fontnames for Bitstream Univers
Hi,
I have tried to install the font family Bitstream Univers
(aka Bitstream Zurich) via fontinst 1.801.
In bitstream.map (v2.5, 30 September 1998) I found the
following KB names:
bunc8r ZurichBT-Black 0182a___
bunc8rx ZurichBT-BlackExtended 0262a___
...
bunx8r ZurichBT-ExtraBlack 0970a___
This does, however, not work with fontinst, because fontinst
will not accept both "c" (black) and "x" (extra black). As a
workaround I suggest to rename ExtraBlack to "bunu" (ultra
black), despite its internal name.
Please, note that
bunu8rx ZurichBT-UltraBlackExtended 0263a___
exists already, but there is no "ExtraBlackExtended", so my
proposal will not lead to a name clash. Beside, the stroke
width of ExtraBlack and the above UltraBlackExtended is more
or less the same, so it makes sense to classify both as "u".
Perhaps this applies to Adobe Univers, too.
Greetings
Walter
