LQ Fonts
Depending upon which package you've purchased, either 7
or
45
LQ
fonts
have been supplied with Perfect Print LQ. These fonts, when used with the
GEOS
LQ
Print System, provide the best possible printing results. These
fonts can also
be
altered with the supplied font utilities. More information
concerning these programs is given in Section 6. Please read these sections
before attempting to alter
or
create your own
LQ
fonts.
How the
LQ
Fonts Work
The
GEOS
LQ
Print System requires larger point sizes than geoWrite in
order
to
deliver improved results.
If
you're using, for instance, the normal
University
10
point
in your document (not University LQ), the Print
System will use University 24 point. The printout, however, will be in low
resolution.
If
you're satisfied with these results and only work with smaller
point sizes, then 24 point will
be
sufficient. The Print System, however,
was developed
to
produce high resolution printouts with the best possible
quality. In order to accomplish this, the system needs larger fonts. These
LQ
fonts are contained on the supplied disks. When possible, use the
LQ
fonts
with the larger point sizes
of
30, 36, and 45 in your documents. These
ensure the highest resolution as the letters
will be smoothed and rounded.
If
your text
is
written, for example, in 12 point, the printout in triple density
fits the
LQ
pOint size
36
exactly. This replacement
of
point sizes may
change
the
position
of
the text in the printout slightly. Therefore, care
should be taken with tabulations and page breaks, especially
if
the gradual
sizing option in the print menu
is
switched off.
You should not attempt
to
use the point sizes 30, 36,
or
45 for normal text,
even though some may appear in the font menu. geoWrite'doesn't handle
these
sizes very well. They are, however, good for titles. They appear on the
screen in
BSW
9 point, but print out
in
the correct font and point size.
We
advise
care
when using these sizes
in
your text as the page end in the
printout
will
be
different
than
it
appears
on the screen.
