To keep things interesting, a number of companies fall into more than one of the above categories. For example, Adobe has designed some of its own fonts (acting as a foundry), created its own rasterizer (acting as a rasterizer company), and also sells the rasterizer as an add-on product for both Windows and the Macintosh (acting as an application company).
New Deal software includes outlines for several typefaces, which are very similar to fonts from other companies. The chart below gives the comparisons for the fonts included in New Deal Office. In addition, New Deal offers additional typefaces through font packages you can purchase directly from us. These fonts are the easiest way to add new typefaces.
Below are the original nine New Deal Office outline fonts along with names of equivalent or nearly equivalent fonts from other companies.
New Deal Name | = Is SimilarTo |
Cranbrook | = Century Schoolbook |
Cooperstown | = Cooper Black |
Sather Gothic | = Franklin Gothic |
Shattuck Avenue | = Park Avenue |
Superb | = Broadway |
URW Mono | = Courier |
URW Roman | = Times Roman |
URW Sans | = Helvetica |
URW Symbol PS | = Postscript Symbol |
Besides purchasing our additional font packages, there are a number of other ways to get additional fonts.
ATech Software published a conversion program called AllType which will convert a large number of formats, including Adobe Type 1, True Type, ATech's FastFont format, Nimbus-Q, and New Deal into any of the other formats. Atech is no longer in business, but AllType is still available from some retailers and from PageTech ( http://www.tfb.com/pagetech/).
MicroLogic Software offers fonts in an MLS font format which can be converted into New Deal fonts. MicroLogic has two font packages called Display Faces and Classic Faces. These packages include a program (MT.EXE) which will convert these fonts from MicroLogic's MLS font format into a large number of formats, including native Nimbus-Q and New Deal format (choose the Geoworks Ensemble option).
MicroLogic also makes a rasterizer for Windows and WordPerfect and this package includes a program which will convert Adobe Type 1 fonts into MicroLogic's MLS font format. This program is known as MI.EXE and can be used in conjunction with MT.EXE to convert Adobe Type 1 fonts into New Deal format.
Once the fonts are converted to the New Deal format, simply copy the font files into the \USERDATA\FONT directory. Your New Deal software will find the fonts and add them to your font menus in your applications, or you can run Preferences, Fonts to customize your list. You may need to exit and re-start your New Deal software before it recognizes your new fonts.
