MACINTOSH INSTALLATION:
To install this font on a Macintosh you need only one of the files in this
archive:
You must be running the TrueType INIT with System 6.0.7 OR you must be
running System 7. If you aren’t running one or the other of these, this
font will not do you any good whatsoever. The contents of the
GoudyHundred.suit file should be installed into your System file with the
Font/DA Mover version 4.1 or above. Use the standard procedure for
installing a bitmap font file. If you have trouble doing this, double check
that you are using Font/DA Mover version 4.1 or above. When Font/DA Mover
is running, you will see a number in the top left corner of the menu bar.
If this number is 4.1 or greater, then you have a version of Font/DA Mover
that will install the TrueType version of GoudyHundred. If you have
Suitcase II or MasterJuggler, follow their instructions for the
installation of new bitmap fonts. Make sure you are running Suitcase II
version 1.2.9 or greater. No previous versions work properly with System
7.
GoudyHundred TrueType notes:
This typeface is a rendering of Frederick Goudy’s Bertham type. The
drawings and matrices were lost in a fire in 1939. The complete roman font
is shown in Goudy’s “Half Century of Type Design” (page 210). The font was
named for Goudy’s wife, Bertha.
So far as I know there is no companion italic. A very attractive
alternative is to use small caps in place of italics. I have not provided
small caps: these are usually provided (in the absence of the real thing)
by scaling along the y-axis to achieve harmony with the lowercase, and a
slight enlargement along the x-axis. This, in the case of Bertham, has not
proved a very attractive approach. Use the normal smallcaps function of
most word-processor/page-layout programs instead.
The characters in GoudyHundred are faithful recreations of the characters
in Bertham, save for a few concessions that I have made to 300dpi. I have
slightly altered some curves so that they will not be the victims of undue
stair-stepping, or ‘jaggedies’. The only characters that I have created for
GoudyHundred that were not in Bertham are the AE, OE, ae, oe ligatures,
and, though they are to my mind successful, I do not insist upon them.
Likewise, I know of no paragraph symbol for Bertham, so I expropriated one
from a collection of typographic devices contained in the “Half Century of
Type Design” (page 241); it seems to work well.
The font included here is in both Macintosh and PC TrueType format. Install
as you would any other TrueType font using Font/DA Mover 4.1 or later OR
use System 7’s new facilities for installing fonts without the use of
Font/DA Mover.
NOTE FOR PC USERS:
Install the GOH_____.TTF file using whatever instructions you have
regarding installation of TrueType fonts in Windows 3.1. If you don’t have
windows 3.1 or later, sorry, since this font won’t work for you at all.
That's all there is to it. Good luck!
