Conversion: TTF to .SFS (or .SFP) for HP printers

#1	recovered Posted by recovered on 2006-01-09 10:57:37 \| quote \|

Hey again

Some might know - how do I convert a TTF font to .SFS (or .SFP) without paying for this one for example: http://www.alltype.biz/custom.php.

Or, MAYBE this alternative: I've converted them to .PFB, how do I now convert them to .SFS or .SFP?

Thanks!!

In the Font creator help file I found this:

The PCL5 window allows you to edit the PCL5 data. The PCL5 data is not required, so it's good practice not to include it. Including PCL5 data for OpenType fonts with TrueType outlines is strongly discouraged[/color:2ab82cf97b][/b:2ab82cf97b].

Note: Extra information on many of these fields can be found in the HP PCL 5 Printer Language Technical Reference Manual available from Hewlett-Packard Boise Printer Division.

Dood you rock ;-) Let me check! BTW, I thought that converting ttf to sfp or sfs might help but thats not the way to go. Plus I ran into: http://www.xywrite.com/xy3/print/xy3_printer.htm
but these .prn files for HP seem incomplete - the font is not there...just some info or parameters, and thats why I gope for conversion or something similar, to get the bitmap based version of the fonts.

Thanks again - if you find please anything let me! I've posted to HP support forum for HP laser jet II (or III) but no response - weird.
