- EUROPEAN For MS Windows (Version 2.0)
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- EUROPEAN is a shareware Package for MS Windows. It allows the
- user to add those additional letters having various diacritical marks
- as well as several unique characters for European languages using the
- Latin (non-Cyrillic) alphabet. Many of these characters are not
- provided as extended ANSI characters for the standard Arial
- (Universal/Helvetica) and New Times Roman fonts that come with MS
- Windows. These diacritical marks include the grave, acute, tilde,
- dieresis (umlaut), Hungarian umlaut, macron, breve, circumflex, caron,
- ring, cedilla, lenis, asper, and several others with non-household
- names. Special letters include the slash O and L, German double S, and
- AE.
-
- Currently, the following 23 languages are supported:
-
- Albanian Latvian (Lettish)
- Croatian Lithuanian
- Czech Norwegian
- Danish Polish
- Dutch Portuguese
- Esperanto Roumanian
- Estonian Slovak
- Finnish Slovenian
- French Spanish
- German Swedish
- Hungarian Turkish
- Italian
-
-
- EUROPEAN is an economical and affordable alternative to commercial
- foreign language word processors and add-on fonts costing $99 and
- more. Individual characters are mapped in ANSI locations 033 - 114
- (82 uppercase letters), 128 - 213 (85 lowercase letters), while other
- special characters are located at 224 - 231. As in most word
- processors running under MS Windows, single characters are easily
- inserted at the cursor position by using the following key strokes
- using the numeric keypad with the NumLock key on:
- ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^
-
- <ALT> + <0> + <ANSI code>
-
- That is, while pressing the ALT key, enter 0 and then the 3-number
- ANSI code. For example, pressing ALT 0041 gives Ä, while pressing ALT
- 0178 gives ñ. Using shareware packages like FontShow, Printers
- Assistant, FontMonster, OKFonts, TypeView, etc., allows you to
- conveniently make an ANSI map of the characters. For standard letters,
- no having diacritical marks, you then return to using either the Arial
- (Universal/Helvetica), or New Times Roman font. The trial version
- includes only the Helvetica font.
-
- An alternate and more convenient method of entering characters is to
- use Foreigner, which is available as fornr310.zip using anonymous ftp
- from ftp.cica.indiana,edu in the pub/pc/win3/util directory. It is a
- better alternative to MS Windows' charmap utility.
-
- FILES:
-
- This trial package is distributed with the following files:
-
- README.1ST This is the file you are reading
- HISTORY.DOC EUROPEAN ropean revision history
- REGISTER.DOC License information and order form
- EURHELV.TTF EUROPEAN Helvetica Truetype file
- EURHELV.AFM EUROPEAN Helvetica Adobe Font Metrics file
- EURHELV.PFB EUROPEAN Helvetica Postscript file
- EURHELV.PFM EUROPEAN Helvetica Postscript file
-
-
- The registered version of EUROPEAN supports the following
- standard MS Windows typefaces:
-
- Arial/WN Universal (EurHelv)
- Times New Roman (EurTimes)
-
- In addition, the registered version includes a manual describing the
- what diacritical marks/unique characters are available, character set,
- and ANSI map, none of which cannot be properly provided in an ASCII
- file such as this, and a unregistered shareware version of Foreigner.
-
- EurHelv and EurTimes are distributed with both TrueType (.TTF)
- and PostScript/Adobe Type 1 (.AFM, .PFB, and .PFM) files which allow
- scalable point sizes and provide support for printers supported by
- Microsoft Windows. Since EurHelv, and EurTimes fonts are attached to
- the operating system of Microsoft Windows and are not part of a
- particular Word Processor, they are available to any and all Windows
- executable programs which allow for full font selection.
-
- EUROPEAN is available as shareware. It may be examined, tested,
- and tried out for free on a 30-day trial basis for the purpose of
- determining whether EUROPEAN is suitable for your needs. The use of
- unlicensed copies of EUROPEAN, outside of the initial 30-day trial, by
- any person, business, corporation, government agency or any other
- entity is strictly prohibited.
-
- The use of EUROPEAN, except for the initial 30-day trial,
- requires registration (See REGISTER.DOC) and pay a registration fee of
- $10.00 ($US) for the 5-¼" disk (add $1 for the 3-½" disk); Overseas
- add $1 fr airmail. At this price, I won't become a millionaire but it
- will not break **your** bank. It merely helps pay for the commercial
- software used in creating these fonts in the first place, postage,
- diskette, and paper.
