LaserWriter fonts for LaserWriter and/or LaserWriter

Preamble: This is Shareware. I am requesting a contribution of $20
(although I'm not proud...I'll accept any amount) so that I may continue
to produce and provide quality LaserWriter fonts at bargain prices.
The bank keeps knocking on my door...
Here's a few tips on how to use and enjoy your new LaserWriter+ font
-
This font - Cuneifont - is described below.
There are three files included in this package; this Read Me First
notice, the bitmap font and the LaserWriter font.
I hope you are reading this first.
The LaserWriter font appears on the desktop as a LaserWriter Icon
with a "document" with the letter T on it. Move this icon into the
system folder. It should be there for proper printing. An alternative
location is with the application that will use the font. The latter
is not as reliable (at least to my understanding.) That's all you
have to do to install the LW font.
The bitmap font must be installed in the system that will be used
with the application. It MUST be installed with Font/DA Mover 3.2
or later. Earlier versions did not create a proper FOND table in
the system (the FOND is a table that holds info on kerning pairs
and character widths, etc. so that LaserWriter knows where in relation
to the other letter to place the character.)
I don't usually create many different sized bitmaps because the LaserWriter
doesn't need them. They are only for the users convenience in helping
determine how a page will be laid out. It is a real pain to edit
bitmaps. Most fonts are optimized for LaserWriter and not for the
bitmap versions.
Therefore, if you decide you want to experiment with cleaning up
the bitmap images, there is a list of things you CANNOT do or you
will destroy the relationship that exists between the screen version
and the LaserWriter and the LaserWriter will not print the proper
version (it will either substitute another font, or it will print
the screen font).
Ñ DO NOT CHANGE CHARACTER WIDTHS
Ñ DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FONT
Ñ DO NOT CHANGE THE FONT ID
It's best to do all you typing in a more readable screen font (i.e.,
Geneva or Chicago), check for errors, then do the final layout in
the screen font (this applies more to other fonts than to this version
of SansSerif, which has a very clean and readable bitmap; it even
prints well on the LW as a bitmap!)
Coming very soon:
ModernPrint - looks like very fine hand printing - works best
with
WORD or Pagemaker - or any application that lets you
fine control leading. This original font is
independant and compatible with any PostScript device
Cuniefont - It's readable, but I wouldn't use it on a resumÄ.
I'd use it on the cover of an Archaeology text
though. It's interesting. This original font is
independant and compatible with any PostScript device
SansSerif - This is a very clean, readable typeface. Very
Elegant
and simple. Should be very popular for business
applications like reports, resumÄs, etc. This original
font is independant and compatible with any PostScript
device
MegaShade- This is a referenced font - based on Helvetica.
It is compatible with all LWs. MegaShade is an outline
face filled with 50% grey. Good headline material.
Calligraphic - This one references a LW+ font -
ZapfChancery-MediumItalic. However, this one is not
italic. Furthermore, in the option-shift-letter
range are White Caps on a square grey diamond-backed
outlined background (Decorative Initials!).
Set these Initials at 48-60 points (recommended) and
wrap text around them - voila, instant 17th century
manuscript!. This is a really good one - recommended
for use with WORD or PageMaker.
What other kinds of fonts you would like to see?
Your comments would be appreciated.

Send your money-
And enjoy!
