The FontDemo font contains selected characters from the fonts in the Altsys Fontographer font catalog. These fonts are PostScript fonts designed in Fontographer, requiring a PostScript printer for full resolution printing. The original Fontographer outline file is included on the disk for those of you who have Fontographer and want to see how the characters were built.
This file describes the layout of the characters in the font and includes an abbreviated guide to installing and using it.
Here is a key to the characters:
A-C and a-c plus 0 are in Goudy NewStyle
D-F and d-f plus 1 are in Goudy OldStyle
G-I and g-i plus 2 are in Cooper
J-L and j-l plus 3 are in Cooper OldStyle
M-O and m-o plus 4 are in Venezia
P-Q and p-q plus 5 are in Borders I & II
R-S and r-s plus 6 and 7 are in Borders III and IV
T-V and t-v plus 8 are in Block
W-Z and w-z plus 9 are in Penstroke
Punctuation characters are in Block.
Extra characters beyond 128 are from Goudy NewStyle and illustrate the ligatures and old-style numerals available in the “literary” encoding of the font.
How to install: (abbreviated—see the Altsys Font User's Guide for a complete version)
• Put the FontDem file (the one that looks like a LaserWriter) into your System Folder.
• Install the FontDemo.bmap file into your System file using Apple's Font/DA Mover.
• Open any application that has a font menu and choose the FontDemo font.
• Type some characters.
• Print. These fonts are designed to print in full resolution ONLY on printers that have PostScript capability. All the LaserWriters from Apple have PostScript except the LaserWriter IISC. If you need fonts for the LaserWriter IISC, we recommend our bitmap fonts and FONTastic Plus.
