 Chicago (typeface) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chicago is a registered trademark ("typeface fonts recorded on computer software"), belonging to Apple since August 1996.
Chicago continued to be distributed as a standard component of the system, and Apple even urged developers to keep designing user interfaces for the Chicago typeface, since the new alternate fonts used the Chicago metrics as a foundation.
The typeface is, of course, named after the United States city of Chicago, Illinois.

 Apple typography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple Computer has been attentive to the typefaces used in its marketing, operating systems and industrial design.
It has developed font technology, and controls several patents important to the implementation of high-quality typeface rendering on computers.
Many of the classic Mac typefaces included with previous versions are not part of Mac OS X. The serif typefaces New York, Palatino, and Times were dropped, as were the sans-serif Charcoal and Chicago, while the sans-serif Monaco, Geneva and Helvetica remained.

 Microsoft Typography - News archive
As with each of his typeface designs, Poppl used his typographical expertise and dedication to beauty to create a "timeless" face - pure, clear and balanced.
Though all are commercially successful, it was Poppl-Pontifex that broadened his reputation as a typeface designer.
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (September 15, 2003) - Today Berthold Types announced that the timeless NERO™ design is for the first time available in digital format.

 Chicago Manual of Style - Q & A - Manuscript Preparation
(A typeface is a collection of all the characters—letters, numbers, etc.—and styles—roman, italic, boldface, etc.—of a given design of type like Courier New or Caslon; such typefaces are, however, often spoken of as fonts.) Lots of people became used to reading such typewritten manuscripts.
Whatever you choose, avoid overly stylized fonts, and, if possible, stick to one typeface.
For most of the twentieth century, typewriters ensured that manuscripts were typically prepared in a fixed-width typeface resembling, for example, Courier New.

 Font Manager Q&As
Apple owns the Chicago font and typeface, so be sure you check into licensing issues before releasing any version, altered or unaltered, with your application.
Name your font something other than Chicago and just select that font by name in the menu or control's draw routine.
In your case, this would be merely selecting your font instead of the system font.

 Business Encyclopedia
Some elements of the software engines used to display typefaces on computers have software patents associated with them.
In digital fonts, the image of each character may be encoded either as a bitmap (in a bitmap font) or by a higher-level description in terms of lines and curves enclosing space (an outline font, also called "vector font").
In typography, a typeface is a co-ordinated set of character designs, which usually comprises an alphabet of letters, a set of numerals and a set of punctuation marks.

 AIGA - Experience design selections detail
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a multidisciplinary class at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) worked in collaboration with AIGA, the Office of the Cook County Clerk and the Chicago Election Board to conduct research and to develop theoretical solutions designed to improve the informational and physical systems involved in the American voting experience.
Under AIGA’s Design for Democracy initiative, prototypes developed by UIC students for polling place signage, document management and storage, and absentee balloting have been implemented in Chicago and suburban Cook County.
Designers of all disciplines come together to learn collaborative methods and develop new design languages for compelling experiences.

 AIGA Chicago : Inform Volume 12, Number 1
O’Neil’s essay looks at one simple question, “what is the value of type?” Depending on your perspective, there are a number of possibilities, but ultimately designers are stuck between the creators of new typefaces and the conglomerates that sell them.
Demonstrating the ideas discussed earlier, Rock writes about the creation of typefaces and where these creations come from.

 Literature Review: The Chicago Manual of Style
The Scala typeface selected for the body copy, while cleaner than the English Times used in previous editions, prints too light for best readability, perhaps due to digitizing the typeface poorly.
For the first time, the University of Chicago Press relied on the help of an advisory board, made up of scholars, authors and professionals from a wide range of publishing and business environments, in addition to its own staff and requests from users.
The manual, last published 10 years ago, has of course been updated to reflect changes in technology, professional practices and style, and its scope addresses those who work on magazines, newsletters, proposals, and electronic publications, as well as scholarly books and journals.

 Apple typography: Information From Answers.com
Apple Computer has been attentive to the typefaces used in its marketing, operating systems and industrial design.
Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) is a set of extensions to TrueType which cover much of the same ground as OpenType, developed independently but concurrently with the Adobe/Microsoft format (circa 1995), and is the successor to the little used QuickDraw GX font technology.
Apple's earliest computers had extremely limited graphics capabilities and could originally only display upper-case ASCII using a set bitmap font.

