What is it? A. Printer's Apprentice is a font management utility for the Windows 3.1 operating environment. It helps you manage all your TrueType and Adobe Type 1 fonts by printing inventory sheets (3 flavors!), ANSI charts, keyboard layouts, and specimen sheets. It was noted as the *BEST* Windows font utility by PC Magazine (10/27/92) and features one of the sharpest interfaces around. Q. So... What's New with 5.5? A. Printer's Apprentice has been built with a faster compiler, works better with TrueType, has a sharper interface, faster loading and printing, and two new font inventory sheets. Q. How do I install this program real quick? A. Unzip the PA55.ZIP to a new diskette or directory and run INSTALL.EXE. This will decompress the files and copy them to the right places on your hard drive. Q. How do I remove the program if I need more space on my machine? A. 1) Remove the contents of your PA directory 2) Remove the following files from your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory: 3dLABEL.VBX CMDIALOG.VBX SS3D2.VBX THREED.VBX KEYSTAT.VBX PICCLIP.VBX 3) Remove the Printer's Apprentice icon from your Program Manager groups. Q. What happened to the documentation file? A. Everything has been placed in a Windows help file. Just click the Help menu item or the question mark icons... Q. Is this program still shareware? A. Yes! Yes! Yes! This software has been in development for a long time... Please take the time to compensate the author. Send a check for $20 ($25 foreign) payable to Lose Your Mind Development at the above address. Q. What is the upgrade policy? A. When you register, I will send you a code and a certificate. Upon release of major upgrades, I will notify you with a post card. The cost of duplication and mailing has gotten out of hand, so upgrades will cost a nominal $5 if you need a new diskette. Or you can wait to find the program on a local BBS. The codeword will always work for future editions. Q. Anything else? A. Yes! I am always open to suggestions! This software is made for anyone who cares about type. Designers, DTPers, layout artists, print shops, publishers, etc, this sofware is for you. If you have any suggestions, spec sheet ideas, interface notes, let me know. 75% of the improvements in this release came from users. This is your program! It is easiest to reach me at home, after 7pm EST.
