Corporate PMfax/Voice for OS/2 User Groups Offer
from PMFAX the fax folks

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FontFolder 3.0 Available
Cliff Cullum 75013,1701

Version 3.0 of FontFolder, the OS/2 Font Manager, is now available for
general use. Download it from OS2BVEN, Lib 1, as FNTF30.ZIP.

If you have more than a handful of fonts, you need FontFolder. Simple
point-and-click (and now drag-and-drop) font installation, font browsing,
printing, and more make it easy to work with large numbers of fonts.

NEW IN VERSION 3.0

TRUETYPE SUPPORT - FontFolder now supports TrueType fonts when used with
Warp 4. TrueType support is seamlessly integrated into FontFolder. You
don't have to do anything different to use TrueType fonts, and you can mix
and match Type 1 and TrueType fonts in all your libraries and fontpacks.
And you will always know which is which because FontFolder adds a Type 1 or
TrueType icon alongside each font to identify it.

DRAG AND DROP SUPPORT - Version 3 brings the simplicity of drag-and-drop
operations to fonts in OS/2. Installing and uninstalling fonts has never
been easier. Drag and drop any Type 1 or TrueType font file on the
FontFolder Installed Fonts List and the font is installed in OS/2. Drag the
font from the Installed Fonts List to the FontFolder shredder and the font
is uninstalled. Open the FontFolder Font Browser and you can drag and drop
any font file on the Browser window to see what the font looks like. No
need to install the font or even register it with FontFolder. And of course
drag-and-drop is supported for all the operations involving FontFolder's
Libraries and FontPacks as well.

FONT SPECIFICATIONS WINDOW - If you've ever wished to see more detailed
information about a font, now you can. There is a new Font Specs window
associated with the Browser that will show you a selection of the technical
details that OS/2 reports about a font. The top half of the window shows
details about the character drawings such as the height of ascenders and
descenders, "x" height (lower case character height), and other parameters
that characterize the character drawings. The lower half displays what code
pages the font was designed to support, what OS/2 thinks are the styles of
the font, such as weight (bold, semi-bold, etc.), width (compressed,
extended, etc.), and things such as whether the font is an italic style and
if it is monospaced.

NOTE TO UPGRADERS:

FontFolder now comes with an install program. You can no longer just unzip
it directly into the final directory. Unzip it to a temporary directory and
use the Install program to install it.

Cliff Cullum [FontFolder]

Oops! Forgot to include that FontFolder 3.0 is a free upgrade to registered
users.
