Almost Swiss Fonts v. 1.1 (15/7/2019, Alex Taylor) | Readme/What's new |
Almost Swiss OS/2 Bitmap Font
Version 1.1
Almost Swiss is an OS/2 sans-serif bitmap font designed to be suitable for
program screen text at higher resolutions. It is particularly well-suited
for use in lists, tables, and container controls.
Almost Swiss was inspired by the 8-point size of the system font "Helv" (or
"Swiss"), which in turn is a loose rasterized adaptation of Helvetica. The
problem with Helv is that point sizes above 10 (or above 8 at 120 dpi) use
very heavy strokes, which results in a quite different visual style.
Consequently, Almost Swiss was created to fulfill a desire for larger sizes
in the lighter Helv/Swiss style.
The above notwithstanding, version 1.1 introduces an extra weight, "Almost
Swiss Medium", at the 11 and 12 point sizes. This is slightly darker than
the standard (light) weight, and is provided mainly for the benefit of people
who run very high resolution screens and want something that looks a bit more
substantial.
Installation
Extract (unzip) ALMSWISS.FON from the distribution package.
If this is your first time installing Almost Swiss, use the Font Palette
(choose 'Edit', then 'Add', and type in the name of the temporary directory
where you placed the file ALMSWISS.FON).
IMPORTANT: If you have an old version of Almost Swiss installed, the file
will be "locked" by PMSHELL, meaning that you cannot simply copy the new
file over the old one.
To replace a previously-installed version, you must either:
- Unlock the file ALMSWISS.FON using a tool like REPLMOD or UNLOCK (the
latter is part of the LXLite package and is installed by default in
eComStation 2.x).
- Boot to a command prompt, separate maintenance system, or boot CD and
replace the file from there.
Supported Characters/Codepages
All sizes of Almost Swiss support the following EUGL characters sets: Latin-1,
Latin-2, PC Extended, Cyrillic, Baltic, Hebrew (including cantillation marks
and Yiddish), Greek, Arabic, Halfwidth Kana (Japanese) and Thai.
Terms of Use
Almost Swiss may be freely used, redistributed, and/or modified, by any
individual, group or organization, for any purpose.
