- Howdy again. This is the first (and with luck, the only) upgrade
- to my Kashmir font. The uneven line widths that plagued several
- letters in the initial release have been eliminated. The font is
- modeled after the typeface on the cover of Houses Of The Holy.
- <P>
- This font contains a number of non-standard characters. The
- four runes from Led Zeppelin 4 (Zoso, etc.) are assigned to the
- keys `, ~, @ and %. There are also a number of special lmproving font appearance). As far as screen use
- goes, size 18 is the nicest (12 and 14 are very condensed and
- the lines in 24 are a bit too narrow for my tastes). The printer
- fonts look good at any size, thanks to the advice of Jonathan
- Brecher (brecher@husc.harvard.edu) and John Skidgel
- (kaneda@applelink.apple.com), who have illuminated me in the
- mysteries of clockwise and counterclockwise outlines.
- <P>
- Kashmir also has several characters that make the type fit
- together better. T (just like on the
- album), and the bottom lines of some characters segue into the
- line under the vowels. In order to get vowels to segue into each
- other requires a bit of trickery. There is another set of vowels
- in the typeface with extended underlines. To get them, type
- option-e (for extend) and then the vowel. In addition, there are
- two versions of capital F and P. Lower case letters will fit
- under the overhang if you use the versions option-p and option-f.
