26AUG03 - The HVRASTER.ZIP Package
===============================================================

---------------------------------------------------------------
The HVRASTER.ZIP archive should contain the following files:-
---------------------------------------------------------------

   ------------------------------------------------------------
   HVRASTER.TXT - This information file
   FONTHELP.TXT - Installing Windows' fonts - and web links to
                  information on fonts
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   BKUPFONS.BAT - Batch file to Backup Windows FON Files
   INSTFONS.BAT - Batch file to Install HVFont FON Files
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   HVRaster.FON - HVRaster editor fonts (with dotted ASCII32)
   HVRaster.FO_ - Alternative HVRaster editor fonts
   ------------------------------------------------------------


---------------------------------------------------------------
To install the Windows HVRaster Font
---------------------------------------------------------------

You may be able to use the batch file INSTFONS.BAT to install the
font if:-
  your Windows setup is reasonably standard, and
  you have not previously installed the same HVFont, and
  you are comfortable with the command line and batch files.

You will have to reboot Windows before it will recognize the font
if they are installed with the batch file.

Alternatively, you can use the normal Windows font installation
procedure:-

1. UNZIP the archive into one directory and copy the file
   HVRaster.FON into a DIFFERENT working directory. (Do NOT
   use the Windows' font directory as either the UNZIP
   target - or working - directory).

2. Go to Control Panel, select the Fonts applet, and select
   View, Details, to see the Font Name and Filename.

3. If you are installing the licenced version, first REMOVE any
   evaluation version previously installed. To do this:-
     Select the font "HVRaster",
     Right Click for a Context Menu and select Delete,
     Confirm the request to remove the font.

4. While in the Fonts applet, select File, Install New Font.
   Navigate to the working directory and select and install the
   HVRaster.FON file. (The font name will appear as "HVRaster").


---------------------------------------------------------------
To install the alternative Windows HVRaster Font
---------------------------------------------------------------

The .FO_ file is equivalent to the corresponding .FON file
except that it uses a standard blank SPACE character.

If you find the "grid" effect of the dotted SPACE character
confusing, you can install this font instead. To do so:-

1. Make sure you have backup copies of both versions of the
   font files in addition to the copies in the Windows's Font
   directory.

2. Copy the file HVRaster.FO_ into a working directory and
   rename it (change the extensions from .FO_ to .FON)
   with the command:-
     REN  *.FO_  *.FON

3. Go to Control Panel, select the Fonts applet, and select
   View, Details, so you can see both the Font Name and
   Filename.

4. Proceed as before to remove the evaluation or standard 
   version of the font and install the alternative set.


NOTE:
We strongly urge you to TRY the standard HVFont file as
distributed - for at least a week - before switching to the
alternative. (Most HVFont users report that the odd visual
sensation produced by the "dots" quickly disappears, to be
replaced by a recognition of the visual advantage that the
"grid" provides in coding, data entry, etc.)
