Does anyone know of a program that will read the info about an HP soft font and
insert the info into an ALL or PRS file?  There are several utilities that will
give character widths, point size, cell height and width, and load strings. But
they must be added using the PTR program.  Often times, you still have to
spend several hours tweaking the font info in the PRS or ALL files to get it to
work correctly.

I recently saw how Multimate scans a directory for fonts and will create their
equivalent of a PRS file through their installation program.  Is there some
reason WPC has not developed this? Is it available through 3rd party software?
If not, consider this a plea for someone to develop such a program.
