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 embosser 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 emboss
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. |
