Shareware DeskJet Soft Font Package

 This Shareware package contains everything you need to get started with
 soft fonts on a DeskJet EXCEPT the RAM cartridge. The package contains a 
 number of soft fonts for the DeskJet printer, along with a soft font down-
 loader, a font display program, a utility that examines public domain soft 
 fonts, and printer drivers for: WordPerfect 5.1 & 5.0, MS Word 5.X, MS 
 Works, PC Write, & Windows info. It also contains a tutorial that explains
 the basics of using soft fonts. If you use this package beyond the 20 day
 trial period you are expected to register (pay for) it. Registration is
 $25. The install program will even print a registration form for you.

 WARNING, YOU CAN NOT USE SOFT FONTS WITH A DESKJET UNLESS YOU HAVE AT LEAST
 ONE 128K RAM CARTRIDGE.  RAM CARTRIDGES DO NOT COME WITH THE DESKJET.  YOU
 MUST BUY THEM AS AN EXTRA COST OPTION! DESKJET PLUS & 500 OWNERS SHOULD 
 PURCHASE A 256K RAM CARTRIDGE, WHILE DESKJET OWNERS SHOULD GET A 128K RAM 
 CARTRIDGE.

 We think this package of soft fonts, utilities and printer drivers is a 
 very reasonably priced set. No support for these fonts, driver, or util-
 ities is offered to non-registered users. To register fill out the

 Elfring Soft Fonts, P.O. Box 61, Wasco, IL  60183.  708-377-3520  We accept
 checks (payable in US funds and drawn on a US bank), VISA, MC, or cash. 
 When you register we will send you a disk of additional DeskJet soft fonts,
 a current catalog of our DeskJet soft fonts and products, and offer you full

 This package contains an installation program (INSTALL) that will copy and 
 unpack all self-extracting libraries found on this disk. Be sure to read 
 any matching documentation once you have installed the fonts and printer 
 drivers. To run INSTALL just type the disk drive the disk is in followed by

 USING SOFT FONTS

 Before your application program can use soft fonts, it needs information
 about those fonts! Specifically, no application program can use a font 
 unless it knows how to select the font and (for proportionally spaced 
 fonts) the width of each character in the font. THIS IS WHAT THE ENCLOSED 
 PRINTER DRIVERS ARE FOR! If you have an application program that is not 
 covered by a driver in this set, give us a call. We can make drivers for 
 WordStar 5.0 - 6.0, WordStar 2000, Q&A, plus a few other word processors.

 All soft fonts have been specially altered to work with Windows 3.0. Thus 
 you can now use these fonts with PageMaker! Just install the fonts into 
 the Windows environment with the tools supplied with Windows 3.0.
