it and PS comes out the
other end.
As .5 says, Express Paint would be another option, since the ads
claim full PostScript capabilities. The claims for Express Paint
look quite impressive, but again, I never did buy it.
I have used CLAZ on VMS to convert IFF bitmaps to PS files for printing
on the LPS40 with very nice results.

| 2185.6 | ProScript fonts limited | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Wed Feb 01 1989 17:26 | 6 |
| I bought ProScript, and it does produce nice text, but if you want
full-resolution (PostScript) text you must stick to Times, Helvetica
and Courier. If you use any other fonts you get screen resolution.
I have asked them to support some additional PostScript fonts; no
response yet.
