- Tuesday, July 30, 1991
- ©1991 by James M. Harris
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: This version fixes all printing problems and postscript errors
- associated with imagesetter output. This version also adds quotes and
- apostrophes, which were missing in previous versions.
-
- This is the final version of PREMIUM THIN. Those who have registered their copy
- of the previous Type 3 or Type 1 versions are automatically registered for this
- version. PREMIUM THIN is a beautiful Type 1 (ATM-compatible) display typeface
- based on Letraset's Premier Lightline. This font has uppercase and lowercase
- characters, numerals, and punctuation. PREMIUM THIN was created entirely with
- LetrasetÕs FontStudio 2.0 (release version). PREMIUM THIN includes a 24 and
- 48-point screenfont, the AFM file, and this READ ME--PREMIUM THIN document.
- This font is fully hinted and and there are over 600 kerning pairs defined.
-
- ALTERNATE CHARACTERS------------------------------
- There are alternate characters for A, K, R, S, W, e, s, and w. Uppercase
- alternates can be accessed by pressing Option-Shift-Character and the lowercase
- alternates can be accessed by pressing Option-Character. For example, to get
- the alternate uppercase A, you would press Option-Shift-A.
-
- DESIGNSTUDIO AND READY,SET,GO! USERS:
- DesignStudio and Ready,Set,Go! may not always display and print special
- alternate characters in a FontStudio font. Both page-layout applications
- default to the standard Symbol characters if the upper register of ASCII
- characters is mapped differently from the standard font map.
-
- The solution (using Apple's ResEdit utility) is as follows:
- 1. Launch ResEdit and open a copy of the DesignStudio (or RSG) application
- (Never work on the original!).
- 2. Locate the STR# resource and open it.
- 3. Open STR# 556.
- 4. Click on the last row of asterisks in the lower left of the window. A
- rectangle will appear around the asterisks.
- 5. Select NEW (or Insert New Field(s) if you are using ResEdit 2.0 or later)
- from the File menu and then click the pointer in the new font name entry
- area that appears and type the unique font name the unique font name in this
- area. You must enter the unique font name exactly. Character for character,
- spelling, correct upper and lowercase usage, and spacing between words is
- crucial.
- 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 (always clicking on the current last row of asterisks)
- for each font for which you need the special (option or option-shift)
- characters properly displayed and printed.
- 7. When you are done adding all the font names to the program, choose Quit from
- the File menu and then click Yes to save the changes.
- DesignStudio (or RSG) should now properly display and print the special
- characters for each font whose name you've added to the program using this
- procedure.
