DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS<br />
<br />
The Helv font family is Rubicon's implementation of the Helvetica<br />
design. It is an isometric font clone of the original.<br />
<br />
Rubicon's isometric font clones are digitised on a 2000x2000 pixel grid.<br />
They are isometric to their namesakes, meaning that the Postscript font<br />
metrics are the same. This includes character widths, baselines, side<br />
bearings, bounding boxes, and kerning pairs. MacIntosh versions include<br />
10 & 12 point hand-tuned screen fonts.<br />
<br />
FONT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES<br />
<br />
Rubicon's Isometric Fonts are provided in Postscript and Truetype<br />
versions, in PC or MAC format. Installation instructions are given<br />
below for the following operating systems:<br />
<br />
   Windows 3.1 & Truetype<br />
   Windows 3.x & Postscript<br />
   Windows 95 & Truetype<br />
   Windows 95 & Postscript<br />
   Windows NT & Truetype<br />
   MS-DOS & Truetype<br />
   MS-DOS & Postscript<br />
   OS/2 & Postscript<br />
   MAC System 7 & Truetype<br />
   MAC System 7 & Postscript<br />
   MAC System 6 & Truetype<br />
   MAC System 6 & Postscript<br />
<br />
PC versions can also be used with certain other computer platforms or<br />
operating systems, and in certain printing devices which accept<br />
downloadable fonts directly.<br />
<br />
The Isometric Fonts software is distributed in either uncompressed<br />
format (ready to use) or in a compressed archive format, e.g. ZIP for<br />
PC's or a Stuffit archive for MAC's. Compressed font archives must be<br />
expanded before installation (this has probably been done already, to<br />
permit the user to read this file). The font installation software will<br />
need the location of the new (uninstalled fonts), i.e. the names of the<br />
disk drive and directory path (folder) where the new fonts are stored.<br />
<br />
The new font files should be placed either on a floppy diskette,<br />
or in a temporary directory (folder) on a hard disk. These files are<br />
not needed after installation, but a backup copy should be retained.<br />
During installation, the font software is copied onto hard disk, in the<br />
appropriate location.<br />
<br />
WINDOWS 3.1 & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
To install Truetype fonts into Microsoft Windows 3.1, first note the<br />
location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are stored. The name of the<br />
disk drive is needed and the directory path, if any. From inside Windows<br />
<br />
   Switch to the program group "Main"<br />
   Open the icon "Control Panel"<br />
   Open the icon "Fonts" (not "Printers")<br />
   Select the "Add" button<br />
   The dialogue box "Add Fonts" will appear<br />
   Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:<br />
      Choose the disk drive letter from the "Drives" menu<br />
      (Disk drives are denoted a: b: c: etc.)<br />
      Choose the directory path, if any, from the "Directories" menu<br />
   The "List of Fonts" menu should display the new font names<br />
      Choose "Select All" to install all the new fonts<br />
      Or, select fonts individually from the "List of Fonts" menu<br />
      (Hold down the shift key to select more than one font)<br />
   Mark the option box "Copy fonts to Windows directory"<br />
   Choose "OK", then wait while Windows installs the selected fonts<br />
   Close the "Fonts" window to return to the Windows "Control Panel"<br />
   End<br />
<br />
In case of difficulty, consult the MS-Windows User's Guide, under<br />
"Truetype fonts, adding". <br />
<br />
WINDOWS 3.x & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows is an alternative to the Truetype<br />
font rasterizer that is provided with Microsoft Windows 3.1. Older<br />
versions of ATM also work with Windows 3.0. ATM uses Postscript Type1<br />
fonts rather than Truetype fonts. The installation procedure for ATM 2.0<br />
and Windows 3.1 is as follows. Other versions of ATM and/or Windows<br />
operate similarly. <br />
<br />
First, note the location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are stored.<br />
The name of the disk drive is needed and the directory path, if any.<br />
From inside Windows<br />
<br />
   Close any programs that are in use<br />
   Switch to the program group "Main"<br />
   Open the icon "ATM Control Panel"<br />
   Select the "Add" button<br />
      The dialogue box "Add ATM Fonts" will appear<br />
   Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:<br />
      Choose the disk drive letter from the "Directories" menu<br />
      (Disk drives are denoted [-a-] [-b-] [-c-] etc.)<br />
      Choose the directory path, if any, from the "Directories" menu<br />
   The "Available Fonts" menu should display the new font names<br />
      Select fonts individually from this menu<br />
      (Hold down the shift key to select more than one font)<br />
   Set the "Target directory for Postscript fonts"<br />
      the default should be OK, normally "c:\psfonts"<br />
   Set the "Target directory for font metrics files"<br />
      the default should be OK, normally "c:\psfonts\pfm"<br />
   Select the "Add" button<br />
   Wait while ATM installs the selected fonts<br />
   Exit the ATM Control Panel<br />
   Choose the option to "Restart Windows", then wait<br />
   End<br />
<br />
In case of difficulty, consult the ATM User Guide, under "Adding and<br />
removing fonts".<br />
<br />
WINDOWS 95 & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
The Windows 95 Truetype font installation procedure is almost identical<br />
to that of Windows 3.1. To install Truetype fonts into Microsoft Windows<br />
95, first note the location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are<br />
stored. The name of the disk drive is needed and the folder (directory),<br />
if any. From inside Windows 95<br />
<br />
   Switch to the program group "Main"<br />
   Open the icon "Control Panel"<br />
   Open the icon "Fonts"<br />
   From the "File" menu, choose "Install New Font"<br />
      The dialogue box "Add Fonts" should appear<br />
   Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:<br />
      Choose the disk drive letter from the "Drives" menu<br />
