This font was originally a Mac Postscript font was either shareware or PD. I have included in this zip some of the original Mac or Pc docs which came with the unconverted font or with a font originally created by the same author, if I could find it. This documentation is not necessary for you to read to use this font with Adobe Type Manager, though you might want to contribute something to the indivual originally created the font. I converted these Mac fonts Postscript type 1 hinted fonts which can be used with Adobe Type Manager for Windows on a pc. I used Corel Draw ver. 2.0 to convert these fonts to the Zsoft .Otl format, and then used Zsoft's SoftType to create the hinted type 1 Postscript format with both .pfb and .pfm files.

QUICK START FOR WINDOWS USERS To use this PostScript typeface with Windows you MUST have the MICROGRAFX PostScript Driver Version 2.1. Simply copy Heidelbe.pfa and Heidelbe.wfm to the directory you have told the MGX driver you keep your downloadable fonts in. On most systems this will be \psfonts. Next delete mgxps.fit from this same directory. Then launch Windows and gain access to the driver through PageMaker or control.exe. Either download Heidelbe to your printer or leave it's status as inline. Screen fonts will be substituted in by Windows. Next select Heidelbe so it appears in your list of typefaces and is shown as downloaded or inline. Start PageMaker and open the supplied publication called Heidelbe.pm3. It's a 7 page document and will show you how the characters are mapped above 125 along with two Postscript files using Heidelbe. Kerning examples are also provided along with character samples. At the very least you should keep the print out of page 1 for future reference since it tells you how to access these characters in PageMaker. If you try and print all 7 pages in one print job on some systems your print job may abort. Changing your transmission retry setting to 500 via control.exe may cure this problem. In that case print each page separately or select re-try. Some systems may experience better luck completing this 7 page print out if Heidelbe is selected as Inline....it's your choice. QUICK START FOR VENTURA PUBLISHER USERS Copy Heidelbe.afm and Heidelbe.pfa to the directory you keep your PostScript fonts in. On most systems this will be c:\psfonts. If you want to check the location open postscpt.cnf which is in your Ventura directory. I have also enclosed Heidelbe.wid which assigns number 306 to Heidelbe. If this does not conflict with your system just copy it to your Ventura directory. If it does you will have to run afmtovfm and vfmtowid. Heidelbe.lst is also enclosed for just this purpose. After completing these steps you are ready to start VP and use Heidelbe. Screen fonts will be substituted in by VP.The choice of weather to use Heidelbe as download or resident is up to you. If you select resident then use the proper utility to download Heidelbe to your printer before you run VP. If you wish to see the mapping for the extended characters load charset.chp. Select Heidelbe as the font for this document and print it. Retain this 2 page print out for future reference. Please consult your manuals if you need further help. COREL DRAW USE A file called Heidelbe.afm is also provided for your use. One of it's uses is to allow you to convert Heidelbe for use with Corel Draw. Launch WFNBOSS and select Substitution and tell it where Heidelbe.afm is located and then convert it to CD's own .wfn format. If you try Readable PostScript by mistake WFNBOSS will not convert Heidelbe. Corel's WFNBOSS ONLY supports Fontographer Version 3.X generated fonts via Substitution. If you own other PostScript Type 3 faces created with Version 2.x of Fontographer you may use Readable PostScript for the conversion. Corel has promised to upgrade WFNBOSS to support Fontographer Version 3.x generated fonts via Readable PostScript in the not to distant future. Once the conversion is complete close WFNBOSS and launch CD. Heidelbe will appear as the last entry in the list of available typefaces. I use BANFF for a screen display. Please consult your Manuals if you need further help. DESIGN HISTORY Heidelbe was designed by Bill Horton of Santa Barbara CA. Bill has been working with type for over 20 years and is very talented. The name was shortened for DOS. Bill shares in the Shareware income and has provided us with exclusive rights to distribute and convert Heidelbe for the DOS platform. To view his work in Fontographer is a joy. I have also set Heidelbe as a masthead for a newspaper and used it with restraint for enlarged caps. It is a splendid face for certificates and awards which looks it's best at 2540 DPI. What follows are Bill's own words: In what might be called an evolutionary process, here is the font Heidelberg 89. It is what I consider to be a refinement to MacHumaine, though it is conceivable others may prefer the previous version. It is my feeling that Heidelberg is more truly a calligraphic style font than MacHumaine, with its more severe strokes and sharper angles. I have used it for certificates commercially and have had good comments only. I know there is a school of thought which believes it is improper to create a font that simulates actual pen or quill hand writing. THANK YOU! Without the help of a number of people this technology would have never been possible. Altsys Corporation for Fontographer. Certain PostScript modifications by Barry Nostradamus Sher of Nostradamus Advertising,New York,NY (212-581-1362). Advice and words of encouragement from Pat Beirne,Kathleen Tinkel,Stephen Owades,and Eldor Gemst. To the best of my knowledge Heidelbe is the SECOND Shareware fully functional PostScript typeface for Windows and Ventura Publisher. It may also be the second in this area for the PC platform. Our own Diego1 being the FIRST. I NEED YOUR INPUT If Heidelbe is output at higher resolutions than 300 DPI I would appreciate a sample. Knowing that Heidelbe is a well behaved font I am sure that it will be used with other applications that run from DOS as well as GEM and Windows.Please give me specifics in this area. Your thoughts are always welcome for future fine tuning. FURTHER READING Perhaps your user manual or a fine bit of research on the use of the MGX driver which is available on CIS in the msapp library 2 called MGX.NOS. by Barry "NOS" Sher (CIS# 76200,3631) SHAREWARE REGISTRATION If you find Heidelbe of use and wish to help insure the development of future low cost high quality PostScript typefaces please send $20.00 along with your name and address to: Steve Shubitz Published Perfection! 7486 La Jolla Blvd. Suite 552 La Jolla CA. 92037 (619) 546-9309 CIS # 72047,3402 InterLink (DTP Forum:Steve Shubitz) If you use Heidelbe and don't register it you won't help me much and certainly won't receive upgrades or future releases of other typefaces for Shareware evaluation. If and when the Type 1 specs become available and Altsys releases Metamorphis or any utility to better hint at low resolution and small point size registered users will get an upgrade at a nominal cost. COMMERCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Support is available by phone,CIS, and InterLink. I am available for large Electronic Publishing jobs as well as Consulting using Windows. If you desire a custom typeface or conversion of Type 3 Fontographer faces from the MAC to the PC please contact me for specific quotes. It is the humble opinion of yours truly that Heidelbe is equal to or exceeds any Type 3 PostScript typeface available today. Many have suggested that we sell the face in the retail market like most other vendors and only release a "crippled" version for Shareware Evaluation. That's a subtle hint that I need YOUR support for continued success. If Shareware works then that's the way all future typefaces will be released and that is my preferred method at the present time. We currently have 11 more PostScript typefaces under development. VERSION HISTORY Version 1.0 This is the first release. OTHER POSTSCRIPT SHAREWARE FONTS RELEASED Diego1 (Version 1.2) is the latest.
