FontView

FontView™ Description

FontView is a Microsoft Windows™ application that creates and/or modifies fonts for the Scitex Digital Printing Systems, Inc. 2700, 2800, 2900, 3000, 3500, 3600, 6240, 5240 and 5120 ink-jet imaging systems. FontView allows the user to convert Windows TrueType® outline fonts and IBM AFP-format bitmap fonts to Scitex format and also can create new characters by importing graphic images from scanner files or from another Windows application.

FontView also provides tools for viewing and modifying existing Scitex Run-Length format fonts. Characters may be modified, moved to new positions, new character patterns may be substituted and overall changes may be made to the font height and to the position of characters in the matrices. Character patterns may also be cut and pasted from one font to another, allowing reorganization of existing fonts.

FontView has a number of effects that can be applied to the font characters, such as shading in 20 levels of gray, horizontal compression and expansion of the font widths.
