- NOTICE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- ----------------------------
-
-
- Announcing the alpha release of:
-
- The Cherokee (Tsalagi) font for Windows, ATM, OS/2, and UNIX
- ------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Developed under Fontographer 3.5 for Windows running under OS/2 2.1,
- this font represents the 85 character syllabary of the Cherokee standard
- written language. All 6 columns of the syllabary are accessible through
- standard and shifted keystrokes on any extended keyboard. Additionally,
- standard punctuation is still available, such as commas and periods.
-
- This font is currently available in a TrueType format for use with
- Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Win-OS/2 3.1, as well as an Adobe Type 1 format
- for use with Adobe Type Manager and OS/2. Finally, it is also available
- in a Type 1 format for UNIX, which is compatible with NeXT machines as well
- as some other UNIX platforms. Soon to be available is a version for use
- with System 7 Macintoshes. (as soon as I can get my hands on one for 15
- minutes!)
-
- As I am rushing to get this release out into everyone's hands, there
- will be some inaccuracies in the representation of some of the characters;
- however, all are there and should be well-recognizable. I would appreciate
- any and all feedback on the font; this can be either emailed to me at
- locicero@yale.edu or you can reach me by SnailMail at:

- I *promise* that the Macintosh version will be out within a week; I just
- need to get to the Computer Center here on campus to get to a mac with a
- SuperDrive to convert these files; PLEASE hang on all of you.
