LaserWriter fonts for LaserWriter and/or LaserWriter by Francis

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). DO NOT CHANGE CHARACTER WIDTHS. DO NOT CHANGE THE
NAME OF THE FONT. 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 finout 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 applicaets you fine control leading. This
original font is independant and compatible with any PostScript
deviceCunie use it on a resume. I'd use it on the cover of an
Archaeology text though. It's interesting. This original font is
inany PostScript device SansSerif - This is a very clean, readable
typeface. Very Elegant and simple. Should be very popular for
business ans like reports, resumes, etc. This original font is
independant and compatible with any PostScript deviceMega based on
Helvetica. It is compatible with all LWs. MegaShade is an outline
face filled with 50% grey. Good headline materiale references a
LW+ font - ZapfChancery-MediumItalic. However, this one is not
italic. Furthermore, in the optio on a square grey diamond-backed
outlined background (Decorative Initials!). Set these Initials at
48-60 points (recommem - voila, instant 17th century manuscript!.
This is a really good one - recommended for use with WORD or
PageMaker.Whald like to see?Your comments would be
appreciated.Watch this Data Library for more! Send your money- And
enjoy! Butch
