INSTALLATION
-----------To install any TrueType font, simply copy it to your Windows\Fonts folder.
UPDATE 4.1
---------Slight upsizing to lowercase letters; updates to some characters based on recent
logos; additional symbols; miscellaneous tweaking.
SPACING NOTES
------------The lowercase "i" and "j" have presented a spacing challenge due to their extrao
rdinarily large dots. They have been spaced so that they fit in well with other
lowercase characters. The problem with this narrow spacing is that the dot may o
verlap a preceding capital. While this overlap has been compensated for with ker
ning pairs, not all applications support kerning. So, I've provided a couple of
solutions for situations in which overlap is undesired but kerning is not an opt
ion.
The left brace key "{" will produce a dotless "i" and the right brace "}" a dotl
ess "j." The less-than sign "<" has an optional small dot that it can be typed d
irectly after the dotless characters to position the dot squarely on top.
Additionally, the greater-than sign ">" will produce a "hairspace" which can be
used to add a tiny bit of space before an "i" or "j" or any other character.
Note that not every capital requires pairing with these alternate versions -- fo
r instance, the pair "Di" looks fine without any modification or kerning.
The braces and greater/less than signs have been added to the font at new locati
ons. See the ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS section below.
KERNING NOTES
------------Some programs (like Microsoft Word) may require that you enable kerning before i
t will properly space kerning pairs. Kerning is highly recommended for this font
! (In MS Word: Format>Font>Character Spacing>Kerning for fonts...)
Also, many publishing programs allow you to manually adjust the tracking and lea
ding, so you can tweak the spacing between letters and lines to suit your specif
ic needs.
TO TYPE THE WALT DISNEY LOGO
---------------------------To accurately recreate the "Walt Disney" logo using text, enable kerning and typ
e "WaltDisney" with no space between the words. To type the logo as a dingbat, h
old down the Alt key while typing 0172 on the numeric keypad.
