Fonts Ink's US-Bats
Documentation

INSTALLATION:
------------

Luckily there isn't much documentation needed to effectively use Fonts
Ink's US-Bats font in Windows. In fact what documentation you need you
already have.

To activate TrueType fonts, copy them to your WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory and
activate them via the Control Panel - Fonts menu.

Using these fonts within other systems will require installation as
outlined in the documentation of those systems.


THE FONT:
---------

US-Bats is Dingbats style symbol font that contains the black outline maps
of the 50 States, Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and the Continental U.S.
along with some patriotic symbols.

These characters look good at point sizes down to 8 pts. The fine detail
comes through in sizes even over 72 pts.



The following key will facilitate use of the US-Bats.

The state maps are scaled to be a constant height (because you order fonts
by height - points). Because of this long, horizontal states such as
Tennessee take up a great deal of width and look effectively larger.
States such as New Hampshire and Vermonts which are normally thought of as
upright (except possibly by Massachusetts) appear small.

Note also that the state outlines are based on the normally-recognized
conic projection. Thus horizontal lines appear as slight arcs and the
northern border of California and the eastern border of Alaska appear
skewed. Even Wyoming isn't a square state (regardless of what Colorado
says). We found that the outlines are much more recognizable this way.
