Fonts Ink's US-Bats Documentation INSTALLATION: ------------ Luckily there isn't much documentation needed to effectively use Fonts Ink's US-Bats font in Windows. In fact what documentation you need you already have. To activate TrueType fonts, copy them to your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory and activate them via the Control Panel - Fonts menu. Using these fonts within other systems will require installation as outlined in the documentation of those systems. THE FONT: --------- US-Bats is Dingbats style symbol font that contains the black outline maps of the 50 States, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the Continental U.S. along with some patriotic symbols. These characters look good at point sizes down to 8 pts. The fine detail comes through in sizes even over 72 pts.  The following key will facilitate use of the US-Bats. 0 Map of Continental U.S. with State outlines * 1 Black outline map of the Continental U.S. 2 U.S. flag ** 3 American Bald Eagle 4 Abraham Lincoln portrait 5 Statue of Liberty 6 Fife and drum men ** 7 U.S. flag shield 8 Liberty Bell * 9 Liberty Head * Too complicated to view or print in some sizes less than 72 pt. ** Too complicated to view in some sizes less than 72 pt.

M Illinois Z Montana m Rhode Island z Puerto Rico and the Providence Plantations The state maps are scaled to be a constant height (because you order fonts by height - points). Because of this long, horizontal states such as Tennessee take up a great deal of width and look effectively larger. States such as New Hampshire and Vermonts which are normally thought of as upright (except possibly by Massachusetts) appear small. Note also that the state outlines are based on the normally-recognized conic projection. Thus horizontal lines appear as slight arcs and the northern border of California and the eastern border of Alaska appear skewed. Even Wyoming isn't a square state (regardless of what Colorado says). We found that the outlines are much more recognizable this way.  CONTACT: ------- Thanks for trying out this Fonts Ink's set. We hope you like it.

DMPLAS can reproduce exactly formatted print both horizontally and vertically (good for filling in forms) or the vertical aspect can be shrunk by 10% to accommodate the LaserJet's 10-inch page. DMPLAS can also be used in stand-alone mode to translate and print pre-formatted output. A set of optional HP LaserJet soft fonts are included that can produce more accurate results on printers that do not have a full range of fonts. Included are normal, bold, italic, and italic bold fonts as well as a full set of proportional Courier fonts. DOWNLOAD by Elfring Soft Fonts is also included in the font set. It is included in full registration or it can be registered separately.

Fonts Ink Release date: November 30, 1992 Description: ------------ Features that make Fonts Ink fonts stand out are: - Legal. Many, if not most, of the fonts found freely available today are hacked, translated versions of legitimate fonts that are unlicensed. These fonts are not only illegal to produce, they are by nature poor copies which result in poor images. These can usually be identified by messages in a hex dump of the font such as "Converted by AllType". - Handcrafted. Fonts Ink fonts have been (believe me) painstakingly crafted for small disk and resource size with resulting printing speed. You won't find better anywhere. Full use of composite characters has been used. - Supported. The author, Bob Ostrander, has been on the shareware scene since 1983. Any problems you may find will be corrected or your money back, guaranteed.
