About IglooLaser... July 5, 1991 Welcome to IglooLaser, a novelty TrueType laser font that is compatible with Apple's new type format in System 7. The all-caps font contains all upper case characters of the alphabet, numerals and some punctuation. The individual characters are topped with freshly fallen snow the way it lays on evergreen branches. The font is best for display purposes in publications that have aspecial wintry theme.IglooLaser started out life as a series of Macintosh characters that had been scanned out of a magazine by Allen Rothwell, a desktop publisher based in Baltimore (he's SultanJim on America Online). He uploaded the Adobe Illustrator PostScript files to my BBS here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area of Minnesota. I subsequently created a Macintosh Type 3 PostScript font using ArtImporter from Altsys. That font was uploaded to the Macintosh DTP/WP Forum on America Online where it was improved by William j. Krasovic (Kras) and picked up and redone as a Type 1 font by another user. It truly has been a group project.With the spirit of a group effort in mind, I am now offering IglooLaser in thisTrueType format. The font is free. Follow the standard instructions for installing fonts in System 7 or use with System 6.07 by using the TrueType INIT. Several software products were used during the course of this font's evolution. Mac versions of Adobe Illustrator, and Altsys' ArtImporter, Metamorphos is Proand Fontographer 3.2 all were part of the process. The final conversion ofIglooLaser to this TrueType format was done with Metamormophis Pro. A version ofIglooLaser is also available in the ATM/Windows 3 version as IGLOOLAS.ZIP.The DTP Exchange is a BBS system devoted to desktop publishing and graphicstopics.
