The font family "dayrom" +exhibits the normal latin character set, whereas "dayroms" +has the so-called "long s" and an additional ligature c-t. +For instance, the command + + \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{dayrom} + +in the preamble makes LaTeX use Day Roman with normal +character set as the default roman font family. + +Day Roman is supported with T1 (european) and TS1 +(textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the +commands + + \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} + \usepackage{textcomp} + +in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which +is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported. + +There is one single (roman) variant of the typeface only; +there are no corresponding italic, bold or smallcaps fonts +provided! + + + +Using the long s +---------------- +When using the font family "dayroms", entering the "s" +yields the so-called long s. The round s (aka "final s") can +be created by entering "s:". This method was introduced +with Y. Haralambous' old-german fonts and has been +established as a quasi-standard with TeX. The drawback is, +that \MakeUppercase does not handle "s:" properly. + +NB: +All ready-made combinations of s+accent are built upon the +round s in the font family dayroms, too. AFAIK, these +diacritics are only used in languages that must not be +written with a long s, anyway. + + + +NFSS classification +------------------- + +encodings family series shape FontName(s) +..................................................... +T1, TS1 dayrom m n DayRoman, + DayRoman-Expert +T1, TS1 dayroms m n DayRoman, + DayRoman-Expert + +The TS1 (textcomopanion) character set is only partially +covered; however, the Euro sign (\texteuro) is included. + +Unlike many other fonts, the kerning table supplied with +Day Roman covers also most of the accented letters in the +T1 character set. This results in proper kerning in many +non-English languages, too. + + + +About the typeface +------------------ +The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert Type1 fonts were made by +Apostrophiclab <http://www.apostrophiclab.com>; any +questions regarding the design of the fonts should be +addressed to <apostrophe@apostrophiclab.com>. + +The remainder of this section is an excerpt from the +original documentation in the archive file day_t1.zip: + +The two-tiers font included in this archive, Day Roman, is a +digitally redrawn version of what has come to be +historically known as the "Two Line Double Pica Roman", a +typeface designed by 16th century French punchcutter +Francois Guyot, and used in numerous books between 1535 and +1570, most notable of which are J. Steelsius's printing of +The Bible (1541) and Frisius (1551), Gillis Coppens van +Diest's printing of Erasmus (1544), Georgius (1544), Serlio +(1550) and Horatius (1552), and Rotarius's printing of +Livius Brechtius (1549). The type was also used extensively +by H. Dunham, and later J. Day, in London (the name Day +Roman is simply a reference to J. Day having used the type). +Original matrices of Guyot's roman type are now in the +Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp. + +A 1782 "Sale Catalog & Specimen of the James Foundry" shows +a reproduction of that same type under the name "Two-Line +Double Pica Macilent". Some specimens from unknown English +printers dating back to circa 1650 also show the same +typeface, but no proper references were given. The last +recorded reference to Guyot's type can be found in "Type +Specimen Fascimiles, vol. 1, No. 1 - 15," by John Dreyfus +et al, printed in London circa 1963. + +Some reduced resolution scans of Guyot's roman are also +included in this directory. + +In digitizing this typeface, attention was mainly given to +duplicate the technical imperfections of 16th century +printing, which have been lost with today's technologies. +In order to accomplish this, some digital type design +conventions have been avoided - things like the uniformity +of the serifs, overall stroke precision, vertical proportion +exactitude... While trying to maintain as much fidelity as +possible to Guyot's original drawings, there was also +emphasis in testing to ensure good print functionality at +various text and display sizes. This digitization should +work nicely when used anywhere from 10 to 30 pt. Some +design oddities, appealing or otherwise, may appear in +30+ pt usage. + + + +Legal stuff +----------- +The DayRoman and DayRoman-Expert fonts are provided for free +by Apostrophiclab <http://www.apostrophiclab.com>.
