Problem

Solutions: Many customers would like to make additional Automatic Font Changes to the .PRS file. This can be done easily if they have not made any other AFCs. If other AFCs have been made and others are made later, the user must update the .PRS file. This, however, deletes all AFCs made previously. There is a way around it. To do so, take the following steps.

1.      Type PTR at the DOS prompt.
2.      On the blank PTR screen, press F7.
3.      Type Y for save, then enter a new .ALL filename (TEST.ALL). This creates and empty .ALL file. (Do not exit PTR).
4.      Retrieve the .PRS file of the printer being used (Shift-F10, F5).
5.      Press 4 to Copy.
6.      Type TEST.ALL for the Destination.
7.      Clear the screen, staying in PTR (F7, N, N).
8.      Retrieve TEST.ALL.
9.      Cursor to the printer, press ENTER.
10.      Cursor to FONTS, press ENTER.

11.      Cursor to the Font Library, press ENTER.
12.      Cursor to the Base Font, press 1 to Add.
13.      Press ENTER to make a model.
14.      Enter a name for the new font. Relate it to it's typeface and purpose.
15.      Cursor to the new font, press ENTER.
16.      Cursor to Size and Spacing Information.
17.      Change the cell height and font height to the desired point size.
18.      Press F7
19.      Cursor to Miscellaneous Questions.
20.      Unmark the scalable option using the backspace key. Press F7 twice.

21.      Cursor to the base font, press ENTER.
22.      Cursor to Automatic Font Changes, press ENTER.
23.      Select the desired feature, press ENTER.
24.      Select the font just created. Mark it with an asterisk.
25.      Press F7 the Alt-F7. Save the file and exit to WP.
