- Pecan Slobodka Cyrillic
- A PC Shareware Typeface
-
- Slobodka is a Cyrillic typeface in a "Romanesque" style. Stylistically, it
- most most closely resembles (and looks good with) Times-Roman, medium weight.
-
- Slobodka is named after the European Yeshiva which produced many of the
- gedolim and roshei yeshiva responsible for the growth of Torah in America.
-
- Included in this archive are bitmap fonts for the HP Laserjet printer in 6, 8,
- 10, 12, 14 and 24 point sizes. Screen fonts in these sizes for Xerox Ventura
- Publisher are also included.
-
- We've also supplied a Postscript version of the typeface, as well as Ventura
- width tables for Laserjet and Postscript.
-
- Slobodka has been tested with Ventura, in both Postscript and HP versions. You
- should be able to use the typeface in other PC applications, that support
- these printers, however.
-
- These are the specific files:

- INSTALLATION AND USE
- --------------------
-
- To install Slobodka for use with Ventura, copy the EGA files to your VENTURA
- directory. If you're using a Laserjet, copy the .SFP files and SLOBO-HP.WID to
- your VENTURA directory, as well (you can discard the .PFA file and the other
- .WID file). If you're using a Postscript printer, copy SLOBODKA.PFA to your
- VENTURA\PSFONTS directory, and copy SLOBO-PS.WID to your VENTURA directory
- (you can discard the .SFP files and the other .WID file).
-
- Start Ventura and, from the Options menu, select "Add/Remove Fonts". Click on
- "Merge Width Tables" and select the width table you just copied to your
- VENTURA directory. The font is now installed.
-
- You use Slobodka just as you would use any other downloadable font.
