Subject: Adobe Screen Fonts
I've gotten a number of screen fonts from Adobe's forum on CompuServe.
For those who don't know, CompuServe is a commercial (i.e., for $$)
communications service. You call in through various ways, TeleNet, TymeNet,
or CompuServe's own network, and you're connected to a number of services. I
won't describe them all, so as to avoid being an advertisement for them. One
of the more useful services is user groups. People place messages for public
view, similar to INFO-MAC, so that anyone can comment. Also, they keep
collections of files (similar to INFO-MAC's archives) for users to download.
The user groups are often tied to vendors, which is an advantage for their
customers, but can't be duplicated here, because of the non-commercial nature
of this network. The disadvantage is cost, which can be high, but scales
directly with use.
For those interested and with Compu$erve accounts its just GO ADOBE. They've
got screen fonts in both Mac and IBM formats, and alot of other info on
PostScript, Illustrator, etc. They have screen fonts for just about all of
their fonts, with a few exceptions. The exceptions are for fonts like Lucida,
because Bigelow and Holmes (the licensor) doesn't allow it. I personally
can't see their point, because I'm not terribly sure of the impact of someone
with only an Imagewriter using their fonts without a license will have on the
DTP market, but that's their privelege. I've heard you can order a disk for
$50 and get screen fonts for (just about) everything that they distribute, but
haven't done that myself.
I've been using the screen fonts from Adobe for some time now, though not with
Expressionist. I've been happy with them on several fronts: (1) they're
better looking than Apple's (Times is spaced out more a little more, giving it
an improved appearance, in my humble opinion. Also, Symbol has much improved
line spacing and so doesn't mess things up AS MUCH as Apple's version), (2)
they've got the style fonts included (i.e., the TRUE bold, and italic and bold
italic versions), and (3) in some cases, more sizes (e.g., Times includes 5
and 7 point sizes, which is important if you like to sub/superscript more than
one level.).
There are a few cavaets though (aren't there ALWAYS?):
Point (1) means that some of your older documents might get mussed up alot,
especially if you used many spaces and tabs to push text around to place it
where you want it. This happens very rarely if you do it CORRECTLY, i.e.,
with hanging indents, etc. But then some folks don't seem to have the time or
the inclination, therefore those folks may be in for a bit of work on old,
heavily formatted documents.
Point (2) has impact on several areas, some good, some bad. First the bad
news. All the style fonts, in their various sizes take up alot more disk
space. Those users without a great deal of free disk space could be in
trouble if they like alot of different fonts. Suitcase or Font/DA Juggler can
be a BIG help here. Also, when you go to install these new fonts, you MUST
remove the old Times font before you put in the new one. You can't just add
the style fonts, and get it right. The old font number bugaboo will bite you,
and you'll give up the disk space without having the benefits.
One other point of bad news. Apple insists on "updating" the screen fonts
when it releases system updates. This means that your collection of high
quality screen fonts will be selectively corrupted by Apple's ideas of a good
screen font. Thus you'll have to reinstall the fonts, after you've used
Installer to update your system.
FLAME ON
The whole idea of Installer was to avoid this sort of thing, so why Apple
insists on this, I'll never understand. I suppose having an option to "update"
the screen fonts would confuse the user. Apple seems insistent on insulating
the user from the technology of the computer by not giving them any choice, or
ever telling them anything about what is going on under the hood. Steve Jobs
strikes again (from beyond the grave, so to speak).
FLAME OFF
The good news is that you'll get better spacing on your output as well as
higher readability on the screen. A good test to see the difference (and
check if you've installed them correctly), is to type a phrase with a lower
case "f" and then italicize it. If you get a slanted "f", then it didn't work,
but if you got a nicely curved, readable "f", then you've got the italic
screen font working. The differences are there for the bold, and bold italic,
but they're more subtle. You can forego the style fonts, but if you've got the
space, or if you're picky about appearance, you won't regret it. (The more I
do this sort of thing, the more I find out that the font design-types really
do know about this stuff.)
By the way, the style fonts I've included have been marked with a period at
the beginning of the name, so that they won't appear in the font menu of your
applications (you will be able to see them in the Font/DA mover menus). This
helps reduce the clutter, and also prevents you from selecting the Times
Italic font, and then selecting Italic from the Style menu. If you've
installed the fonts correctly, when you select the Italic style from the menu,
the Mac will switch to the Italic version of the font. This is really what the
LaserWriter does anyway, which explains why italicizing or bolding Symbol
appears onscreen, but then it doesn't print that way. This happens because
there is no Symbol Italic, or Symbol Bold font installed in printer. Now all
we need to do is convince Adobe that bold or italic symbols ARE in fact
useful, and maybe it will change.
Finally, Apple's version of Symbol has an extra size (9 pt) compared to
Adobe's version. This is supposedly because 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24 point
sizes are the standard screen font sizes that Adobe produces (except for Times
and Helvetica, so much for standards). Which leaves one wondering if there is
a way out of this dilemma. If anyone has any experience with the FontSizer
program, which generates screen fonts from a PostScript printer, I'd love to
hear from you. I've heard it is excellent for producing good screen fonts in
larger sizes, but I'm wondering about smaller sizes (e.g., 7, 8, & 9 point).
FLAME ON
All of this would be moot, if Apple had produced a display technology that was
not display dependent. This they actually used to claim, but its only sort
of, kinda display independent. Display PostScript would be a natural, but it
isn't absolutely necessary for this. After all TeX (and LaTeX) have screen
previewers that run on everything from high resolution workstation screens to
TEXT-ONLY terminals. All Apple had to do was make the display appear as close
to the output as possible, not screwup the output based on the display, and
how many screen fonts/sizes the poor user has in the system he's using for
printing.
FLAME OFF
Anyways, the next two mail messages will contain the screen fonts that I've
described for Symbol and Times. If there is interest, I'll upload others.

