QUICK START FOR WINDOWS USERS - Version 3.1 Documentation to be provided. PageMaker 4.0 users Charset.pm4 should be printed after you install Diego1. Use this chart as a guide for your TrueType fonts. DESIGN HISTORY Diego1 was originally created by Fontographer Version 3.0.4 (Nimbus Q hinting) on the MAC for a client in early 1989. It is named after the city I live in (San Diego) and exudes the same casual feeling as the city. It was designed as a display face with a subtle Calligraphy effect. You will notice that cap heights are not all the same as well as x height. This is by design. Another consideration was output at low resolution and that means 300 DPI so their is a boldness to it which is part of it's flavor also. THANK YOU! Without the help of a number of people this typeface would have never been possible. Altsys Corporation for Fontographer. Judy Thorn for her original hand drawn creation of Diego1.To the best of my knowledge Diego1 was the FIRST Shareware fully functional PostScript typeface for Windows. It may also be the first in this area for the PC platform. FEATURES I have tried to map as many characters as possible. Their is a haphazard mapping sometimes evident in the extended character set. This was caused by the long and tedious process of deciphering the encoding and the translation and patching of same from the MAC to the PC in early 1989. I have tried to provide most of the foreign language characters as well as some useful graphics that most typefaces do not contain like enlarged quotes,arrows, and 3 different sized bullets to name a few. Please study your printout from the supplied PageMaker publication. I NEED YOUR INPUT This is a TrueType Beta Version 1.0 that needs to be tested with a wide variety of applications and printers. I plan to map characters 130 to 159 which is commonly refereed to as the Windows ANSI Plus. I would appreciate your reports. If Diego1 is output at higher resolutions than 300 DPI I would appreciate a sample. Knowing that Diego1 is a well behaved font I have received unconfirmed reports that Diego1 is being used with other applications that run from DOS. Please give me specifics in this area Your thoughts are always welcome for future fine tuning.
