- DESIGN HISTORY
-
- Diego1 was originally created by Fontographer Version 3.0.4
- (Nimbus Q hinting) on the MAC for a client in early 1989. It is named after the
- city I live in (San Diego) and exudes the same casual feeling as
- the city. It was designed as a display face with a subtle
- Calligraphy effect. You will notice that cap heights are not all
- the same as well as x height. This is by design. Another
- consideration was output at low resolution and that means 300 DPI
- so their is a boldness to it which is part of it's flavor also.
-
- THANK YOU!
-
- Without the help of a number of people this typeface would have
- never been possible. Altsys Corporation for Fontographer. Judy
- Thorn for her original hand drawn creation of Diego1.To the best
- of my knowledge Diego1 was the FIRST Shareware fully functional
- PostScript typeface for Windows. It may also be the first in this
- area for the PC platform.
-
-
- FEATURES
-
- I have tried to map as many characters as possible. Their is
- a haphazard mapping sometimes evident in the extended character
- set. This was caused by the long and tedious process of
- deciphering the encoding and the translation and patching of same
- from the MAC to the PC in early 1989. I have tried to provide most of the
- foreign language characters as well as some useful graphics that
- most typefaces do not contain like enlarged quotes,arrows, and 3
- different sized bullets to name a few. Please study your
- printout from the supplied PageMaker publication.
-
-
- I NEED YOUR INPUT
-
- This is a TrueType Beta Version 1.0 that needs to be tested with a wide
- variety of applications and printers. I plan to map characters 130 to 159
- which is commonly refereed to as the Windows ANSI Plus. I would appreciate
- your reports. If Diego1 is output at higher resolutions than 300 DPI I would
- appreciate a sample. Knowing that Diego1 is a well behaved font I
- have received unconfirmed reports that Diego1 is being used with
- other applications that run from DOS. Please give me specifics in this
- area Your thoughts are always welcome for future fine tuning.
