DESCRIPTION OF CONTENTS



The Thames font family is Rubicon's implementation of the Times design.

It is an isometric font clone of the original.



Rubicon's isometric font clones are digitised on a 2000x2000 pixel grid.

They are isometric to their namesakes, meaning that the Postscript font

metrics are the same. This includes character widths, baselines, side

bearings, bounding boxes, and kerning pairs. MacIntosh versions include

10 & 12 point hand-tuned screen fonts.



FONT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES



Rubicon's Isometric Fonts are provided in Postscript and Truetype

versions, in PC or MAC format. Installation instructions are given

below for the following operating systems:



Windows 3.1 & Truetype

Windows 3.x & Postscript

Windows 95 & Truetype

Windows 95 & Postscript

Windows NT & Truetype

MS-DOS & Truetype

MS-DOS & Postscript

OS/2 & Postscript

MAC System 7 & Truetype

MAC System 7 & Postscript

MAC System 6 & Truetype

MAC System 6 & Postscript



PC versions can also be used with certain other computer platforms or

operating systems, and in certain printing devices which accept

downloadable fonts directly.



The Isometric Fonts software is distributed in either uncompressed

format (ready to use) or in a compressed archive format, e.g. ZIP for

PC's or a Stuffit archive for MAC's. Compressed font archives must be

expanded before installation (this has probably been done already, to

permit the user to read this file). The font installation software will

need the location of the new (uninstalled fonts), i.e. the names of the

disk drive and directory path (folder) where the new fonts are stored.



The new font files should be placed either on a floppy diskette,

or in a temporary directory (folder) on a hard disk. These files are

not needed after installation, but a backup copy should be retained.

During installation, the font software is copied onto hard disk, in the

appropriate location.



WINDOWS 3.1 & TRUETYPE



To install Truetype fonts into Microsoft Windows 3.1, first note the

location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are stored. The name of the

disk drive is needed and the directory path, if any. From inside Windows



Switch to the program group "Main"

Open the icon "Control Panel"

Open the icon "Fonts" (not "Printers")

Select the "Add" button

The dialogue box "Add Fonts" will appear

Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:

Choose the disk drive letter from the "Drives" menu

(Disk drives are denoted a: b: c: etc.)

Choose the directory path, if any, from the "Directories" menu

The "List of Fonts" menu should display the new font names

Choose "Select All" to install all the new fonts

Or, select fonts individually from the "List of Fonts" menu

(Hold down the shift key to select more than one font)

Mark the option box "Copy fonts to Windows directory"

Choose "OK", then wait while Windows installs the selected fonts

Close the "Fonts" window to return to the Windows "Control Panel"

End



In case of difficulty, consult the MS-Windows User's Guide, under

"Truetype fonts, adding".



WINDOWS 3.x & POSTSCRIPT



Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows is an alternative to the Truetype

font rasterizer that is provided with Microsoft Windows 3.1. Older

versions of ATM also work with Windows 3.0. ATM uses Postscript Type1

fonts rather than Truetype fonts. The installation procedure for ATM 2.0

and Windows 3.1 is as follows. Other versions of ATM and/or Windows

operate similarly.



First, note the location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are stored.

The name of the disk drive is needed and the directory path, if any.

From inside Windows



Close any programs that are in use

Switch to the program group "Main"

Open the icon "ATM Control Panel"

Select the "Add" button

The dialogue box "Add ATM Fonts" will appear

Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:

Choose the disk drive letter from the "Directories" menu

(Disk drives are denoted [-a-] [-b-] [-c-] etc.)

Choose the directory path, if any, from the "Directories" menu

The "Available Fonts" menu should display the new font names

Select fonts individually from this menu

(Hold down the shift key to select more than one font)

Set the "Target directory for Postscript fonts"

the default should be OK, normally "c:\psfonts"

Set the "Target directory for font metrics files"

the default should be OK, normally "c:\psfonts\pfm"

Select the "Add" button

Wait while ATM installs the selected fonts

Exit the ATM Control Panel

Choose the option to "Restart Windows", then wait

End



In case of difficulty, consult the ATM User Guide, under "Adding and

removing fonts".



WINDOWS 95 & TRUETYPE



The Windows 95 Truetype font installation procedure is almost identical

to that of Windows 3.1. To install Truetype fonts into Microsoft Windows

95, first note the location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are

stored. The name of the disk drive is needed and the folder (directory),

if any. From inside Windows 95



Switch to the program group "Main"

Open the icon "Control Panel"

Open the icon "Fonts"

From the "File" menu, choose "Install New Font"

The dialogue box "Add Fonts" should appear

Specify the location of the new fonts as follows:

Choose the disk drive letter from the "Drives" menu

(Disk drives are denoted a: b: c: etc.)

