New York font

Yvan,

You are not reading the post, which referred to the original fonts.

Are you suffering from memory shortage ?

All the original fonts that had city names such as Monaco, Cairo and New York etc were bitmap fonts, that is they were just dots on the screen, they didn't have outlines. Although I can't quite remember whether _Apple belatedly made TrueType versions of these._

Honestly I don't know why I bother.

I dislike to underline twice the same item in a given thread but I will make an exception 😉

Monaco bitmap was replaced by Monaco.ttf


and at this time it is delivered as Monaco.dfont which is also an outlined font.

The subject was and still is as far as I am concerned the New York font.

It's YOU, not me which wrote about monaco not existing as outlined font 😉

Consider yourself to be ignored from now on.

Honestly I don't know why I bother.

The city fonts for the Apple Macintosh introduced in January 1985 were bitmap only and had only one-to-one mapping from character codes to glyph codes. In the character set as it was in January 1985, the top 39 code points were unpopulated.

In August 1987, Sampo Kaasila set to work as Lead Engineer on a spline programming language to support scaling and a character-glyph model to support multiple choice mapping between one character code and many glyph codes.

There are posters who post that the Apple II introduced in 1977 had both upper case and lower case. It did not. And there are posters who post that mixing spot colour in a vat behind the press is the foundation of professional printing. It is not.

With a smile ... -:).

I apologizes Henrick but My Apple || + had lowercases.

Was it a special ROM ? I don't remember.

I remember than I designed a special ROM later for my Apple //e which switched between the French and the English set of characters when the official one switched between French set and the mouse chars.

Hello,

Im looking for Newyork font. I've tried version 2.4.2 of openoffice but it hasn't got it. I've tried myfonts.com as well and the version there won't unzip? maybe a corrupt file? Does anyone know of any where else i can get it?

cheers
