- 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 ÒHelvetica went to MiamiÓ 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 IIª font file). Be sure you have the
- TrueTypeª 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 IIª, 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 ÒFontsÓ. Thanks for making it easy,
- Apple Computer!
-
- Note: Some applications require you to restart before they will recognize
- your new font.
-
-
- *********Type 1ª version:
-
- To use LauraMcCrary with ATMª, 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 IIª font file). Be sure to install the LauraMcCra file
- into your system folder. The outline file will work with ATMª and/or a
- PostScriptª 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 IIª, 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 ATMª and/or a PostScriptª laser
- printer.) If you are using ATMª version 2.0.2 or later, the LauraMcCra
- file should be in your extensions folder. If you are using ATMª 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 Òwhat-you-see-is-what-you-getÓ).
-
- If you want your Type 1 font to print smoothly, it must be placed in the
- proper place (as described above).