In addition, the SoTA created the "Zapf Typography Award," in honor of Professor Zapf, which in the future will be given each year to an especially talented up-and-coming typeface designer.
In 1938 he designed his first typeface, "Gilgenart," for Linotype.
Many other typefaces and stations in life followed, accompanied by a revolutionary technological change in the areas of printing and fonts.

Typefaces which simulate those OCR letterforms (sans serif) are: Amelia, Data 70, OCR-A, OCR-B. OCR font or OCR typeface A special typeface style developed for Optical Character Readers (which were hardware devices) and, later, Optical Character Recognition software.
The average optical density of certain glyphs of a typeface design is used as a characterization parameter, particularly useful in matching typefaces.
Special style typefaces were first developed in the 1960's whose letterform shapes were easy to distinguish by the first generation ocr hardware (phototransistors or magnetic read-heads for magnetic ink) and software.

In the end, the way the ID numbers were assigned, the early Apple machines only supported 256 font ID numbers.
Another instance could be as simple as installing a font in a suitcase file, opening an application and finding your font does not show up in the font menu.
Back when Macintosh first was created the designers decided to include a variety of fonts within the computers.

typeface classification A typeface classification system is useful for studying the evolutionary history of letterform and typeface design.
These include the British Standards Classification of Typefaces BS-2961, Chameleon lossy compression scheme, IBM Font Class Parameters, ISO/IEC/9541-1 Annex A: Font Resource Management scheme, and the Panose classification system.These systems are all based on the classification of certain physical traits of a typeface design, and could be implemented in software expressly for comparing typefaces.
Font substitution occurs if a typeface is requested but the all the font data files for that typeface cannot be accessed at the time the data are required for rendering.

 Type Directors Club : TDC2 2003 Call : Full Text
Typeface designs that comprise more than eight closely-related variants within the design parameters are considered superfamilies; this would also include pi and dingbats fonts that are stylistically related to the alphabetic or ideographic typeface designs.
All typeface designs are presumed to be original and to not be derived from pre-existing designs or from existing typeface font software.
Existing typeface designs reissued in new font formats are not eligible.

 Tiresias Typeface
He and his staff have been responsible for the design aspects and converting the typeface to a digital format.
The legibility of the current typeface is clearly less than ideal and, because the choice of typeface is important for many viewers, particularly older people, a decision was made at a fairly late stage to use this opportunity to review the systems in use and adopt something rather more appropriate.
With the introduction of digital television, the design of the typeface for subtitling is not constrained by the technology used in analogue television.

 RoosterTypes - Logos and Symbols (Symbol Fonts)
The cost of producing a custom symbol as a TrueType font is based on the complexity of the symbol.
Additionally as TrueType fonts are handled more efficiently by the operating system your documents will also display and print much faster.
Your required symbols will be supplied as TrueType fonts and from that time onwards, it is used in exactly the same way as a standard typeface.

 Initial Decision: H. J. Meyers & Co., Inc., et al.: Release No. ID-211 / August 9, 2002
He was quite sure (and quite wrong) about several matters, including the description of the penalty bid in the issuer's prospectus, the job titles of Masucci and Setteducati, the percentage of Borealis IPO shares allocated to the Chicago branch office, and the unique typeface on the Chicago branch manager's facsimile machine (Tr.
Carlson accomplished this by not immediately entering all the indications of interest he received into HJM's computer system.
At Masucci's direction, Carlson activated a computer program that cut back on customers' indications of interest for Borealis (Tr.

 Slashdot iPod Dissection and Review
Instead a company called "PIXO" did it for them (see article) However the Chicago font actually makes a funny sort of sense, as the founder of PIXO was one of the original developers of the all-time most-innovative personal computer technologies, the original Apple Macintosh Finder, which used "Chicago" in the menus and such.
It's interesting that Apple released a device that doesn't use an OS they developed (unlike Newton or any computer in decades).
Their UI research determined that Chicago was superior as a screen font in terms of readability and the thicker appearance also made it easier on the eyes; remember this is long before GUI-level antialiasing was available.
