Does anyone know of an ftp site or other source of 4x fonts for the HP
deskjet? I only have a 48pt Times font, which limits the range of
options somewhat, and it seems that there must be dedicated people out
in netland somewhere who have created large versions for the commonly
used Mac fonts.

Assuming the DeskJet uses standard bitmap fonts, you could use the fonts from a LaserWriter SC. I believe there is a good selection up to 96 points. Another option, if you have access to a LaserWriter, is to use FontSizer to generate a bitmap of any Postscript font at any size. -Fred ______________________________________________________________________________ | Fred Hollander | | | Computer Science Center | "Ha ha ha ha ha ha, Ah what a day!" | | Texas Instruments, Inc. | -- Joker | | Internet: hollander@ti.com | | | Telnet: 214/995-0696 | The above statements are my own and not | | AppleLink: D1392 | representative of Texas Instruments. | ______________________________________________________________________________

Microsoft Powerpoint comes with a set of "presentation fonts" containing large sizes for Times and Helvetica. I believe that the largest size is 96 points, which would let you generate 24 point output. I've used these fonts with a DeskJet with very good results. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Barry Wolman | barry@s66.prime.com Principal Technical Consultant | 492 Old Connecticut Path Prime Computer | Framingham, MA 01701 | 508/626-1700, ext. 4187 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nothing in this posting reflects an official position of Prime Computer.
