ZUMA FONTS OVERVIEW Zuma Fonts are high quality typestyles desidned to satisfy the requirements for professional video and printed output. Your AMIGA provides a System Font Library of typestyles, named Topaz, Ruby, Diamond, etc. that can be used with certain programs, such as Notepad, to create lettering on the screen or printer. Zuma Fonts are compatible with this System Font Library format, so you can use them with most any program that uses System Fonts. This volume of Zuma Fonts provides 3 typestyles, with each typestyle in 6 sizes, from which to choose. Tach typestyle and size id provided in two versions of different proportions so that the letters will look correct on low (320 x 200), medium (640 x 200) and high (640 x 400) resolution screens. Styles prefixed with "m", eg. "mPica", are designed for medium resolution screens. Styles without the "m" prefix are designed for low and high resolution screens. Using a style designed for medium resolution with a high or low resolution screen results in an extended style (the width is stretched). Using a high or low style with a medium resolution screen results in a condensed style (the width is narrowed). Styles prefixed with "c", eg. "cPica". contain a typestyle larger than 99 lines high. This naming convention is necessary because some programs using ZUMA FONTS do not display the size correctly if there are more than 2 digits required. These very large sizes are usually used with high resolution screens. To make it easy for you to group your favorite typestyles into private libraries, we've provided THE FONT LIBRARIAN (tm) program. With THE FONT LIBRARIAN you can create a library of fonts for medium resolution screens, or a library of fonts in a single style in all resolutions, or even a library containing typestyles from different volumes of ZUMA FONTS as well as some from the System Font Library. All you need to do is: 1. CREATE your own library of typestyles by naming a library, choosing typestyles and sized you like, and saving it onto a disk. 2. Choose the library you want programs using fonts to USE as their source of typestyles. It's that easy! Have fun using your Zuma Font libraries to product beautiful video and printed graphics. From the folks at Zuma Group, Inc. ZUMA FONTS and THE FONT LIBRARIAN require only the basic Amiga configuration of 256k of memory and internal disk drive. NOTE: Please make a backup copy of your ZUMA FONTS disk! STARTING UP 1. Start your AMIGA using the Kickstart and Workbench disks. 2. Place the ZUMA FONTS disk containing THE FONT LIBRARIAN in any drive and double click on its disk icon. 3. A window containing THE FONT LIBRARIAN icon will open. Double click on this icon to open LIBRARIAN'S window. 4. Access the LIBRARIAN'S commands by pressing the mouse menu (right) button while its pointer is over the word Project on the menu bar. 5. Familarize yourself with all the screens displayed by THE FONT LIBRARIAN by CREATING a library. **** MENU COMMANDS **** CREATE --Build a new font library-- 1. Place the disk which will contain the new library in any drive. 2. Select CREATE from the LIBRARIAN'S menu. The Library Name requester will appear on the screen with a box containing a drive designation (df0: or df1:). 3. Click in this box and enter the drive containing the library disk and the name of your new library. The library name must immediately follow the ":" after the drive number, with no space between. Do not include a directory path indicator ("/") in the name, as the LIBRARIAN does automatically. EXAMPLE: If you wish to name your library MyLib and place it on the disk in drive 1, then the box should contain: df1:MyLib. 4. Once you've entered the drive number and name, proceed by pressing the RETURN key or clicking on the OK box. Click the CANCEL box to abandon the creation. 5. Proceeding, the Style requester will appear on the screen. The Drive Select box at the top shows on which drive the LIBRARIAN found the font style names which are displayed in the twelve boxes below. If no styles were found on the disk in this drive, the boxes will be ghosted white. You may change the selected drive by clicking the Drive Select box, entering a new drive number, and pressing the RETURN key. If you change the disk in the selected drive, you must click on the Drive Select box and press the RETURN key to tell the LIBRARIAN to look at this new disk. If you are using only one drive, don't worry. You may remove your library destination disk not to get fonts from other disks. Whether you have one or many drives, you may change disks or drives at any time during the creation process except when the red disk drive lights are on. 6. Now you're ready to build your library. Click on a box containing a font style you may wish to include in your library. 7. The LIBRARIAN now displays the Size requester. The bar graphs show the heights of the styles you choose to view. Click the size bar to select the style size. The bar will turn orange to indicate that it is selected. Click on it again to de-select it. When you've finished selecting, click on the OK box and the selected sizes for that typestyle will be added to your library. 8. Once the copying process has been completed, you can select more styles, repeating instructions 6 and 7. When you're finished, click the DONE box. Clicking the CANCEL box terminates the creation process. USE --Programs will use the library you pick with this command as their source of typestyles-- 1. Select USE from the LIBRARIAN menu. The Library requester will appear on the screen. As with the Style requester, the Drive Select box indicates which drive the library names displayed in the twelve boxes below it were found. Use the Drive Select box to change drives or disks as before. 2. Click the box containing the name of the library you wish your programs to use. Note that the first box contains a disk drive designation. If you choose this box, your programs will use only those typestyles and sizes found on that disk's font library. 3. Programs will use the library or disk you've selected until either you select another or you restart your Amiga. 4. The disk containing the selected library may be removed from the drive once your selection is made. The system will ask for it when it is needed. VIEW --See the typestyles and sized in libraries-- 1. Select VIEW from the menu. Select the library to view from the Library requester. The Style requester then shows the styles contained within that library. COPY --Duplicate an existing library-- 1. Select COPY from the menu. Select the library to copy from the Library requester. 2. The Library Name requester that you used with CREATE will appear. Place the disk you wish to copy in any drive. Enter this drive and the destination library name in the box, just as with the CREATE command. The copy will begin when you hit RETURN or click the OK box. Click CANCEL to do that. RENAME --Change the name of an existing library-- 1. Select RENAME from the menu. The procedure for this command is the same as the COPY command except that you may not RENAME a library to a different disk. DELETE --Erase an existing library-- 1. Select DELETE from the menu. From the Library requester, choose the library you wish to erase. You will be given a chance to change your mind before the deletion takes place. 2. You should not attempt to DELETE the library last chosen with the USE command as the library will not be fully erased. Pick another library with the Use command first.
