About LauraMcCrary ProFont...
LauraMcCrary is a narrow-ish semi-bold sans-serif font with a little of the
old Florida Art Deco style. (sort of a ╥Helvetica went to Miami╙ style)
Even though it is somewhat Art Deco, it is very stable, readable, and can
be used in both text and display typface purposes.
LauraMcCrary is the second in a series of typefaces dedicated to our unborn
child. We don't know if it will be a he or a she, so LauraMcCrary is named
after our choice of a girl's name.
STUFF ABOUT FONTS
How to install LauraMcCrary ProFont
*********TrueType version:
6.0.7 or 6.0.8 users can install LauraMcCrary using Font/DA mover 3.8 or
later, and copy all of the files enclosed in the bitmap suitcase to your
system file (or your Suitcase II¬ font file). Be sure you have the
TrueType¬ init in your system folder at startup.
7.0 and 7.0.1 users can install LauraMcCrary by dragging the font suitcase
to the icon of your system folder. The system will install it into the
system file for you. If you are using Suitcase II¬, just drag the suitcase
onto your current SuitCase II suitcase font file.
7.1 users! Even though system 7.1 operates (in respect to fonts)
differently, you can still install TrueType fonts by dragging them to the
System folder icon. Instead of placing them in the system file, system 7.1
will place them in a folder called ╥Fonts╙. Thanks for making it easy,
Apple Computer!
Note: Some applications require you to restart before they will recognize
your new font.
*********Type 1¬ version:
To use LauraMcCrary with ATM¬, you must install the bitmap file and the
outline file (in this case, it is named "LauraMcCra") must be in the system
folder before ATM will work with it.
6.0.x users can install LauraMcCrary using Font/DA mover 3.8 or later, and
copy all of the files enclosed in the bitmap suitcase to your system file
(or your Suitcase II¬ font file). Be sure to install the LauraMcCra file
into your system folder. The outline file will work with ATM¬ and/or a
PostScript¬ laser printer.
7.0 and 7.0.1 users can install LauraMcCrary by dragging the font suitcase
to the icon of your system folder. The system will install it for you. If
you are using Suitcase II¬, just drag the suitcase onto your current
suitcase font file. Be sure to drag the LauraMcCra file onto your system
folder. (The outline file will work with ATM¬ and/or a PostScript¬ laser
printer.) If you are using ATM¬ version 2.0.2 or later, the LauraMcCra
file should be in your extensions folder. If you are using ATM¬ 2.0 or
older, the LauraMcCra file should be in the first level of your system
folder, but not in your extensions folder.
7.1 users! Now it's easier than ever! At the time of this note, ATM
2.0-3.0 work the same way. (I don't know if Adobe Systems will change the
way things work.) Since the system folder now contains a fonts folder,
your bitmap suitcases will be placed in this folder. HOWEVER, your
LauraMcCra (or other outline files) will be placed in the extensions
folder. Even though having lots of typefaces makes for a crowded
extensions folder, ATM still works wonderfully well with 7.1.
Note: Some applications require you to restart before they will recognize
your new font.
WHY ARE TYPE 1 FONTS IN TWO FILES?
The bitmap (or suitcase) file has been traditionally called the screen
font. It is responsible for doing all sorts of systemic things, but most
importantly, your Mac uses this part of the font to display your new
typeface at smaller type sizes. The other file, called an outline font (or
outline file) is designed to give ATM and/or your printer special
information about drawing your new typeface in OUTLINES (thereby the name
Outline), as opposed to drawing the letters in big, square chunks at large
typesizes. ATM takes this outline file and draws outlines to your screen
to make it look almost as nice as your printer will print it (sort of a
WYSIWYG ╥what-you-see-is-what-you-get╙).
If you want your Type 1 font to print smoothly, it must be placed in the
proper place (as described above).
If you have questions about typefaces (even if they're not mine), please
feel free to write or EMAIL me on America Online (UrsaBear). I do not
pretend to be a master typographer, but I can usually help with most
questions╔ we're all in this wonderful world of computers together, and I
will help if I can.
Many Thanks to all of you wonderful typeface users who have sent shareware
fees!! I am forever grateful for the large number of folks who have helped
my typefaces such a joy to make!

make sure to distribute this "Read Me" with them. Thanks.
