3260.0. "Kindwords Superfonts Query" by AMIGA2::MCGHIE (Thank Heaven for small Murphys !) Wed Dec 27 1989 02:36

    Hi,
    
    I recently purchased a copy of Kindwords. One of the features I like
    and would like to be able to use is the Superfonts facility.
    
    The problem is that I don't have a 'standard' printer. I run a Citoh
    prowriter. I have a driver that works fine under etc. What I need to do
    is create myself a custom .PRN file for use with Kindwords. I started
    interpreting one of the supplied files the other day but ran out of
    time and decided I might as well ask first.
    
    Has anyone sat down and worked out what each line in the file means. As
    far as I can tell it simply lets Kindwords determine the escape codes
    to use and resolutions the printer is capable of so that it can
    generate the character bitmaps correctly for the 'superfonts'.
    
    Anyone out there able to help me on this ?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    	All the best for you other Amiga users around the world for the
    	next year and decade !
    
    Regards
    	Mike

	I got nowhere ... this is probably because I've only got 512K and KINDWORDS doesn't work too well with less than a meg.
