dtl tracemaster: tab options
–Size of signet
Here the relation between the size of the original ik data and the eps that
has to be generated can be defined. The default for ik data is an em-square
of 15000 x 15000 units and 1000 units are equal to ten millimetres. The
option like ik-Signet will preserve the original size of the Ikarus outline.
With user define size the output size of the eps can be defined.
–Preview options
The newly generated eps file can contain a tiff file for preview purposes.
The resolution of this tiff can be defined. There is also an option to
compress the tiff file. The default is none compression.
–Character Selection
An ik database file can contain multiple glyphs, especially when the
database consists of a font. In case Single is selected, the Character Number
must be entered; the default is number 101, which is normally the capital A
in a font database.
The option All will convert all characters in the ik database into eps
format.
The option Group will convert all characters within the defined range.
Allow overwrite will overwrite a single eps file with the same number or a
range of eps files depending of the above described options. Put all selected
ik into one eps file will generate a large eps containing all characters.

the Font Name is taken from the File Name.
The Options button will reveal a large range of parameters for the
TrueType font. Please check the dtl DataMaster manual for a detailed
description of this functionality.
