[comp.sys.mac.misc] System 6.07 and TrueType

xli@mcs.drexel.edu (Xing Li) (06/01/91)

Hi,

In the article 'Living without System 7.0' published on MacUser (June, 1991), I
learnt there is an init called TrueType INIT (Apple, free), which can be used 
to get TrueType fonts in a Mac runing System 6.07.  Does anybody know where I 
can get it? (I tried ftp.apple and sumex without hope).

I tested System 7.0 and really like it. However, I will keep use 6.07 for a 
while ...... (-: 

Thanks in advance.

Try downloading a file in 'dts/mac/sys.soft/truetype' called something
like stylewriter-install.  If it isn't there, be sure to post a message so
not too many people waste their time.  (Oh, yeah, it's on ftp.apple.com)

Hi,

	Thanks for everybody.  I got the TrueType INIT from ftp.apple.com in
the directory "/dts/mac/sys.soft/truetype", which contains the following files 

	mac-printing-tools.hqx
	personal-lw-ls-install.hqx
	stylewriter-install.hqx
	truetype-fonts-1-0.hqx

The TrueType INIT is hidden in "personal-lw-ls-install.hqx" and 
"stylewriter-install.hqx". 

I installed the INIT and the "truetype-fonts-1-0" in a MacPlus with 2.5 Mb RAM
running 6.07. It works great.
