**************************************************************
Problems Displaying or Printing Fonts After You Have Installed 
Lots of Fonts
**************************************************************

Many Windows applications have a limit on the number of 
installed fonts that you can use. For example, some applications 
won't let you use more than 90 fonts, while others won't let 
you use more than 200.

This leads to problems with on-screen or printed documents that 
you format or have already formatted. Although you may be able 
to select a font in a font menu, you might find that the 
on-screen or printed document is formatted with a different font.

For example, you have installed 250 fonts from the 500 Font CD. 
Now you are using a Windows word processor. You select all the 
text you want to format, then choose the Zurich Bold font from 
your font menu. You may find that the text on the screen is not 
formatted in Zurich Bold, or that the document you send to your 
printer is formatted in a different font.

One solution is to delete those fonts that you don't use very 
often; remember, you can always re-install them from the 
500 Font CD. Another solution is to use a font management 
utility that runs in Windows.



***************************************************************
TYPEFACE.TXT: Font File Names, and Windows Font and Style Names
***************************************************************

As mentioned earlier, the TTFONTS and PSFONTS directories each 
contain all the TrueType and PostScript Type 1 fonts, grouped 
alphabetically into eight subdirectories: A_C, D_F, G_I, 
ITCFONTS, K_M, N_P, R_T, and U_Z.

Each of these subdirectories has a TYPEFACE.TXT file. This file
lists all the fonts from that subdirectory in alphabetical 
order. It also lists the font file name, the Windows font menu 
name, and the Windows style menu name.

Open TYPEFACE.TXT in a text editor, such as Notepad.

For example, here are the first two entries in the TYPEFACE.TXT 
file stored in the A_C subdirectory of TTFONTS.

	--------------------------------------------
	TYPEFACE:               Aachen Bold
	Bitstream Font Number:  1103
	
	*** For Windows ***
	      Typeface:  Aachen BT
	      Style:     bold
	      Alternate TrueType style:  Bold
	
	          TrueType font filename:  tt1103m_.TTF
	
	--------------------------------------------
	TYPEFACE:               Aachen
	Bitstream Font Number:  1102
	
	*** For Windows ***
	      Typeface:  Aachen BT
	      Style:     plain
	      Alternate TrueType style:  Roman
	
	          TrueType font filename:  tt1102m_.TTF

	--------------------------------------------



*************************************************
Selecting Fonts in Microsoft Windows Applications
*************************************************

See the TYPEFACE.TXT file in each subdirectory of PSFONTS or 
TTFONTS, as discussed above, for a list of font and style names 
in Windows menus. Open a TYPEFACE.TXT file in a text editor, 
such as Notepad.

This section discusses how to select fonts that have a variety 
of styles or only one or two styles.

> For fonts with a variety of styles <

Most Windows applications let you choose from the roman (normal), 
italic, bold, or bold italic styles. However, some Bitstream 
typeface families contain fonts with other styles, for example, 
condensed or extra black.

To select these styles, you need to know how they are linked to 
the "base" typeface. For example, to use the Incised 901 Black 
font in Windows applications, select Incised901 BT from the 
font menu and Bold from the style menu. For more information, 
see the TYPEFACE.TXT file in each subdirectory of PSFONTS or 
TTFONTS.

> For fonts with one or two styles <

Some Bitstream typeface packages contain fonts with only one or 
two style variations. While you can select a style that is not 
included, the font may not print correctly.

For example, Handel Gothic(TM) contains only the normal style. 
Although your application may let you choose bold or italic 
from the style menu, only the Handel Gothic normal font may 
print correctly.



*********************************************
Accessing Non-Keyboard Characters in Pi Fonts
*********************************************

These fonts do not have characters assigned to every key on the 
keyboard: Commercial Pi, Holiday Pi (included on the CD in 
TrueType format only), Newspaper Pi, OCR-A, OCR-B, and Universal 
Math. This could lead to one of two problems.

> Incorrect spacing in printed documents <

If you select one of the Pi fonts in a Windows application, 
then press a key that does not have a character assigned to 
it, a blank space or a blank box may appear on the screen. 

In addition, when you print your document containing these blank 
spaces or blank boxes, the spacing may not be correct.

To solve these problems, select only keys that have characters 
assigned to them. Use the Microsoft Windows Character Map 
accessory to see which keys have Pi, OCR, or math characters 
assigned to them; Character Map is usually in the Accessories 
Window of the Windows Program Manager. See the Microsoft 
Windows 3.1 documentation for details on using Character Map.

> Blank boxes replacing nonprinting characters on the screen <

In Microsoft Word for Windows, you might elect to show all the 
characters on a screen, including such nonprinting characters 
as paragraph return symbols, tab symbols, and the spaces between 
words. If, for characters formatted with Pi fonts, you select 
Options from the Tools menu, then select any of the items under 
Nonprinting Characters, blank boxes will appear in place of the 
paragraph marks, tabs, spaces between words, and so forth.

