[comp.sys.mac] FaceLift Announcement

dubois@uwmacc.UUCP (Paul DuBois) (01/13/87)

FaceLift is an application that allows font, point size and
type style information in MacWrite documents to be reformatted.  This
is essentially the same task performed by Font Changer, but allows
many transformations to be performed in parallel.  It works with
MacWrite 2.2 or 4.5 documents.  Documents may be reformatted in place
or to another document.  Reformatting specifications may be saved to
a file and reused.  The formats contained in a document may be pulled
and used as a basis for the specifications - no need to guess.

You can use it, for instance, to convert LaserWriter formatted documents
for ImageWriter, or vice-versa.  The FaceLift document itself, however,
is trivially formatted (one font only - Times), so that MacWrite is
perfectly adequate for transforming to an ImageWriter font.  It comes
in handy for such things as the TransSkel document, which can be redone
for ImageWriter with the following map:

     Input                    Output
Font     Size  Style   Font       Size Style
Times   | Any | Any -> New York | Any | Any
Courier | 10  | Any -> Monaco   | 9   | Any


FaceLift is public domain and may be redistributed without restriction,
as usual.  A public outcry will produce a source posting, as usual.

It's been posted both to info-mac and mod.mac.binaries, and should
show up shortly.