Choose the folder, if any, from the "Folders" menu

The "List of Fonts" menu should display the new font names

Choose "Select All" to install all the new fonts

Or, select fonts individually from the "List of Fonts" menu

(Hold down the shift key to select more than one font.)

Mark the option box "Copy fonts to Fonts folder"

Choose "OK", then wait while Windows installs the selected fonts

Close the "Fonts" window to return to the Windows "Control Panel"

Close the "Control Panel" window to return to Windows 95

End



In case of difficulty, consult the MS-Windows 95 documentation.



WINDOWS 95 & POSTSCRIPT



Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for Windows 95 is an alternative to the

Truetype font rasterizer that is provided with Microsoft Windows 95. ATM

uses Postscript Type1 fonts rather than Truetype fonts. Installation

should be similar to Windows 3.1 (see above), or consult the ATM for

Windows 95 documentation.



WINDOWS NT & TRUETYPE



For installation of Truetype fonts, consult the MS-Windows NT documen-

tation. If and when Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is available for Windows

NT, consult the ATM documentation for installation of Postscript fonts.



MS-DOS & TRUETYPE



MS-DOS does not support Truetype fonts directly. Those MS-DOS

applications with Truetype font support each have their own unique

installation procedures. Consult the corresponding User Guides.



Example: Word Perfect 6.0.



MS-DOS & POSTSCRIPT



MS-DOS does not support Postscript fonts directly. Those MS-DOS

applications with Postscript font support each have their own unique

installation procedures. Consult the corresponding User Guides.



Examples: Adobe Font Foundry, Word Perfect 6.0, Ventura Publisher.



OS/2 & POSTSCRIPT



OS/2 provides direct support for Postscript fonts. Note that many users

run Windows 3.1 on top of OS/2. Windows programs require that the fonts

be installed into Windows (as above). Either Truetype or Postscript

fonts can be used.



To install Postscript fonts into OS/2, first note the location where the

new (uninstalled) fonts are stored. The drive letter is needed and the

directory path, if any. Typical examples would be "A:\" or "C:\TEMP".



From the OS/2 System icon view, use the mouse to:



double click the "System Setup" icon

double click the "Font Palette" icon

single click the "Edit Font" button

single click the "Add" button

set the drive/directory of the new fonts

e.g. "A:\" or "C:\TEMP"

single click the "Add" button

a list of filenames will appear under "Font Files"

to select fonts for installation, click one or more filenames

the corresponding font names will appear

click again to deselect unwanted fonts

single-click the "Add" button to install selected fonts

close the "Edit Font" window

close the "Font Palette" window

end



MAC SYSTEM 7 & TRUETYPE



To install Truetype fonts into MacIntosh System 7 (or newer), locate and

identify the Truetype font files, indicated by a suitcase icon with a

filename ending in "TT", then drag them into the System folder. System 7

will respond, asking for permission to move the font files into the

System Font sub-folder. Select the "OK" button. The new fonts will not

be available to currently running applications until they have been quit

and re-launched.



MAC SYSTEM 7 & POSTSCRIPT



Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for MacIntosh is an alternative to the Truetype

font rasterizer that is provided with System 7. Older versions of ATM

also work with System 6. ATM uses Postscript Type1 fonts rather than

Truetype fonts.



To install Postscript fonts for use with ATM, locate and identify

the screen font files (indicated by a suitcase icon with a filename

ending in "screen") and the Postscript Type 1 files (icon shows a

printer and the numeral "1"). Drag these files into the System folder.

The operating system (Finder) will respond, asking for permission to

move the font files into the System Font sub-folder. Select the "OK"

button. The new fonts will not be available to currently running

applications until they have been quit and re-launched.



MAC SYSTEM 6 & TRUETYPE



Truetype fonts can be used with later versions of System 6. The follow-

ing software is required: System 6.0.6 or newer, the Truetype INIT, and

the Font D/A Mover 4.1 or newer. These were formerly available free of

charge from Apple.



Using Font D/A Mover, install the entire contents of the Truetype font

suitcases. These contain 1 or more Truetype font outlines, and optional-

ly may contain 1 or more hand-tuned screen fonts.



MAC SYSTEM 6 & POSTSCRIPT



Adobe Type Manager (ATM) for MacIntosh is an alternative to the Truetype

font rasterizer. Older versions of ATM will work with System 6. ATM uses

Postscript Type1 fonts rather than Truetype fonts. The Font D/A Mover is

required. This was formerly available free of charge from Apple.



To install Postscript fonts for use with ATM, first locate and identify

the screen font files (indicated by a suitcase icon with a filename

ending in "screen") and the Postscript Type 1 files (icon shows a

printer and the numeral "1").



Using Font D/A Mover, install the contents of the screen font suit-

case(s). Then, drag the Type1 font file(s) into the System Folder. The

new fonts will not be available to currently running applications until

they have been quit and re-launched.