This is because the known strains of nVIR are not too bright and miss the
bad return code that they get when they try to modify protected code
resources. Applications written in THINK C, for instance.
Also, there are now at least two strains on nVIR out there. Virus Rx
doesn't detect either, and of course both it and Interferon are
susceptible to infection. Virus Rx monitors itself, and will "commit
suicide" if it finds that it has been modified. I don't know if
Interferon does anything similar.
In either case, the virus DOES check for an nVIR 10 resource in the
System file. If it finds it, it will remove itself from applications
as they run. You can add this with ResEdit, which will make the System
look infected to Interferon, but the neatest way to do it (courtesy of
Steve Brecher) is to create it in a separate resource file and then to
open that file with Suitcase. This makes it look like it's in the System
file's resources, fooling nVIR.

I don't know if I can help you with your MacKermit, but if you are
interested in how to do it in MacTerminal or Red Ryder 9.4, I'll try
to explain. In MacTerminal there is a pull-down menu for the keypad.
You just pull down, move the arrow to the desired key, and release the
mouse button.
In Red Ryder there is a menu called special. In it you normally
select the GENERAL STATUS BAR. If you are connected to a VAX you may
select the VT100 STATUS BAR. There you will find a two-dimensional

Subject: Randomizer
I noticed that I had the order of some of the resources wrong in
the posted version of Randomizer. It caused Randomizer to
perform it's function in a manner different than described in the
documentation. Such is life with no Q&A department. Part of the
reason it's free I suppose.
Randomizer copies files at system startup. It makes any
configuration file a variable thing (assuming you have disk space
for a couple of different copies). It works ideally in
conjunction with startupscreens (on ALL Macintosh models) and
startupsounds (with either SoundInit or SoundMaster). It can
change any other file with merely a flick of ResEdit.
The documentation has been expanded upon and reformatted. That's
what takes all the time.
Look for Randomizer in Robert C. Eckhardt's new book, The Fully
Powered Macintosh. He considers it an essential part of the
Macintosh experience, and I agree. Fabian Ramirez is also a
staunch supporter and one of the people who makes heavy use of
the screen & sound coordination capabilities so that a picture
shows and accompanying sounds play at startup. Very cool, Fabe.

Subject: Stevie vi clone for Macintosh.
This is a binary distribution of "Stevie, a vi clone" which I
obtained from comp.sources.unix and ported to the Macintosh environment
in two days. The documentation which came with the editor is included,
but some familiarity with the UNIX vi editor would be helpful.
The program as I found it was quite portable, and the system
specific file to make it work on the Macintosh only amounts to between
500 and 600 lines of code. Stevie doesn't support many of the features of
the real vi, string substitution for example, but it does support quite
a large subset, and DOES know how to do tags, which can be quite helpful
if you are writing C code.
Don't look for complicated menus, scroll bars, or grow boxes, since
there aren't any. Don't try to move the cursor around with the mouse,
either, since that would mess up my idea of the vi "Look and Feel."
If you want to resize the window, try
":set lines=xx columns=yy"
If you want to do fancy things with function keys, try Macro Maker.
Stevie is compiled with Aztec C v 3.6c, and has been tested on a
Macintosh II and a Mac Plus with System 6.0.1.
If I don't get too many horrible bug reports about the binary's
behavior, I will send the sources to info-mac, too.
