RE: [sqr-users] Printing in mirror mode

Might take a little effort but I think you could make it work.

There are a number of companies that are willing to create TTF fonts for a
fee.  You would need to purchase a font in the typeface you need (probably
an OCR with barcode capability?).  Be sure to request that they flip the
glyphs horizontally.

There is an open source program to convert TTF fonts to Adobe Type 1 fonts:
http://mheath.customer.netspace.net.au/ttf2pt1/  This provides the PFB and
AFM files of which you will need the AFM.

Copy the new AFM to the same folder as the AFMs, supplied with SQR, for the
Adobe core fonts.

Add references to the new AFM in SQR.ini and pdflib.upr.

In the print routine you'll need to reverse the name and address strings and
right-justify them.  Reference the new font on the PRINT statement.  The
barcode might prove to be more of a challenge if you are currently letting
SQR generate it.

Hi everybody!
Does anyone know how to print in mirror mode using sqr?  I know there was no
such capability back in 1996 but maybe there has been some progress.  We are
on SQR V.4.3.4.  We need to print employee name and address in mirror mode
on a glassine window on the paycheck which, when folded, is readable.
