Rees 2008/11/14 with the permission of Dan Hosek. + +The CMPICA family was created by Don Hosek in 1988 to fill a need for +a usable face for submitting fiction manuscripts to mainline +publishers. Changes to parameters were made to create a face with +roughly the same proportions as the Xerox Pica typeface available for +use on Xerox laser printers and some changes to encoding were added as +well so that TeX input conventions could be used to produce output +that matched standard typescript conventions. In short, `` and '' +become a straight double quote, ` and ' become a straight single +quote, --- becomes -- and -- becomes -. In addition, two auxiliary +fonts are provided: cmpicati underlines characters and cmpicab +underlines characters with a squiggly underline. Either of these fonts +may be used as a model of how to apply the same effect to other +MF-generated types. + +A modified version of the original companion LaTeX [2.09] style can be +found floating around on the net if one looks hard. A companion math +face was proposed but never completed. It was envisioned to be a mix +of typewriter-style characters and hand-drawn letters to give the full +antediluvian effect. + +Don Hosek +Quixote Digital Typography +dhosek@quixote.com +fax: 909-625-1342 -- cgit v1.2.3