Blank boxes may also appear when you select similar features in 
Ami Pro(TM), PageMaker(R) 4.0, and other applications.

Don't use these options if you find this to be a problem.



******************
Mini-MakeUp Issues
******************

This section discusses problems that might occur when you print 
images directly from Mini-MakeUp to a Hewlett-Packard(R) IIP or 
IID printer.

NOTE: If you import a Mini-MakeUp image into another Windows 
application, the image will print correctly on your IIP or IID 
printer.

If you have an HP(R) IIP or IID printer and try to print images 
directly from Mini-MakeUp, you might find that the image prints 
upside down and backward. In addition, the printed image's shape 
is square, no matter what shape you selected to pour your text 
into.

This problem occurs only if you use Bitstream FaceLift(TM) 2.0 
for Windows, and FaceLift is turned on for the IIP or IID 
printer.

To print images directly from Mini-MakeUp to an HP IIP or IID 
printer,

1. Save your Mini-MakeUp file, and exit Mini-MakeUp.

2. Start FaceLift 2.0 for Windows.

3. Click the Printers icon.

4. Click the HP IIP or IID printer (under Installed printers) 
   to highlight it.

5. Click the Print with FaceLift checkbox to remove the "X."

6. Click OK to close the dialog box.

7. Exit FaceLift.

8. Start Mini-MakeUp. Open your Mini-MakeUp file, and print it.



************************
PostScript Type 1 Issues
************************

This section discusses the following issues related to PostScript 
Type 1 fonts.

> Font file names

> Holiday Pi and SnowCap(TM) fonts


Font File Names
---------------
The Bitstream 500 Font CD contains .PFB and .PFM files. Use 
FaceLift 2.0 for Microsoft Windows or Adobe Type Manager 2.0 (or 
later) for Microsoft Windows to install these PostScript Type 1 
files.

The .PFB files contain the font file data, while the .PFM files 
contain font metrics information.

As mentioned earlier, each of the subdirectories of PSFONTS has 
a TYPEFACE.TXT file, which lists the .PFB file names of the fonts 
in that subdirectory. To see the .PFB file names and related 
information, open a TYPEFACE.TXT file in a text editor, such as 
Notepad. The .PFM file names are not listed in the TYPEFACE.TXT 
files.

However, the first part of the .PFM file name is the same as the 
first part of the .PFB file name. For example, if a PostScript 
Type 1 file has the name 0625a___.PFB, the .PFM file name is 
0625a___.PFM.

Each subdirectory of the PSFONTS also has .AFM and .INF files 
for each Type 1 font. Most Windows applications don't need them; 
Bitstream has included them for your convenience.


Holiday Pi and SnowCap(TM) Fonts
--------------------------------
The Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts are available in TrueType format 
only, not PostScript Type 1 format.



***************
TrueType Issues
***************

The rest of this release note discusses the following issues 
related to TrueType fonts.

> Using Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts in type manipulation 
  programs

> Bitstream MakeUp(TM)

> CorelDRAW

> Character set

> Screen fonts at small point sizes

> EGA display monitors


Font File Names
---------------
The Bitstream 500 Font CD contains .TTF files, which you install 
into Windows. During installation, Windows creates corresponding 
.FOT files. After installation, the .FOT and .TTF files are 
usually stored in the SYSTEM subdirectory of the Windows 
directory.

As mentioned earlier, each of the subdirectories of TTFONTS has 
a TYPEFACE.TXT file, which lists the .TTF file names of the 
fonts in that subdirectory. To see the .TTF file names and 
related information, open a TYPEFACE.TXT file in a text editor, 
such as Notepad. The .FOT file names are not listed in the 
TYPEFACE.TXT files.

However, the first part of the .FOT file name is the same as the 
first part of the .TTF file name. For example, if a TrueType 
file has the name TT7890M_.TTF, the .FOT file created during 
installation is TT7890M_.FOT.


Using Holiday Pi and SnowCap Fonts in Type Manipulation Programs
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you use applications with type manipulation features, such 
as Bitstream MakeUp, CorelDRAW, or Aldus IntelliDraw(TM), we 
recommend that you apply to the Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts 
only those special effects that change the orientation of a 
character, for example, flipping or rotating.

Do NOT stretch the characters or otherwise apply any special 
effects that change the shape of a character; for example, do
not apply shadows or 3-D effects. The image created when you 
apply these kinds of effects may not display or print correctly.

Here is a list of the effects that you can apply to the 
Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts in Bitstream MakeUp, CorelDRAW, 
and Aldus IntelliDraw.

