PREMIUM THIN (Type 1) Version 2.1.1
Tuesday, July 30, 1991
⌐1991 by James M. Harris
IMPORTANT NOTE: This version fixes all printing problems and postscript errors
associated with imagesetter output. This version also adds quotes and
apostrophes, which were missing in previous versions.
This is the final version of PREMIUM THIN. Those who have registered their copy
of the previous Type 3 or Type 1 versions are automatically registered for this
version. PREMIUM THIN is a beautiful Type 1 (ATM-compatible) display typeface
based on Letraset's Premier Lightline. This font has uppercase and lowercase
characters, numerals, and punctuation. PREMIUM THIN was created entirely with
Letraset╒s FontStudio 2.0 (release version). PREMIUM THIN includes a 24 and
48-point screenfont, the AFM file, and this READ ME--PREMIUM THIN document.
This font is fully hinted and and there are over 600 kerning pairs defined.
ALTERNATE CHARACTERS------------------------------
There are alternate characters for A, K, R, S, W, e, s, and w. Uppercase
alternates can be accessed by pressing Option-Shift-Character and the lowercase
alternates can be accessed by pressing Option-Character. For example, to get
the alternate uppercase A, you would press Option-Shift-A.
DESIGNSTUDIO AND READY,SET,GO! USERS:
DesignStudio and Ready,Set,Go! may not always display and print special
alternate characters in a FontStudio font. Both page-layout applications
default to the standard Symbol characters if the upper register of ASCII
characters is mapped differently from the standard font map.
The solution (using Apple's ResEdit utility) is as follows:
1. Launch ResEdit and open a copy of the DesignStudio (or RSG) application
(Never work on the original!).
2. Locate the STR# resource and open it.
3. Open STR# 556.
4. Click on the last row of asterisks in the lower left of the window. A
rectangle will appear around the asterisks.
5. Select NEW (or Insert New Field(s) if you are using ResEdit 2.0 or later)
from the File menu and then click the pointer in the new font name entry
area that appears and type the unique font name the unique font name in this
area. You must enter the unique font name exactly. Character for character,
spelling, correct upper and lowercase usage, and spacing between words is
crucial.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 (always clicking on the current last row of asterisks)
for each font for which you need the special (option or option-shift)
characters properly displayed and printed.
7. When you are done adding all the font names to the program, choose Quit from
the File menu and then click Yes to save the changes.
DesignStudio (or RSG) should now properly display and print the special
characters for each font whose name you've added to the program using this
procedure.
