MOSKVA 5
========
(Probably the final version: toss away your copy of version .01)
Aug. 11 1991
Mark Crislip's Cyrillic fonts have kept me going until now, but
unfortunately his creations have been based on Times. We're doing
signage for a Moscow hotel, and our equipment is by Gerber, so
what we have for a Cyrillic output face is Gerber's Consta
Cyrillic (I _know_ a setup with Dynacadd would blow it away, but
unfortunately I have little pull with that department.) Gerber's
is a sans-serif face, which looks like a mildly condensed
Helvetica.
My "Moscow Regular" is a Calamus simulation of that Gerber font,
but with similar keyboard positions (not in all cases, though) to
Crislip's Cyrillic fonts. Gerber seems to treat anything other
than English as dingbats, and apparently randomly assigns
characters to keys. One of the advantages of Mark's Cyrillic is
that, for example, for the Russian equivalent of "Elevator," one
need only type "Lift." With Gerber's Signmakers, one would have
to constantly cross-reference the character list.
I can be reached in the following ways:
Capricorn Graphics
260 Adelaide St. East, Box 66
Toronto Ontario M5A 1N0
on Canada Remote Systems (Toronto 629-7000, also on NANET)
on Genie
This font is freeware and may be freely distributed. All I
require is that this read-me file be distributed with the font.
Thanks to ISD and Ditek for Calamus (that's why I bought an
Atari,) to Mark Crislip for his keyboard map, to Gregg Rodgers
for GENUS ("drawing letters?: it's cake!"), and to Conners
Breweries for their Best Bitter ("The type designer's friend.")
