They are isometric font clones of their namesakes. 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. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES TRUETYPE FONTS & WINDOWS 3.1 To install Truetype fonts into Microsoft Windows 3.1 (or newer), first note the location where the new (uninstalled) fonts are stored.

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". ATM, POSTSCRIPT FONTS, & WINDOWS 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.

MS-DOS: POSTSCRIPT OR TRUETYPE MS-DOS does not support scalable fonts directly. Those applications which support Postscript and/or Truetype fonts have their own unique installation procedures. Consult the User Guide for instructions. Examples: Adobe Font Foundry supports Postscript fonts, and Word Perfect 6.0 supports both Postscript and Truetype. TRUETYPE FONTS & MACINTOSH SYSTEM 7 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. ATM, POSTSCRIPT FONTS, & MACINTOSH 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. TRUETYPE FONTS & MACINTOSH SYSTEM 6 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.
