WordPerfect's DrawPerfect Incorporates Bitstream Speedo Type Technology June 23, 1992 -- Bistream Inc. today announced that the Bitstream Speedo font scaling technology has been integrated into WordPerfect Corporation's next generation DrawPerfect program. DrawPerfect is a powerful and popular drawing application combining unlimited design options with ease of use. DrawPerfect includes the Speedo technology as well as a range of popular typefaces from the Bitstream Library. Users will be able to purchase additional typefaces from the library. Bitstream will be expanding its Library of Speedo typefaces to almost 1,100 typefaces later this fall. "We are very excited that WordPerfect, an industry leader, has chosen Bitstream to provide the typographic solution for the next generation of DrawPerfect," stated Jim Sole, President of Bitstream. "Thousands of WordPerfect users have found Speedo technology, in the form of Bitstream FaceLift for WordPerfect, to be the perfect type solution for their word processing needs. Now DrawPerfect users will be able to share these same fonts and create outstanding drawings, illustrations and presentations," concluded Sole. Speedo is a very fast, compact font scaling engine that allows users to create fonts in the desired style and point size without exiting from the software application. Speedo utilizes typographic hints included in Speedo typeface outlines to maintain the highest possible output quality and preserve the integrity of the typeface design. Speedo has established itself as the DOS type standard. Lotus, Borland, IBM, Claris, Ashton-Tate, Micrografx, Spinnaker, XyQuest, Software Publishing Corporation and now WordPerfect Corp. have all incorporated Speedo font scaling as their core type technology. Speedo is also the font generating engine for Bitstream's award-winning FaceLift product line and MakeUp for Windows. Celebrating ten years as an industry leader in typographic quality and innovative technology, Bitstream licenses type and related technology to more than 480 hardware manufacturers and software developers around the world. Bitstream's line of retail products is distributed by an extensive network of dealers in the US and in 18 nations worldwide.
