= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word versions 4.00 and 5.00 support Hewlett-Packard’s AG, or Helvetica Headline, set of downloadable fonts with the printer driver HPDWNHHP.PRD. This printer driver is found on the Supplemental Printers Disk for Word versions 4.00 and 5.00.

To use these fonts, you must first run Hewlett-Packard’s MFONT.EXE program, which converts the shipped superfont files (with .SFF extensions) to normal downloadable font files.

Word versions 4.00 and 5.00 support only the USASCII symbol set version of these fonts. Therefore, when running MFONT, you should indicate that you want the USASCII symbol set and let MFONT use the default font filenames. These default names have OH, HC, or SF prefixes (for Helvetica Outline, Helvetica Condensed, and Serifia), and use .USP extensions.

Support for the AG font set is also available for Word version 5.50. The conversion process with the MFONT.EXE program listed above is also required.

For more information, see Hewlett-Packard’s “Makefont” manual, which is supplied with the AG font set.
