I am able to make APL characters----the APL font----
appear on my screen. I am not able to print them out.
A friend who has solved this problem has given me a
set of 6 files off his system, obviously involved with
the printing of those characters. Actually, being able to
print the entire extended ASCII character set would, I
believe, solve the problem. I have his files available
on my website if one of you MVPs feels he (or she) can
tell me how to install them.

Further, I have added the six new APL fonts to what I see
when I go Start>>Control Panel>>Fonts. The icons and descriptions
for the new ones look just like the 150 regular Windows fonts.
Now how do I get to work with these?

Thank you.

Are the fonts actually installed....

Once in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder, from the Toolbar, select File, Install
Fonts.

Yes, Cari, I believe they are. I've seen them in the big long list....
at the top, actually, since they all start with 'APL....'.
I'm a little at a loss as to how to make use of them. I'd
kind of like to see them when I go Windows Explorer>>APLPC>>
apl.exe and have the characters jump onto the screen (and
even print!) as the characters that the APL keyboard used to
create.

I do not have an APL workspace or program installed so I can't check to see
what your particular problem might be using the APL font in that
environment. However, I downloaded a free APL Unicode implementation from
http://www.vector.org.uk/v161/phil161.htm

And installed that. It operates as a Windows-installed TrueType font should.
To invoke the special APL operators/Symbols, you have to use Insert Symbol
and go to the Miscellaneous Technical sub-set. In word, Auto-Correct or
Auto-Insert entries or keyboard shortcuts could be set up for them.

How it would all work in the APL environment, I cannot say. I was used to
getting these symbols by use of the usual uppercase keys as reassigned to
them. But that was then and, on an APL-dedicated remote Selectric II
time-sharing terminal equipped with a purpose-made APL keyboard, on an IMB
630 mainframe.
