MORE INFORMATION

[FONTS] Section
===============

The [FONTS] section consists of two types of entries: Count and Fn.

Count      = The number of TrueType fonts that are on the system,
             starting from 0.

Fn         = Font information for each font on the system, with the
             first font that is loaded given a starting number of F0.

Example
-------

[Fonts]
count=2
F0="Arial", "Arial", C:\WIN31\SYSTEM\ARIAL.FOT, 02110604020202020204,
0001000000000000, 00bf  , 00000000  , 01900040
F1="Courier New","Courier
New",C:\WIN31\SYSTEM\COUR.FOT,02070309020205020404,80c9000000000000,0
bf,00000000,01900040

Explanation
-----------

Fn=name, logname, FOTpath, ajPANOSE, awGroup[4], wFlags,
dwFileSize,wWt:wSeln

Fn         = The order in the list in which the font was loaded.

name       = The name that the TrueType font uses in the font menus.

logname    = The TrueType font group that the font is a member of. For
             example, all Arial fonts (Arial, Arial Bold, Arial
             Narrow, Arial Narrow Bold) will show as Arial.

FOTpath    = Path to the .FOT file.

ajPANOSE   = 10 2-digit decimal numbers that represent the 10-digit
             hexidecimal PANOSE ID number. For example, the TrueType
             font Arial has the PANOSE ID number

                02110604020202020204

             which is read by the Font Assistant as:

                2B64222224

awGroup    = Which group(s) that the font belongs to.

wFlags     = This is a number that Font Assistant uses to see if:

             1. The font was found in WIN.INI during a resync.
             2. The font is active.
             3. The font record is dirty and needs to be rewritten.
             4. It has found a PANOSE ID number in the TrueType file.
             5. The record contains a valid PANOSE number.
             6. The font can be embedded.
             7. The font can be edited.
             8. The font can be installed.
        9. The font supports a particular type of embedding.
                Normally the embedding type is none, print, or preview.

dwFileSize = The size of the TrueType file. Not currently used.
				

wWt        = The weight of the font; bold, thin, and so on.

wSel n     = Selection from TrueType OS/2 table.


[GROUPS] Section
================

The [GROUPS] section consists of two types of entries, Count and Gn,
where "n" equals the group number.

Example
-------

[Groups]
Count=2
G0= "<all font>",    00,     1d,     03
G1="New Group 1",    01,      3,     03

Explanation
-----------

Gn=name,wGRNUM, WFonts, wFlags

name       = Group name.

wGRNUM     = When the group was created in relationship with the other
             groups.

wFonts     = The number of fonts in the group.

wFlags     = Tests to see if the group is active or inactive.


[PREF] Section
=============

The [PREF] section consists of eleven types of entries.

Example
-------

[PREF]
Scale=0
Show Sample=1
Sample Size=18
Sort By=0
Show Fonts As=1
PANOSE Sort Name=
Sample=PANOSE A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z  a
b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
! ? . , ; : @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) { } [ ] < >
Left=101
Top=122
Right=698
Bottom=477

Explanation
-----------

Scale      = If Scale is 0, Font Assistant verifies that a matching
             .FOT file is available for each font. If it is not 0,
             Font Assistant assumes that every font has a matching
             .FOT file and doesn't perform the search.

Show Sample= If Show Sample is 0, the Sample Window is off. If it is
             not 0, the Sample Window is on.

Sample Size= The point size of the fonts that are displayed in the
             Sample window.

Sort By    = 0 = Sort by name.
             1 = Sort by family*.
             2 = Sort by serif.
             3 = Sort by weight*.
             4 = Sort by width.
             5 = Sort by contrast*.
             6 = Sort by X-height*.
             7 = Sort by PANOSE ID number.
             8 = Sort by ability to be embedded.

             * These numbers can be set by editing the FAST.INI file.

Show Font
As         = If Show Font As is 0, only the active fonts are listed.
             If it is not 0, all the fonts are listed. To change
             this number, you need to edit the FAST.INI file.

Left       = Windows coordinates when Font Assistant was last shut down.

Top        = Windows coordinates when Font Assistant was last shut down.

Right      = Windows coordinates when Font Assistant was last shut down.

Bottom     = Windows coordinates when Font Assistant was last shut down.

PANOSE
Sort Name = This name is used to sort the fonts by similarity, if the
            last sort was a PANOSE sort.

Sample    = Text of editable Sample window. Carriage return/linefeed is
            encoded as "\377\377". Use this code to fit multiple sample
            lines on the "Sample=" line.
