CONTENTS:

	Following files are part of this Freeware font:
		INTERPSH.AFM
		INTERPSH.PFB
		INTERPSH.PFM
		README.TXT  (this file)
		FILE_ID.DIZ (short description)

	This is a scaleable computer font designed after the characters and 
	language shown  in comics published by DC Comics Inc.: "Legion of 
	Super-Heroes" (LSH) and "Legionnaires".
	


INSTALLATION:

	This is a fully scaleable PostScript Type1 fonts for use with
	the Adobe Type Manger or compatible font manager in DOS/MS Windows, 
	IBM OS/2, Commodore Amiga, Atari Computers and PostScript printers.
	Please refer to your Operating System or font manager manual for 
	instructions how to install this Type1 font.
	It may be possible that not all three font files are necessary for
	using the Interlac font. Your font manager should be able to select
	the needed files.
	If you need TrueType fonts for your computer (as they come with 
	MS Windows 3.1, or OS/2 2.1) please use the fully scaleable Interlac
	TrueType 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).   


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" - 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. This font is not
	perfect in any way but it was the best I could manage in a short
	time-frame.
	
	Unlike in my TrueType Interlac font (which contains 4 monitor board sybols
	only beside the normal alphabet) I was able to include the monitor board 
	symbols of some Legion members in this Type1 font. Following Legionnaires 
	are saved in this font (ASCII character number in brackets):

		Blok (char.#220)                Bouncing Boy (char.#211)        
		Brainiac 5 (char.#222)          Chameleon Boy (char.#223)
		Colossal Boy (char.#224)        Dawnstar (char.#225)
		Dream Girl (char.#226)          Duo Damsel (char.#227)
		Element Lad (char.#228)         Ferro Lad (char.#229)
		Invisible Kid (char.#230)       Karate Kid (char.#231)
		Light Lass (char.#232)          Mon-El (char.#233) 
		Phantom Girl (char.234)         Quislet (char.#235)
		Superboy (char.#236)            Lightning Lad (char.#237)
		Cosmic Boy (char.#238)          Saturn Girl (char.#239)
		Sensor Girl (char.#240)         Shadow Lass (char.241)
		Shrinking Violet (char.#242)    Star Boy (char.#243)
		Tellus (char.#244)              Matter-Eater Lad (char.#245)
		Timber Wolf (char.#246)         White Witch (char.#247)
		Wildfire (char.#248)
					
	On PC's these symbol characters can be accessed via the pressing the
	"ALT" key and the character numbers on the external numerical pad.
	Obviously the monitor board symbols are not very up-to-date but since
	these are only bonus characters I did not want to spend time updating
	them.
	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 to this font. 

	I welcome feedback at any time - the best way to reach me is by leaving
	me 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.