      (Disk drives are denoted a: b: c: etc.)<br />
      Choose the folder, if any, from the "Folders" menu<br />
   The "List of Fonts" menu should display the new font names<br />
      Choose "Select All" to install all the new fonts<br />
      Or, select fonts individually from the "List of Fonts" menu<br />
      (Hold down the shift key to select more than one font.)<br />
   Mark the option box "Copy fonts to Fonts folder"<br />
   Choose "OK", then wait while Windows installs the selected fonts<br />
   Close the "Fonts" window to return to the Windows "Control Panel"<br />
   Close the "Control Panel" window to return to Windows 95<br />
   End<br />
<br />
In case of difficulty, consult the MS-Windows 95 documentation.<br />
<br />
WINDOWS 95 & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows 95 is an alternative to the<br />
Truetype font rasterizer that is provided with Microsoft Windows 95. ATM<br />
uses Postscript Type1 fonts rather than Truetype fonts. Installation<br />
should be similar to Windows 3.1 (see above), or consult the ATM for<br />
Windows 95 documentation. <br />
<br />
WINDOWS NT & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
For installation of Truetype fonts, consult the MS-Windows NT documen-<br />
tation. If and when Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is available for Windows<br />
NT, consult the ATM documentation for installation of Postscript fonts.<br />
<br />
MS-DOS & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
MS-DOS does not support Truetype fonts directly. Those MS-DOS<br />
applications with Truetype font support each have their own unique<br />
installation procedures. Consult the corresponding User Guides.<br />
<br />
Example: Word Perfect 6.0.<br />
<br />
MS-DOS & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
MS-DOS does not support Postscript fonts directly. Those MS-DOS<br />
applications with Postscript font support each have their own unique<br />
installation procedures. Consult the corresponding User Guides.<br />
<br />
Examples: Adobe Font Foundry, Word Perfect 6.0, Ventura Publisher.<br />
<br />
OS/2 & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
OS/2 provides direct support for Postscript fonts. Note that many users<br />
run Windows 3.1 on top of OS/2. Windows programs require that the fonts<br />
be installed into Windows (as above). Either Truetype or Postscript<br />
fonts can be used. <br />
<br />
To install Postscript fonts into OS/2, first note the location where the<br />
new (uninstalled) fonts are stored. The drive letter is needed and the<br />
directory path, if any. Typical examples would be "A:\" or "C:\TEMP".<br />
<br />
From the OS/2 System icon view, use the mouse to:<br />
<br />
   double click the "System Setup" icon<br />
   double click the "Font Palette" icon<br />
   single click the "Edit Font" button<br />
   single click the "Add" button<br />
   set the drive/directory of the new fonts<br />
      e.g. "A:\" or "C:\TEMP"<br />
   single click the "Add" button<br />
      a list of filenames will appear under "Font Files"<br />
   to select fonts for installation, click one or more filenames<br />
      the corresponding font names will appear<br />
   click again to deselect unwanted fonts<br />
   single-click the "Add" button to install selected fonts<br />
   close the "Edit Font" window<br />
   close the "Font Palette" window<br />
   end<br />
<br />
MAC SYSTEM 7 & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
To install Truetype fonts into MacIntosh System 7 (or newer), locate and<br />
identify the Truetype font files, indicated by a suitcase icon with a<br />
filename ending in "TT", then drag them into the System folder. System 7<br />
will respond, asking for permission to move the font files into the<br />
System Font sub-folder. Select the "OK" button. The new fonts will not<br />
be available to currently running applications until they have been quit<br />
and re-launched. <br />
<br />
MAC SYSTEM 7 & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for MacIntosh is an alternative to the Truetype<br />
font rasterizer that is provided with System 7. Older versions of ATM<br />
also work with System 6. ATM uses Postscript Type1 fonts rather than<br />
Truetype fonts.<br />
<br />
To install Postscript fonts for use with ATM, locate and identify<br />
the screen font files (indicated by a suitcase icon with a filename<br />
ending in "screen") and the Postscript Type 1 files (icon shows a<br />
printer and the numeral "1"). Drag these files into the System folder.<br />
The operating system (Finder) will respond, asking for permission to<br />
move the font files into the System Font sub-folder. Select the "OK"<br />
button. The new fonts will not be available to currently running<br />
applications until they have been quit and re-launched. <br />
<br />
MAC SYSTEM 6 & TRUETYPE<br />
<br />
Truetype fonts can be used with later versions of System 6. The follow-<br />
ing software is required: System 6.0.6 or newer, the Truetype INIT, and<br />
the Font D/A Mover 4.1 or newer. These were formerly available free of<br />
charge from Apple. <br />
<br />
Using Font D/A Mover, install the entire contents of the Truetype font<br />
suitcases. These contain 1 or more Truetype font outlines, and optional-<br />
ly may contain 1 or more hand-tuned screen fonts.<br />
<br />
MAC SYSTEM 6 & POSTSCRIPT<br />
<br />
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for MacIntosh is an alternative to the Truetype<br />
font rasterizer. Older versions of ATM will work with System 6. ATM uses<br />
Postscript Type1 fonts rather than Truetype fonts. The Font D/A Mover is<br />
required. This was formerly available free of charge from Apple.<br />
<br />
To install Postscript fonts for use with ATM, first locate and identify<br />
the screen font files (indicated by a suitcase icon with a filename<br />
ending in "screen") and the Postscript Type 1 files (icon shows a<br />
printer and the numeral "1").<br />
<br />
Using Font D/A Mover, install the contents of the screen font suit-<br />
case(s). Then, drag the Type1 font file(s) into the System Folder. The<br />
new fonts will not be available to currently running applications until<br />
they have been quit and re-launched.<br />