Bitstream MakeUp (with updated files from CompuServe, as 
discussed below): Mask, Regular Text (AUTO), 
Regular Text (FIXED), Top of Circle, Bottom of Circle, 
Around a Circle, Rotate, Duplicate, Flip Horizontal,
Flip Vertical, Color.

CorelDRAW 3.x: Use as Straight Text, Rotate, Skew, Mirror, 
Fit to Path, Fit to Curve, Fit to Circle, Fit to Object.

Aldus IntelliDraw: Mirror, Slant, Rotate. 

NOTE: Harvard Draw and Gold Disk Professional Draw do not
work with the Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts.

You may have other applications with type manipulation
features that we did not test. If you do, follow the general
suggestions mentioned above.

See "Bitstream MakeUp," "CorelDRAW," "Broderbund Print Shop 
Deluxe for Windows," and "Harvard Graphics and Harvard Draw 
for Windows" in this file for additional information.


Bitstream MakeUp(TM)
--------------------
You may run into one of two problems when you use TrueType fonts 
in Bitstream MakeUp.

> Fonts don't appear on the screen; or two names for the same 
  font appear in the font menu <

Some Bitstream fonts may not appear on the screen when you type 
them in MakeUp. Sometimes two names for the same font appear in 
the MakeUp font menu.

This happens if you have installed the same typeface twice: once 
as a TrueType font in the Microsoft Windows Control Panel, and 
again as a Speedo(TM) or PostScript(R) Type 1 font in Bitstream 
FaceLift 2.0(TM) for Microsoft Windows.

To solve this problem, remove one of the duplicate fonts. For 
instructions on removing the font installed in FaceLift 2.0, see 
the FaceLift 2.0 for Windows user guide. For instructions on 
removing the TrueType font from the Windows Control Panel, see 
Chapter 1 of the Bitstream TrueType Fonts for Microsoft Windows 
3.1 User Guide.

If an error message appears when you're trying to remove a font 
from the Windows Control Panel, you need to remove the font 
manually. First, check the TYPEFACE.TXT file in each subdirectory 
of TTFONTS to find the .TTF file name for the problem font; open 
the TYPEFACE.TXT file in a text editor, such as Notepad. Exit 
Windows. In DOS, change to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory, and 
delete the .TTF and .FOT files for the font. (.FOT file names are 
identical to .TTF file names except for the .FOT extension.) Open 
Windows and repeat the steps for removing TrueType fonts, as 
described in chapter 1 of the Bitstream TrueType Fonts for 
Microsoft Windows 3.1 User Guide.

> Error messages when you use Holiday Pi <

If you use the Holiday Pi font in MakeUp version 1.0 or 1.1, you 
may get one of these error messages: "Not a valid TrueType font" 
or "Divide by zero." 

To avoid this problem, you need to obtain several updated MakeUp 
files, which are available on CompuServe. To access them on 
CompuServe,

1. Log onto CompuServe.

2. At any prompt, type GO DTPVendor and press ENTER.

3. After the first menu, enter either (2) Messages or 
   (3) Libraries, and press ENTER.

4. At the next menu, enter (13) Bitstream and press ENTER. Look 
   for "M.U.T.T. Files" (MakeUp TrueType Files). 

You can also get the updated files by faxing your request to 
Bitstream Technical Support at 617-354-7954 (U.S. and Canada 
only). If you don't have access to CompuServe or to a fax 
machine, call Technical Support at 617-497-7514.


CorelDRAW
---------
If you have installed the Holiday Pi font, you might see this 
message when you exit CorelDRAW 3.x: "General Protection Error." 

The message appears if you opened the Font List, even if you did 
not select the Holiday Pi font. You can ignore this message and 
continue to exit the program; it won't cause any other problems. 
(Always save your CorelDRAW document before exiting.)

If you type more than five characters of the Holiday Pi or
SnowCap font in CorelDRAW 3.x, you may get this message: "String 
is too long for desired font. Text may be truncated." To solve
this problem, try setting the text as "Paragraph Text" instead
of "Artistic Text."


Broderbund Print Shop(R) Deluxe for Windows
-------------------------------------------
Broderbund Print Shop Deluxe for Windows does not support 
TrueType Pi fonts. This affects the Commercial Pi, Holiday Pi, 
Newspaper Pi, OCR-A, OCR-B, and Universal Pi TrueType fonts 
included on the Bitstream 500 Font CD.


Harvard Graphics(R) and Harvard Draw(R) for Windows
---------------------------------------------------
In some versions of Harvard Graphics for Windows or Harvard Draw 
for Windows, Bitstream's TrueType fonts may not appear in the 
font menu. If this problem occurs, contact Software Publishing 
Corporation (SPC) for an update.

Also note that Holiday Pi and SnowCap fonts do not work in 
Harvard Draw.


