- Introduction
-
- Thank you for trying out the Daytona Laser font. We are proud to offer you
- this FREE typeface and hope that you put it to productive use.
-
- Although Daytona is a different font altogether, it will give you a flavor of
-
- OLDUVAI’s ART-FONTS, the series of commercial display typefaces that offers
- designers, artists, and desktop publishers, like yourself, striking new
- typefaces at an extremely low cost ($99 retail price per volume).
-
- ART-FONTS’ high quality, decorative Laser fonts give your document or
- publication a striking new look for headlines and logos. The entire ART-FONTS
-
- collection includes three volumes of six (6) Laser fonts each, to be used
- with the Apple LaserWriter and other PostScript® printers.
-
- While the host of PostScript typefaces available are intended for ordinary
- correspondence, ART-FONTS are display typefaces that clearly turn heads and
- make people pause, rather than being “smooth and easy to read.” While we are
- sure we have not thought of all the places where ART-FONTS may be used, they
- easily find a home in glaring headlines and stunning logos. Take a look at
- some recent OLDUVAI literature; you’ll notice that ART-FONTS are there.
-
- We’ve also introduced PictureKeys™, clip art that is built into a font.
- PictureKeys images range from straightforward arrows to a Macintosh
- computer. Each volume of ART-FONTS contains a unique PictureKeys font. With
- PictureKeys, you have a wide range of instant clip art images at your
- fingertips.
-
- We never intended for the ART-FONTS typefaces to be “static.” While you can,
- of course, simply use these typefaces (just by typing), these typefaces work
- spectacularly well when creatively manipulated.
-
-
- Installation
-
- Follow these steps for a quick installation of the Daytona font:
-
- NOTE: To properly use Daytona, you should be using Apple’s System/Finder
- 4.1/5.5 or later, with LaserWriter driver 4.0, or later. Daytona works best
- with System 6.0.2 (or later,) which uses LaserWriter driver 5.2. Earlier
- versions of the LaserWriter driver did not automatically download fonts to
- printers. See your dealer about upgrading to newer versions of Apple’s
- System/Finder. Some font downloading applications allow Daytona to be used
- with earlier systems.
- It is required that you use the latest Font/DA Mover (3.8 or later) from
- Apple’s System Utilities I disk.
-
- 1) Copy the Daytona printer font into your active System Folder.
-
- 2) Use Font/DA Mover to install the Daytona screen font(s) into your System
- file. You may also use temporary installers to use the screen fonts.
-
- Once you’re done, you should be up and creatively using the Daytona font in a
-
- matter of minutes.
-
-
- Using Daytona
-
- Daytona has been tested compatible with hundreds of Macintosh programs. We
- have found a certain number of these extremely useful in our own use of
- Daytona. These programs can best be separated into three categories: System
- Enhancers, Type Enhancers, and Publishing/Presentation packages.
-
- There are many utilities products that make life with the Macintosh fonts
- easier. A few quickly come to mind, all building on inherent problems with
- the Macintosh. Some of these may help you in your day to day life.
-
- Often your System Folder may get crowded with a large number of printer
- fonts. Utilities such as OLDUVAI’s FontShare allow you to keep printer fonts
- in other places besides the large System Folder. If running on a network,
- FontShare allows you to place all downloadable typefaces on a single file
- server, clearing valuable space from each workstation. When it comes time to
- print, FontShare automatically downloads the typeface to the PostScript
- printer.
-
- While Apple recommends following the lengthy Font/DA Mover screen font
- installation process, sometimes it may be easier to quickly and temporarily
- install screen fonts. A number of these utilities are available on the
- market.
-
- A number of public domain font downloading applications exist. These
- utilities allow you to explicitly download PostScript documents, including
- typefaces, to printers. This may prove to be an alternative to placing
- Printer fonts in the System Folder for automatic downloading. These font
- downloaders allow you to permanently (until you turn the printer off) keep
- the font definition in the printer so that when a print job requires that
- typeface it does not have to be downloaded at the time of printing. Apple,
- for example, supplies the LaserWriter Font Utility. This application, while
- not in the public domain, is one of the best available. You may also find
- other utilities available through most user group libraries and
- telecommunication services.
-
- A relatively new category of utilities for downloadable typefaces are type
- enhancers. Type enhancers allow PostScript typefaces to be manipulated for
- very creative and sometimes unusual effects. The manipulations these packages
-
- include provide abilities such as rotation, stretching of text, and other
- transformations too numerous to mention here. A product such as Brøderbund’s
- TypeStyler is strictly a type enhancer, while applications such as Adobe
- Illustrator ’88, Freehand and Cricket Draw contain features that provide
- simple manipulations. All of these applications are recommended.
-
- Desktop publishing applications that provide the ability to easily create
- complex pages for publications are numerous, but the most popular include
- Aldus’ PageMaker, Quark’s XPress, and Letraset’s Ready-Set-Go!
-
- Desktop presentations products are a new entry to Macintosh applications.
- Presentation products such as Symantec’s MORE II, Microsoft’s PowerPoint,
- Cricket Presents, Aldus’ Persuasion, and Letraset’s StandOut provide you with
-
- tools that make the creation of slides and handouts very easy. If you are
- using ART-FONTS and intend to produce presentations, we suggest that you look
-
- into these products.
-
-
- Troubleshooting
-
- Symptom:
- I am using Daytona, and the page that comes out of the LaserWriter is
- composed of a ragged series of dots or Daytona doesn’t print, but another
- “standard” typeface (usually Courier or Helvetica) does.
-
- Possible Causes:
- The Printer font is not available to the printer. In order for a PostScript
- printer to print the proper font, it must have the printer font containing
- the outline definition available. Additionally, the Font Substitution option,
-
- found in the applications Page Setup… dialog, may be set incorrectly
-
- Solutions:
- a) Copy the Daytona Printer font into your active System Folder.
- b) If you are using an earlier Apple System/Finder than version 4.1/5.5,
- which uses LaserWriter driver version 4.0, or later, you must either upgrade
- to a newer System or use a font downloading application. Daytona work best
- with System 6.0.2 (or later,) which uses LaserWriter driver 5.2.
