CONTENTS:

	Following files are part of this Freeware font:
		ILAC_HTT.TTF
		README.TXT  (this file)
		FILE_ID.DIZ (short text description for BBS systems)

	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 TrueType fonts for use with Microsoft 
	Windows 3.1 (or higher) or Win-OS of IBM OS/2-2.1 (or higher). Please
	refer to your Operating System manual for instructions to install this
	TrueType font. The font name visible in your applications will be 
	"Interlac Hollow". If you already have installed a previous version
	of my Interlac TrueType font you may want to delete it first. However 
	this new version will not disturb previous fonts because of a different
	font and file name. 
	If you need Adobe Type1 PostScript fonts for your computer (as used by 
	IBM, Commodore Amiga, Atari computers and PostScript printers) 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) or in the America Online Font archive.
	A "solid" letters version should also be available there with the file
	name "ILAC_STT.ZIP"   


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.
	
	Like my Type1 Interlac font this TrueType font includes the monitor
	board symbols of some major Legion members. 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 by pressing the
	"ALT" key and the character numbers on the external numerical pad.
	MS-Windows users have to add a "0" before typing the character number.
	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. But maybe next time...
	Look for various Public Domain Legionnaire symbols in icon-form by
	other authors for a complete list of monitor board symbols.
	
	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 as the original comic design).
	This Interlac TrueType font Version 2.1 includes 29 Legion monitor 
	board symbols (unlike V2.0 which had only 4) thanks to Joe Sewell who 
	reconverted it from my ATM font.  
	

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. 

	I welcome feedback at any time - the best way to reach me is by leaving
	me CompuServe e-mail (ID: 100143,3316), or sending hardcopy mail to the 
	address 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 actually is 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.
