- MACINTOSH INSTALLATION:
-
- To install this font on a Macintosh you need only one of the files in this
- archive:
-
- You must be running the TrueType INIT with System 6.0.7 OR you must be
- running System 7. If you aren’t running one or the other of these, this
- font will not do you any good whatsoever. The contents of the
- GoudyHundred.suit file should be installed into your System file with the
- Font/DA Mover version 4.1 or above. Use the standard procedure for
- installing a bitmap font file. If you have trouble doing this, double check
- that you are using Font/DA Mover version 4.1 or above. When Font/DA Mover
- is running, you will see a number in the top left corner of the menu bar.
- If this number is 4.1 or greater, then you have a version of Font/DA Mover
- that will install the TrueType version of GoudyHundred. If you have
- Suitcase II or MasterJuggler, follow their instructions for the
- installation of new bitmap fonts. Make sure you are running Suitcase II
- version 1.2.9 or greater. No previous versions work properly with System
- 7.

- GoudyHundred TrueType notes:
-
- This typeface is a rendering of Frederick Goudy’s Bertham type. The
- drawings and matrices were lost in a fire in 1939. The complete roman font
- is shown in Goudy’s “Half Century of Type Design” (page 210). The font was
- named for Goudy’s wife, Bertha.
-
- So far as I know there is no companion italic. A very attractive
- alternative is to use small caps in place of italics. I have not provided
- small caps: these are usually provided (in the absence of the real thing)
- by scaling along the y-axis to achieve harmony with the lowercase, and a
- slight enlargement along the x-axis. This, in the case of Bertham, has not
- proved a very attractive approach. Use the normal smallcaps function of
- most word-processor/page-layout programs instead.
-
- The characters in GoudyHundred are faithful recreations of the characters
- in Bertham, save for a few concessions that I have made to 300dpi. I have
- slightly altered some curves so that they will not be the victims of undue
- stair-stepping, or ‘jaggedies’. The only characters that I have created for
- GoudyHundred that were not in Bertham are the AE, OE, ae, oe ligatures,
- and, though they are to my mind successful, I do not insist upon them.
- Likewise, I know of no paragraph symbol for Bertham, so I expropriated one
- from a collection of typographic devices contained in the “Half Century of
- Type Design” (page 241); it seems to work well.
-
- The font included here is in both Macintosh and PC TrueType format. Install
- as you would any other TrueType font using Font/DA Mover 4.1 or later OR
- use System 7’s new facilities for installing fonts without the use of
- Font/DA Mover.
-
-
- NOTE FOR PC USERS:
-
- Install the GOH_____.TTF file using whatever instructions you have
- regarding installation of TrueType fonts in Windows 3.1. If you don’t have
- windows 3.1 or later, sorry, since this font won’t work for you at all.
-
- That's all there is to it. Good luck!
