Tasprint QL was written by [[qlwiki:Tasman Software Limited]] and is advertised as 'the style-writer'.  Basically, it takes text files (such as those which can be exported by Quill) and allows you to edit the text file on-screen and change portions of the text to use different font styles.


The fonts are generated using the built in UDG font codes on many printers (which have built in fonts!).  Although the different fonts are not shown on screen during the editing process, you can see special characters which mark the start and end of each font change.


Tasprint QL comes with 5 different fonts which can be applied to a document - 


  * Compacta - heavy and bold font, good for emphasis
  * Data Run - a futuristic script
  * Lectura Light - clean and easily read font
  * Median - a business font
  * Palace Script - a distinctive, flowing font (that looks to be joined up writing).


You can also add one of four styles to each font - normal, inverse, boxed or underlined.
