Heidelberg
Heidelberg was designed by Bill Horton of Santa Barbara CA. Bill has been working with type for over 20 years and is very talented. The name was shortened for DOS. Bill shares in the Shareware income and has provided us with exclusive rights to distribute and convert Heidelberg for the DOS platform. To view his work in Fontographer is a joy. I have also set Heidelberg as a masthead for a newspaper and used it with restraint for enlarged caps. It is a splendid face for certificates and awards which looks it's best at 2540 DPI. What follows are Bill's own words: In what might be called an evolutionary process, here is the font Heidelberg 89. It is what I consider to be a refinement to MacHumaine, though it is conceivable others may prefer the previous version. It is my feeling that Heidelberg is more truly a calligraphic style font than MacHumaine, with its more severe strokes and sharper angles. I have used it for certificates commercially and have had good comments only. I know there is a school of thought which believes it is improper to create a font that simulates actual pen or quill hand writing. THANK YOU! Without the help of a number of people this technology would have never been possible. Altsys Corporation for Fontographer. Certain PostScript modifications by Barry Nostradamus Sher of Nostradamus Advertising,New York,NY (212-581-1362). Advice and words of encouragement from Pat Beirne,Kathleen Tinkel,Stephen Owades,and Eldor Gemst. To the best of my knowledge Heidelberg is the SECOND Shareware fully functional PostScript typeface for Windows and Ventura Publisher. It may also be the second in this area for the PC platform. Our own Diego1 being the FIRST. I NEED YOUR INPUT If Heidelberg is output at higher resolutions than 300 DPI I would appreciate a sample. Knowing that Heidelberg is a well behaved font I am sure that it will be used with other applications that run from DOS as well as GEM and Windows.Please give me specifics in this area. Your thoughts are always welcome for future fine tuning. FURTHER READING Perhaps your user manual or a fine bit of research on the use of the MGX driver which is available on CIS in the msapp library 2 called MGX.NOS. by Barry "NOS" Sher (CIS# 76200,3631) COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Support is available by phone,CIS, and InterLink. I am available for large Electronic Publishing jobs as well as Consulting using Windows. If you desire a custom typeface or conversion of Type 3 Fontographer faces from the MAC to the PC please contact me for specific quotes. It is the humble opinion of yours truly that Heidelberg is equal to or exceeds any Type 3 PostScript typeface available today. Many have suggested that we sell the face in the retail market like most other vendors and only release a "crippled" version for Shareware Evaluation. That's a subtle hint that I need YOUR support for continued success. If Shareware works then that's the way all future typefaces will be released and that is my preferred method at the present time. We currently have 11 more PostScript typefaces under development. VERSION HISTORY Version 1.0 This is the first release. OTHER POSTSCRIPT SHAREWARE FONTS RELEASED Diego1 (Version 1.2) is the latest.
