1 1 BACKGROUND 1.1 DTI Lettering PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A FREE FONT. IT CANNOT BE SOLD. This is is an update to the 2003 DT&I I started but never finished. Things here could be very wrong or slightly off so remember this is a living item, not cast in stone. Feedback is welcome. 1.2 Why DTI? This is the result of a request at Trainsim.com. 2 USAGE 2.1 Installation The file is distributed as part of a ZIP file that includes this document as well as the itself and other related documentation. The files need to be UNZIPPED from the distribution file into a temporary work area, like C:\TEMP. (I ll assume that you used c:\temp from here on ) Now you can install the from the windows CONTROL PANEL. Your system may be different, but in many cases you would select START Settings Control Panel FONTS FILE [pull down] INSTALL NEW FONT From here you would select your new file C:\temp\DTI.ttf That s it, the is installed. As with all other TTF s on your system, the DTI.ttf file enclosed within the ZIP file belongs in the FONTS folder of your windows operating system. This is the only way this file would be useful.

8 Modern DT&I Logo Select the BLACK color and use the "<" key at ~ 200 Font Pitch and place the glyph. Without changing pitch, change the color to white an then select ">" key and carefully locate it 'within' the outline created by the letter ">". If a lettering "infill" is required, select the color (DT&I Orange) and select the "=" and use that to fill the lettering How to build the Compass This can only be done with a paint tool like Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, etc. The process varies since there are multiple examples of how the compass logo is used. 1. Create the outline selecting black or white and using the "L" key. 2. If there is a background fill, use the "N" key and carefully align it with the outline placed in step Select BLACK WHITE and then place the lettering with the K or M key. 4. Finalize the Compass logo by selecting the highlight (if needed) by using the "H" key. 3.2 Permission This is a copyrighted free. It is not public domain. Page 8 of 9
