I have a program that I got from the SIMTEL20 archives called DJFONT, by Charles Tyson, version 0.3, that converts LaserJet to DeskJet Soft Fonts. It seems to work in WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, and a couple of other programs I've tried... except... (gasp!)... Microsoft Windows 3.0. I'm using the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet Family Printer Driver version A.03.01, with my DeskJet 500 with 256K configured as a DeskJet PLUS with 256K. The driver thinks all my converted fonts are 0 points high. I can still use them, and even manually type in the correct point size in any application, and they work. But, sticky things happen if I have 12pt Helvetica and 10pt Helvetica and Windows thinks they are both 0pt Helvetica. Does anyone know of a newer version of DJFONT? Or any other program, public domain, shareware, or commercial, that will convert LaserJet fonts to DeskJet format in such a way that Windows properly supports them? - Darius ========================================================================= BITNET: U39648@UICVM | "Don't set fire to strangers."

I'd suggest you look into HP's own Type Director 2.0. A few months ago they ran an intro special for $39.95. The intro package included variants of Times Roman and Helvetica. Supports Windows 3.0. I use it with Laserjet II, but version 2.0 *does* support DeskJet.
