MACINTOSH INSTALLATION:
To install this font on a Macintosh you need only two of the files in this
archive:
The PostScript file should be dropped into your System Folder. The
PostScript file is the one named ╥GoudyHun╙.
The contents of the bitmap file should be installed into your System file
with the Font/DA Mover version 3.8 or above. Use the standard procedure for
installing a bitmap font file. The bitmap file is the one named
╥GoudyHundred.bmap╙. If you have trouble doing this, double check that you
are using Font/DA Mover version 3.8 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 3.8 or greater, then you have a version of Font/DA Mover
that will install GoudyHundred. If you have Suitcase II or MasterJuggler,
follow their instructions for the installation of new fonts.
All the other files you can ignore, unless you have Fontographer 3.0 or any
later version or you have a PC.
GoudyHundred Type 1 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 fully ATM-compatible Type 1 format. Install as
you would any other PostScript font. The Fontographer outline source file
is also included so you can modify any of the characters of this font should you
so wish. If you wish to preserve the font╒s Type 1 characteristics, you will
need to have Fontographer 3.2 or later.
NOTE FOR PC USERS:
Fontographer 3.2 now creates both a .PFB file and a .PFM file, both of
which are necessary and sufficient for use with ATM for Windows. If you use
a PC and have ATM for Windows, you can install the .PFB and .PFM files in
their usual places and ATM will create your screen fonts for you.
Since PCs are about a magnitude more complex than Macs, I can only tell you
how and where I put *my* files and you'll have to figure out if this is the
right place for you on your PC:
1. Put the .PFB file in your C:\PSFONTS directory. If you have any Adobe
fonts, this directory will already be on your hard disk.
2. Put the .PFM file in your C:\PSFONTS\PFM directory. If you have
PageMaker for the PC installed, you will already have this directory.
3. Open the ATM Control Panel and Add the GoudyHundred font to your font
list.
4. Edit your WIN.INI file so that the .PFB file will download properly. Look
at other downloadable font entries in the softfonts section of the PostScript
printer entry for details on how to do this.
That's all there is to it. Good luck!