Microsoft Excel for Windows
---------------------------
Microsoft Excel 4.0 lets you select bold, italic, or bold italic 
styles for each TrueType font in the font style menu, even if 
these styles are not available. When you select a style that is 
not available, this message appears: "This font style is imitated 
for the display. The closest matching style will be used for 
printing." 

For example, Handel Gothic has only one style: normal. However, 
Excel 4.0 lists bold, italic, and bold italic in the font style 
menu. If you select Handel Gothic and then select Bold, the 
message cited above appears.

To avoid using fonts that do not display or print correctly,
select only the font styles that are available for each font. 
When you pick the correct font style, a message tells you that 
the font is a TrueType font. Also refer to the TYPEFACE.TXT file 
in each subdirectory of TTFONTS for details about font styles.


Printing to PostScript Printers
-------------------------------
If you print to a PostScript printer, and your document contains 
a large number of TrueType fonts or font sizes, try printing one
page at a time in order to speed up printing time. 


Using QuarkXPress(R) and a PostScript Printer
---------------------------------------------
In some situations, the Bitstream TrueType Fonts for Microsoft 
Windows 3.1 User Guide recommends selecting "Bitmap (Type 3)" 
in the Windows Control Panel when printing the TrueType fonts 
to a PostScript printer.

However, if you make this selection in the Windows Control Panel, 
use the underline feature in QuarkXPress, then print to a 
PostScript printer, you may find that the underline is thicker 
than it should be, and that the spaces between lines are wider 
than they should be. If you find this is a problem, do not use 
the underline feature.


Printing the Holiday Pi Font on an HP LaserJet(R) Printer
---------------------------------------------------------
If you find entire lines of text are missing when you print the 
Holiday Pi font to an HP LaserJet printer, try saving your 
document, then exiting from the application. Open the application 
again, and print only the page containing the missing lines.

If you haven't done so already, you can also try this: Open
the Windows Control Panel and double-click Printers. Highlight 
your printer and click Setup, then Options. Click the Print 
TrueType as Graphics check box. Try printing again.


Printing the Holiday Pi Font in WordPerfect(R) for Windows
----------------------------------------------------------
In WordPerfect for Windows, if you use Holiday Pi characters 
set in point sizes from 96 to 103 point and you have a dot 
matrix printer with an Epson(R) 24-pin driver (Epson24.drv), 
you may get this error message when you print: "System Error 
Divide By Zero or Overflow Error." 

To solve this problem, change the point size to below 96 point 
or above 103 point. Or if your printer emulates a dot matrix 
printer other than the Epson 24-pin, set your printer up for 
that emulation.


Font Embedding
--------------
Bitstream's TrueType fonts support the Windows 3.1 font embedding 
feature. This feature lets you take a document created with a set 
of fonts on one computer, and print it from another computer 
without having to install the fonts on the other computer.

Windows 3.1 supports three kinds of font embedding.

Read Only: Lets you print and preview the document on the second 
computer; however, you can't make changes to the document.

Read/Write Installable: You can make changes to the document 
on the second computer. From the second computer, you can also 
install the fonts into Windows 3.1 directly from the document, 
which means you can use them in other documents. 

Read/Write Editable: You can make changes to the document on 
the second computer. However, you cannot use the fonts in other 
documents on the second computer.

Bitstream's TrueType fonts are Read/Write Editable.

At the time this file was written, only Microsoft PowerPoint(TM) 
3.0 supported font embedding. However, PowerPoint only supports 
Read/Write Installable fonts. Since Bitstream's TrueType fonts 
are Read/Write Editable, the fonts in this pack will not work 
with PowerPoint's font embedding feature.

Contact your application vendor for information on the 
application's support for font embedding.


Kerning
-------
Bitstream's TrueType fonts support kerning (the ability to 
tighten or loosen the white space between pairs of characters). 
However, at the time this file was written, most Windows 
applications did not support the kerning of TrueType characters. 
Contact your application vendor for information on the 
application's support for kerning characters in TrueType fonts.


Character Set
-------------
TrueType fonts, except Pi fonts, use the Windows ANSI Extended 
character set. (Pi fonts are made up of font-specific, specially 
designed characters.)

The Windows Character Map accessory shows the characters in a 
character set and how to access them. See your Microsoft Windows 
3.1 user guide for more information.


Screen Fonts at Small Point Sizes
---------------------------------
If you use font sizes of eight or seven point or below, Windows 
substitutes a resident font on the screen instead of the TrueType 
font you selected. However, the fonts print correctly.


EGA Display Monitors
--------------------
EGA monitors have a lower screen resolution than VGA monitors. 
This means that fonts do not look as smooth on EGA monitors as on 
VGA monitors. However, the fonts print correctly.
