KATHLITA TYPEFACE INFORMATION  
  
Kathlita is a typeface that was designed specifically for use in creating  
newsletters.  It is an unusual typeface that appears very formal in larger  
sizes, but informal and highly legible in smaller sizes.  It is not speci-  
fically based on any previous typeface, and has a unique look and feel.  It  
was created using Fontographer 2.3 from the Altsys Corporation.  This is a  
complete typeface, including all the special characters currently supported  
by the Apple Macintosh.  Also included in this typeface is the 1/2 fraction  
(option-shift-1) so annoyingly missing from every Apple typeface. The family  
ID number is 231.  
  
ABOUT USEWARE:  
Kathlita is being marketed under the "useware" concept.  Which means that you 
 
don't have to pay for it until you actually use it on a job.  Laser printer  
and image-setting services may include samples of the typeface in their type  
sample catalogs without charge.  If you do actually use this typeface on a  
job for yourself or a customer, please send $20 to:

HOW TO INSTALL KATHLITA:  
To use Kathlita, drag the printer file (titled "Kathl") into your System  
folder.  Install the bit-mapped file (titled "Kathlita.bmap") using Font/DA  
Mover, or Suitcase.  DO NOT put the printer file inside another folder in  
your System folder.  Kathlita may also be installed directly in your printer  
or your printerÕs hard drive using either SendPS, Font Downloader, or the  
LaserStatus DA.  The additional file entitled "Kathlita.AFM" contains kerning 
 
information and should also be placed in the System folder.  This is  
optional.  
The typeface will function without it.  
  
ABOUT ITALICS AND BOLDFACE:  
There is much confusion among Mac users about what the words "italic" and  
"boldface" mean.  If you look closely at printed examples of many typefaces,  
you will notice that the italic characters are not merely slanted versions  
of basic typeface.  The easiest place to spot the difference is usually the  
lowercase "a."  The same is true of boldface characters. If a typeface has  
no italic or boldface version, the printer will either fake it by slanting  
and thickening the characters, or ignore the request (as is the case with  
Zapf Chancery).  
  
Kathlita does not currently have separate italics or boldface versions. For  
italics, you will get Kathlita oblique. Bold appears as a thickened version  
of the basic typeface. I hope to eventually develop satisfactory italic and  
bold versions of this typeface. The oblique type is an acceptable substitute  
for true italics, but I do not recommend the use of bold letters in the  
typefaceÕs current configuration.
