	"Legionnaires".
	


INSTALLATION:

	This is a fully scaleable TrueType fonts for use with Microsoft 
	Windows 3.1 (and higher) or IBM OS/2-2.1 (or higher). Please refer to 
	your Operating System manual for instructions to install this TrueType 
	font.

	IBM, Commodore Amiga and Atari computers) please use the fully 
	scaleable Interlac PostScript Type1 font by the same author.
	If you need an Interlac font for Apple Macintosh computers, please
	use the conversion of my font by Joe Sewell (CompuServe ID:74136,360)
	available in the comic books library of the CompuServe Network 
	(GO COMICS).   


HISTORY: 

	"The designated language of the United Planets is Interlac, based on 
	the Terran English with liberal additions from other Terran languages. 
	In its most basic form the symbols of the language correspond perfectly 
	to the twenty-six letters of the English language; the numbering system 
	corresponds to Earth Base-Ten form. As the official U.P. language, 
	Interlac is thought in schools throughout the system and is the common 
	form of communication between most sentient United Planet races."
	(after "Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes #1" - DC Comics 1988)

	I made subtle changes to the original designs for esthetical reasons 
	since this language was never really "intended" by the Legion of 
	Super-Heroes artists to be used as computer font.

	I wanted to include the monitor board symbols of the Legion members but 
	this was not workable because of the complexity of the signs. But as a
	bonus I have added the symbol of "Superboy" (char.#236), "Lightning Lad" 
	(char.#237), "Cosmic Boy" (char.#238) and "Saturn Girl" (char.#239). 
	On PC's these characters can be accessed via the pressing the "ALT" key 
	and the character numbers on the external numerical pad (MS Windows users
	have to type a "0" before the character number). However, in the PostScript 
	Type1 version of this font I was able to add 25 more Legionnaire monitor 
	board symbols.
	Look for various Public Domain Legionnaire symbols in icon-form by
	other authors for a complete list.
	
	This is the second time I created an Interlac font because the first
	version (created in August 1993) had "solid" characters (unlike this
	font which is "hollow", just like in the original comic design). 
	

NOTE:

	The INTERLAC font is expressly released as "Freeware" - you are under no
	obligation to remit any fee for its continued use. If you like it, keep it!
	Enjoy! Share it freely with your friends! I do ask that you distribute this
	INTERLAC font together with this README.TXT textfile. Please contact me if
	you want to make any changes.

	CompuServe mail (ID: 100143,3316), or sending hardcopy mail to the address
	shown above.
	
DISCLAIMER:
	
	I can not guaranty that these files will work with your computer 
	configuration (although the font worked perfectly on all the computers
	I could get my hand on). 
	However, even if you encounter problems, there is actually no possibility
	that these files could harm your hardware or software in any way! 
	If you don't like the font you can delete it by removing the files anytime
	without difficulties.
