During
installation of the Tiger printer driver, a number of Tiger screen fonts are
installed into the Windows font folder.
These are standard true-type (.ttf) Windows fonts. It is very important for users to choose the
screen font and point size that is converted properly to the desired braille or
other tactile representation.
Each
Tiger screen font appears as standard Roman characters on the screen and
prints with the ViewPlus Pro as braille dot patterns (DotsPlus™). More will be described below.
If
the point size is not set correctly, text may be incorrectly positioned or
overlap other text or graphics. Most Tiger
fonts should be used at a point size of 36.
This gives a vertical spacing on one-half inch. Any fonts intended for use with other spacing
have the point size given explicitly
in its name. For example, the ViewPlus
Translator uses Braille29Tgr font and sets the point size at 29 to ensure the
correct vertical spacing.
Characters
in fonts that are not recognized by the Tiger printer driver will be printed
as graphic images of the visual character.
In this way, tactile images of Roman characters and symbols can be
produced. The point size of the font may
have to be increased. If you wish to
print DotsPlus™ Braille, you must simply change the font to one of the ViewPlus Tiger
fonts, and it is not necessary to use the ViewPlus Translator.
More
information about the fonts included can be found on your installation CD in
the Tiger/Docs folder. |
