- SEDIMENTARY FONT AND ARROW FONT
-
-
- There are two fonts on this disk: (1) Sedimentary Font, which has symbols
- for common sedimentary structures (troughs, ripples, etc.), fossils, and
- other features (logs, carbonaceous debris, etc.) found in clastic
- sedimentary rocks, and (2) Arrow Font, which has directional fonts in 5
- degree intervals from 0 to 355 degrees and is intended for use on
- stratigraphic columns as paleoflow indicators. The folder on this disk
- labeled "Read Me Second" contains SuperPaint documents which list the
- Sedimentary and Arrow Fonts and gives the keyboard equivalents of each font
- and what the fonts look like. Each font comes in three sizes: 18, 24, and 36
- point. There are two versions of each font: (1) Bitmap fonts which are used
- in the Macintosh screen display and by ImageWriter printers, and (2)
- PostScript fonts which are used by LaserWriter printers. Both the
- Sedimentary Font and the Arrow Font are intended for use on the LaserWriter.
- The bitmap fonts for the Sedimentary Fonts look fairly good but most Arrow
- Font bitmaps look lousy on the ImageWriter and on the screen (but look good
- when printed on the LaserPrinter).
-
- To use these fonts you must do two things correctly: (1) use the Font/Da
- Mover to load the bitmap fonts (contained in files which look like suitcases
- with an"A" inside") onto your System file, and (2) load the PostScript fonts
- into the System Folder by dragging the Post Script Font file (it looks like a
- LaserWriter and has a "T") into your System Folder. Once the bitmaps
- and PostScript fonts are loaded use these fonts as you would use any
- letter/number font. ENJOY!
