AnimalTracks
___________________________
July 3, 1994
Animal tracks are cool. They also reveal nice bits about the
anatomy, habits, and behavior, of the animals that leave them. Animals
that walk on their toes (digitigrade) such as horses, cats, dogs, deer,
sheep, etc., rely on speed to overtake their prey, or to escape.
Animals that live at a slower pace such as the skunk, porcupine, etc.,
generally have more elaborate movements, they place both their heels and
toes on the ground. Anyhow, you get the idea.
AnimalTracks is a type 1, PostScript¿ font for the Macintosh
(Also available in TT and T3). Each upper and lower-case letter of the
alphabet is a different animal track. I've tried to display a wide
variety of animals from domestic to exotic, but most are common animal
tracks that one would see on a pretty mild hike. For the most part, all
of them are the left front foot of the animal. (Although, sometimes I
have used another footprint when it was more clear print.) In the wild,
tr acks vary according to age, sex, gait, and the medium in which the
track was preserved. These prints are, on the whole, pretty darn good
examples.
When you press the Option key and the character at the same
time, the opposite print appears (unless there was no Option letter
available, but I plan to include these opposites using another key at a
later date). For example, upper-case S is a left front skunk track and
Option-S (upper-case) is the right front track. But the lower-case b,
the bear, has no Option key on the Mac, thus no opposite track.
The original drawings are fairly small, but I have found that
most tracks print nicely from 8 to 72 point on a LaserWriter Select (600
Dpi) 8 Point is pretty darn small, however.
