TrueType Font CHESS MAYA
Update: August 8, 1998

I have designed this font to create diagrams in chess publications for
children. The figures follow the silhouette of the traditional Staunton
pieces, and therefore are easily related to them. The drawings was created
in Corel Draw 3.0 and exported to TTF format in Corel Draw 7.0. I made the
font in the "Colegio La Salle de San Cristobal" (La Salle School of San
Cristobal), located in the mountains of the south of Mexico, part of the
region where the Mayan civilization developed. The font is freeware, I hope
it is useful for you. If you want to repay us, you can send us some other
fonts for creating chess diagrams (we are collecting them). Your comments
and suggestions would be welcome; please send them to either of address that
appear below.

MAYAFONT.TTF CHESS MAYA font - Ver. 2.0
CHESMAYA.DOC Sample and keymap.

The font is installed in Windows, as in any other TTF font. It will be
helpful to you for making chess diagrams and figurine notation in the word
processors which are run under Windows. The file CHESMAYA.DOC which
accompanies this file is made on Word 6.0, and contains a sample of the
creation of diagrams in a word proccesor and a keymap of this font. You will
not see these characters until the 'Chess Maya' font is installed in your
computer. The distribution of the figures on the keyboard is the same as in
the CHESS MARROQUIN font, as follows:


DIAGRAM BORDERS:
SINGLE DOUBLE EXTRA *
Top left corner 1 ! or 033 a - A
Top border 2 " 034
Top right corner 3 # 035 s - S
Left border 4 $ 036
Right border 5 % 037
Bottom left corner 7 / 047 d - D
Bottom border 8 ( 040
Bottom right corner 9 ) 041 f - F

BOARD POSITION ASSIGNMENTS:
WHITE SQUARE DARK SQUARE
Squares [space] or * 042 + 043
White pawn p P
Black pawn o O
White knight n N
Black knight m M
White bishop b B
Black bishop v V
White rook r R
Black rook t T
White queen q Q
Black queen w W
White king k K
Black king l L

* The EXTRA keys contain round corners. The keys (x), (X), (.), and (:)
contain auxiliary symbols to indicate individual movements of the pieces.

NOTE: Also you find borders with the coordinates of chessboard. For simple
borders, type the ASCII codes from 0192 to 0207, and for double
borders from 0224 to 0239. Don't forget to type [Alt] and the ZERO
which goes with each code to generate these characters.

The figurine notation pieces are in the ASCII codes from 0162 to 0167.

I recommend you to print the .DOC file and see the complete keymap.
