Heidelberg
Heidelberg was designed by Bill Horton of Santa Barbara CA. Bill has
been working with type for over 20 years and is very talented. The
name was shortened for DOS. Bill shares in the Shareware income
and has provided us with exclusive rights to distribute and
convert Heidelberg for the DOS platform. To view his work in
Fontographer is a joy. I have also set Heidelberg as a masthead for
a newspaper and used it with restraint for enlarged caps. It is a
splendid face for certificates and awards which looks it's best at
2540 DPI. What follows are Bill's own words:
In what might be called an evolutionary process, here is the font
Heidelberg 89. It is what I consider to be a refinement to
MacHumaine, though it is conceivable others may prefer the
previous version.
It is my feeling that Heidelberg is more truly a calligraphic
style font than MacHumaine, with its more severe strokes and
sharper angles. I have used it for certificates commercially and
have had good comments only. I know there is a school of thought
which believes it is improper to create a font that simulates
actual pen or quill hand writing.
THANK YOU!
Without the help of a number of people this technology
would have never been possible. Altsys Corporation for
Fontographer. Certain PostScript modifications by Barry
Nostradamus Sher of Nostradamus Advertising,New York,NY
(212-581-1362). Advice and words of encouragement from Pat
Beirne,Kathleen Tinkel,Stephen Owades,and Eldor Gemst. To the best
of my knowledge Heidelberg is the SECOND Shareware fully functional
PostScript typeface for Windows and Ventura Publisher. It may also
be the second in this area for the PC platform. Our own Diego1
being the FIRST.
I NEED YOUR INPUT
If Heidelberg is output at higher resolutions than 300 DPI I would
appreciate a sample. Knowing that Heidelberg is a well behaved font
I am sure that it will be used with other applications that run
from DOS as well as GEM and Windows.Please give me specifics in
this area. Your thoughts are always welcome for future fine
tuning.

the MGX driver which is available on CIS in the msapp library 2

COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Support is available by phone,CIS, and InterLink. I am available
for large Electronic Publishing jobs as well as Consulting using
Windows. If you desire a custom typeface or conversion of Type 3
Fontographer faces from the MAC to the PC please contact me for
specific quotes. It is the humble opinion of yours truly that
Heidelberg is equal to or exceeds any Type 3 PostScript typeface
available today. Many have suggested that we sell the face in the
retail market like most other vendors and only release a
"crippled" version for Shareware Evaluation. That's a subtle hint
that I need YOUR support for continued success. If Shareware works
then that's the way all future typefaces will be released and that
is my preferred method at the present time. We currently have 11
more PostScript typefaces under development.

If you use Heidelberg and don't register it you won't help me much
and certainly won't receive upgrades or future releases of other
typefaces for Shareware evaluation. If and when the Type 1 specs
become available and Altsys releases Metamorphis or any utility to
better hint at low resolution and small point size registered
users will get an upgrade at a nominal cost.
