PostScript language font from The Font Company meet the latest specifications for PostScript Type 1 formats with advanced hinting. Your font package includes the diskette(s) that holds your font data and font utilities. You must have System/Finder set 6.02 (or later) and Font/DA Mover 3.8 (for System 6 users) to successfully install your new fonts. A font utilities such as Suitcase or MasterJuggler can also be used. A copy of Font/DA Mover 4.1 is in your utilities folder on your font disc. If you need a newer System/Finder, obtain it from your Apple dealer.
PostScript fonts consist of two parts; a screen font (also known as a bitmap font) and a printer font (also known as an outline font) although the screen and printer fonts must be installed separately they are related. When you select a certain font size on screen the Macintosh looks to see if that size is installed in the System. If it is, the screen font is drawn on the screen. The Macintosh is then directed to the associated printer font when you print that character. If you have Adobe Type Manager (ATM) installed and you do not have an install bitmap for a specific size, the bitmap font is generated automatically by ATM from the same font that is used for printing. The installation procedure for PostScript Type 1 fonts is different for computers running under any version of System 6.0 and those running under System 7. Both installation procedures are included depending on which system software you are using.
We have also included Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) file with your PostScript font. This is a text file that contains character metric and kerning information and is used by some applications to determine character spacing. Most applications can retrieve metrics and kerning information from the screen font suitcase and do not need this file.
Gill\'s history of adulteries, incest, and experimental connection with his dog could well be reasons to NOT PURCHASE this beautiful font:
From Reddit: \"Did you know...Gill was a disgusting human being? He raped his children and was into beastiality. (And more.)Obama’s original logo was set in Gill Sans but luckily someone caught it before it was finalized and the campaign changed it.Edit: but what a great typeface. We used to have ethics discussions about usage of his typefaces in my classes. When is it appropriate to use? Can you separate the art from the artist?\"
Arthur Eric Rowton Gill, ARA RDI (22 February 1882 – 17 November 1940) was an English sculptor, letter cutter, typeface designer, and printmaker. Although the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Gill as ″the greatest artist-craftsman of the twentieth century: a letter-cutter and type designer of genius″, he remains a figure of considerable controversy following revelations of his sexual abuse of two of his daughters.
Gill was born in Brighton and grew up in Chichester, where he attended the local college before moving to London. There he became an apprentice with a firm of ecclesiastical architects and took evening classes in stone masonry and calligraphy. Gill abandoned his architectural training and set up a business cutting memorial inscriptions for buildings and headstones. He also began designing chapter headings and title pages for books.
As a young man, Gill was a member of the Fabian Society, but later resigned. Initially identifying with the Arts and Crafts Movement by 1907 he was lecturing and campaigning against the movement\'s perceived failings. He became a Roman Catholic in 1913 and remained so for the rest of his life. Gill established a succession of craft communities, each with a chapel at its centre and with an emphasis on manual labour as opposed to more modern industrial methods. The first of these communities was at Ditchling in Sussex where Gill established the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic for Catholic craftsmen. Many members of the Guild, including Gill, were also members of the Third Order of St. Dominic, a lay division of the Dominican Order. At Ditchling Gill, and his assistants, created several notable war memorials including those at Chirk in north Wales and at Trumpington near Cambridge along with numerous works on religious subjects.
In 1924, the Gill family left Ditchling and moved to an isolated, disused monastery at Capel-y-ffin in the Black Mountains of Wales. The isolation of Capel-y-ffin suited Gill\'s wish to distance himself from what he regarded as an increasingly secular and industrialised society and his time there proved to be among the most productive of his artistic career. At Capel, Gill made the sculptures The Sleeping Christ (1925), Deposition (1925) and Mankind (1927). He created engravings for a series of books published by the Golden Cockerel Press, considered among the finest of their kind, and it was at Capel that he designed the typefaces Perpetua, Gill Sans and Solus. After four years at Capel, Gill and his family moved into a quadrangle of properties at Speen in Buckinghamshire. From there, in the last decade of his life Gill became an architectural sculptor of some fame, creating large, high profile, works for central London buildings including both the headquarters of the BBC and the forerunner of London Underground. His mammoth frieze, The Creation of Man, was the British Governments\' gift to new League of Nations building in Geneva. Despite failing health Gill was active as a sculptor until the last weeks of his life, leaving several works to be completed by his assistants after his death.
Gill was a prolific writer on religious and social matters, with some 300 printed works including books and pamphlets to his name. He frequently courted controversy with his opposition to industrialization, modern commerce and the use of machinery in both the home and workplace. In the years preceding World War II, he embraced pacifism and left-wing causes.
Gill\'s religious beliefs did not limit his sexual activity, which included several extramarital affairs. His religious views and subject matter contrast with his deviant sexual behavior, including, as described in his personal diaries, his sexual abuse of his daughters, an incestuous relationship with at least one of his sisters and sexual experiments with his dog. Since these revelations became public in 1989, there have been a number of calls for works by Gill to be removed from public buildings and art are expected to do their own research in regard to the compatibility and hardware/software requirements for any item they are considering purchasing, as well as any necessary configurations needed for correct operation and system functionality.

Enthusiasts might have a drive handy, however, even they are found at a loss when faced with technology that is not even supported by modern computers.
Floppy disks have been out of use since the mid 2000s, almost entirely. Prone to losing data and mechanical failure, not to mention an overall lack of storage capacity, they were replaced by hard drives, thumb or flash drives, and solid-state drives as the go-to solution for any kind of external storage.
Yet, passion for old technology drives people and some want to read and use floppy disk drives. Here is how you can do that today.
Today, floppy disks will not work with most modern computers, simply because the readers that existed years ago are no longer supported by modern operating systems. By that, the drivers are removed and most modern systems do not support old floppy readers.
Floppies on MacsUsers who run Macs up to 10.14 Mojave, are in luck. The drivers for 3.5” floppy drives are present. This means support for internal drives and no additional hassle. Newer macOSs are problematic as they have no support for any type of floppy disk.
