Re: Incredible Disappearing Speedos

[SysOp]

I took a look at your messages from last week and did some digging around and
was able to come up with a few answers. 1) The UO setting: You are correct,
this is loaded into memory by the printer driver. If you subsequently load
another printer drvier wtih a different UO setting, the new setting will take
affect. This cannot be issued from the command line. 2) The Symbol Set for
Speedo fonts is the 23Z symbol set which refers to the special character set in
the back of the Command Reference Guide. If your Speedo fonts load correctly,
this Symbol Set should be referenced. I would be interested to know if these
fonts print some of the special characters mentioned in that character set. 3)
Loading the HP4 and getting 16 fonts. These are the internal HP4 fonts. I
would be surprised if these printed as true HP fonts, as a test try printing in
the Coronet font. This should be a script font. It will probably match to one
of your XyWrite Speedo's such as Dutch. 4) PRINT.TMP I don't believe we are
leaving this on the hard drive any longer, instead it is deleted as soon as the
print job is done. I don't know of any command to change this setting, but I
will hunt around for it. 5) I did a print test on a true blue HP2 and was able
to scale the Bitstream fonts that XyWrite supplied. My next suggestion would
be to extract (or download) a new HP2 driver and try this. With an
unadulterated copy of this file, you should be able to see all of your Speedo
fonts and scale them as well.  Please let me know how this turns out.
