SFWARE FONT UTILITIES gives you the tools to download, rotate, compress,
expand, view, and perform special effects on the PCL softfonts used with
your Hewlett-Packard laser printer.  SFWARE is not a collection of
fonts, but a set of font manipulation utilities.  It can even be set up
to access the utilities from an integrated menu system.

If you don't already know, softfonts are fonts stored in files on your
computer and sent to the memory of your laser printer each time you turn
it on.  Downloading softfonts to a laser printer is something lots of
programs do, but SFWARE does a lot more.  It lets you take any existing
font and use SFWARE's special effects to create some new, eye-catching
fonts.

The special effects available through SFWARE include bold, fill, convert
to fixed spacing, halftone, hollow, invert, mirror, outline, convert to
proportional spacing, resize, reverse, shade, shadow, slant, stripe,
3-D, hollow-3-D, and filled-3-D effects.  The effects can be tailored
and combined in countless ways.  For example, you could take an existing
18-point Times font and make it hollow, slant it, and put a 3-D shadow
behind it.  Before you actually use these fonts you can view them
on-screen, or print reference sheets.

Another added feature is the ability to use fonts on older HP laser
printers.  Older printers don't normally support compressed fonts, but
SFWARE can expand them for easy use.  In addition, for older HP printers
that won't do this automatically, SFWARE can change a portrait font to
landscape.  This is a quick, easy way to create a big font collection
from a small set of fonts.
