HP Font Files Created When Printing to File

 * }

Q86769

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 3.1

-

SUMMARY
When you print to file using the HPPCL4 driver included in Microsoft Windows 3.1, a font summary file is created. This file includes a list of all device fonts, soft fonts, and cartridge fonts. The filename is the driver name with an extension consisting of a letter and two numbers. For example:


 * HPPCL.P00
 * HPDSKJET.P01

MORE INFORMATION
Applications can request font information from UNIDRV.DLL for display purposes. Rather than have UNIDRV.DLL check the WIN.INI file each time for this information, it creates a list in a font summary file. This file is changed every time you change cartridges in the driver, add/delete soft fonts, and so on. The next time an application asks for this font information, UNIDRV.DLL responds with this previously generated list. The performance gain is directly proportionate to the number of soft fonts installed.
