|
|
|
|
+Version 5.1 25-Mar-99
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Symmetry of the number 8 improved.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Curvature of tilde exagerated to prevent it from looking
|
|
|
|
+ like a straight line at low point sizes.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Version 5.0 16-Feb-99
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Several character shapes have been changed to improve
|
|
|
|
+ distinctiveness and legibility.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * All character outlines have been made more precise
|
|
|
|
+ and uniform, resulting in better on-screen legibility
|
|
|
|
+ and consistency (i.e. improved "color").
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * The hints for every character have been reviewed and
|
|
|
|
+ improved. Because the font does not use delta hints,
|
|
|
|
+ however, it's on-screen appearance is not quite as good
|
|
|
|
+ at low point sizes as fonts that do.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Direct support for bold, oblique, and bold oblique
|
|
|
|
+ family members has been dropped. The shapes calculated by
|
|
|
|
+ the rasterizer look better.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Version 4.0 11-Dec-97
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * The on-screen appearance has been improved considerably.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Characters are slightly (about 2%) narrower, allowing
|
|
|
|
+ more characters per line.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * MS-DOS graphics characters have been added. As a result
|
|
|
|
+ the character keymap has changed somewhat. The keycodes
|
|
|
|
+ for the standard characters has not changed, but the
|
|
|
|
+ keycodes of special characters such as '(c)' (copyright)
|
|
|
|
+ have changed.

|
+Version 3.0 24-Jan-97
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * Fixed a problem with the attributes of the oblique
|
|
|
|
+ family members.
|
|

|
+
|
|
|
|
+Version 2.0 5-May-96
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ * The entire font family (regular, oblique, bold, and
|
|
|
|
+ bold oblique is supported.
|
|
|
|
+ * The weight of the font has been made considerably
|
|
|
|
+ more uniform.
|
|
|
|
+ * Character shapes have been tweaked for a better
|
|
|
|
+ screen appearance.
|
|
|
|
+ * Additional character positions have been filled to
|
|
|
|
+ prevent problems with desktop publishing applications.
