This is Hi-Low, a laser font which generates subscripted and superscripted Times and Symbol characters.
I created the font primarily out of need, because most draw programs do not allow superscripted or subscripted text (Cricket Draw is a rare exception, but it is showing its age). Equation processors such as MathType, Expressionist, etc., could be used, but I wanted a way to identify points on a math drawing, such as x sub 1, without resorting to an equation processor for each point. Hi-Low can also be used with a word processor; a handy macro could be made (using MacroMaker, QuicKeys, etc.) to switch to Hi-Low and another macro could switch back to Times.
All Times Roman alphabetic characters and numbers can be superscripted just by typing the normal character or shift-character using the Hi-Low font. They can be subscripted by including the option key. (So type "a" to have a superscripted "a", and type "option"-"a" to have a subscripted "a".) This means that the characters normally available with the option key are not available. Some of them have been shifted elsewhere, as well as most of the greek letters and some symbols from the Symbol font. I was guided by a purely selfish motive--to include only those characters I myself have had (or probably will have) cause to subscript or superscript, particularly in math drawings. Included with the screen and laser fonts is a keyboard map (in Word 3 format), but I suggest you ignore it and use the great PopChar INIT for entering the greek letters and math symbols when they are needed. I have only included screen fonts for sizes 9 and 10 (I normally use size 9 for subscripts and superscripts). In order to use Hi-Low you will need to have Times and Symbol fonts also available to your System.
The "HiLow" printer font must be placed in your System Folder and must not be renamed.
This font was created with ParaFont. I made Hi-Low primarily for my own use, and am passing it along as freeware so that others (particularly those working in Mathematics and related fields) can also use it.
