- Part 4: The ISOLatin1 Character Set
-
- This file doesn't need to be used, but it'll make working with Mac screen
- fonts much easier.
-
- It's a new keymap that works just like usa1 on the Workbench disk, except
- that CTRL-ALT give the Macintosh alternate character set, and CTRL-SHIFT-ALT
- gives the Macintosh Shifted-alternate character set. The extra keypad keys
- on the A500 and A2000 are unaffected by this, and they'll work normally.
-
- For font-specific encoded typefaces, you can get the key layout from your
- service bureau, and using ISOLatin1 you can use those same keymaps on the
- Amiga.
-
- Using ISOLatin1
-
- To use the new keymap, you must copy it to your devs/keymaps directory on
- your PPage disk or hard disk. To activate the keymap use the SetMap
- command:
-
- SetMap ISOLatin1
-
- or
-
- SYS:System/SetMap ISOLatin1
-
- NOTE: Because of the software I used (SetKey 1.0 by CodeWorks) The
- CTRL-ALT-Minus combination would cause a system error if I defined it.
- Instead, I used the keypad minus key. Pressing CTRL-ALT-Minus does nothing.
- Pressing CTRL-ALT-KeypadMinus gives a D0 in hex, or an En-Dash.
-
- I used the CTRL key as a qualifier because I didn't want to disturb the
- normal Amiga keymap, just in case any of you have memorized it. Also,
- Professional Page and other programs use the ALT and SHIFT-ALT qualifiers
- for their own purposes. Using CTRL-ALT and CTRL-SHIFT-ALT just makes life a
- little bit simpler for those who want the best of both worlds.
-
- NOTE: If you're using a typeface set to use Amiga standard encoding, what
- you see on screen may not be the same as what you get, mainly if you're
- using Macintosh screen fonts. To get the special characters, follow the
- Amiga or PPage keymaps for getting characters from the Amiga's alternate
- character set. I'm working on making PPage use Apple standard encoding for
- its display and PostScript printing, and by the looks of their PSPrlg file
- it doesn't look hard.
-
- And that's it. Time to let Adobe Type and Professional Page go to work for
- you.
