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