Sample file
Printing a Sample file allows you to print the contents of a
text file using the current font at any given point size.
To print a Sample file:
1. Choose “Print” from the File menu.
2. Select “Sample file” from the Sample type menu.
3. Enter the desired point size or use the default
setting of 36 points.
4. Click “Print.”
At this time Fontographer asks you to select the text file
that you would like to print.
PostScript file
The PostScript file option allows you to choose custom
PostScript samples. Fontographer then sends this file to the
printer along with the font. As in the Sample file print option,
the file is chosen after the Print button is selected. This
option is only available with PostScript Printers.
Several PostScript text files are provided with Fontographer
4.1. You may use them as is, or you may edit them with any
text editor to define your own custom print sample.
Key map
The Key map option allows you to print a sample for the
entire font or only characters that you have selected. If you
select the “All characters” option, Fontographer prints
pages containing all the characters in the font. The printed
pages consist of rows of characters, along with their
offsets, widths, and corresponding key stroke codes.
Fontographer gives you the option of showing Decimal,
