Chapter 3. Creating and modifying fonts Modifying fonts Figure 3-5 Character Editor window The character (A) and its ASCII value (65) The bitmap scale: 100 is the actual size The current character is displayed in the actual size (’Size-100’). By clicking on the + or - button you can respectively zoom in or zoom out. If the character initially appears with a size less then 100, it is too large to fit in the Character Editor window and was automatically scaled down to fit in the window. (When you have cleared the font, you will not see a character in the Character Editor window.) The actual editing of the characters is done in your own painting program. By means of the Save Clipboard and Load Clipboard buttons you can copy and paste characters to and from the Windows clipboard. When you have saved the current character to the clipboard, switch to your painting program and select Edit → Paste (or CTRL+V). The character appears on the screen and you can edit it pixel by pixel. When you are satisfied, select Edit → Copy (or CTRL+C). Switch back to the Fontmanager Character Editor window and click the Load Clipboard button. Your edited character appears on the screen. You can click OK to save it, or Cancel if you are not satisfied and want to discard the changes. 3 - 6 Fontmanager
Chapter 3. Creating and modifying fonts Using fonts on another system Note: The font is automatically resized to the largest bitmap. The only restriction is that the bitmap should not have a height more than: • 128 pixels for a 5120 printer • 256 pixels for a 5122, 5240, or 7122 printer • 768 pixels for a 4300 printer. This allows 1-inch tall bitmaps for the 5120 and 5240 printers, 2-inch tall bitmaps for the 5122 and 7122, and 2.5-inch bitmaps for the 4300. The maximum bitmap width for all printers is 32,767 pixels. The Load Bitmap button can be used to load existing bitmaps from disk. For example, you can load characters you have already made, or pictures you want to use in the current font. This way you can also load characters from another font that you have previously stored in separate bitmap files. When you click the Clear button, the complete character is wiped out. Click OK when you finished editing the current character or Cancel if you do not want to keep the changes. 3.3 Using fonts on another system It is possible to create fonts on one computer and use them on another. In this case you have be very careful not to overwrite existing fonts or use duplicate font numbers. The Scitex printer only looks at the font numbers, not at the font names. So you can have fonts with a different name but the same number. The Scitex printer will only read the first one. A possible solution is to include the font number in the font filename. Note: Fontmanager can only check for duplicate numbers on the computer you create the fonts on. For each font you have to copy two files: the .FNT and the .INF file. For example, if you made a font named Demo and another named 4004, you will have to copy the following files: Operator’s Guide 3 - 7
