This file Adobe7s.pdf (complementing our detailed documentation Adobe7.pdf, see http://www.sanskritweb.net/forgers/adobe7.pdf) is designed for
identifying font forgeries by displaying typesetting specimens of the text fonts of Adobe Font Folio 7. Note that non-text fonts (e.g. "symbol fonts",
"dingbat fonts" etc.) and several special fonts with incomplete alphabets (e.g "expert fonts", "swash fonts") are not contained in this document.
Column "Regular" displays the "regular" version as shown in the Windows font select box. This is usually the regular non-bold font version (e.g.
"AGaramond"), but depending on internal PostScript Type 1 font-naming conventions, also often the bold version is displayed (e.g. "ACaslon Bold").
Note: No effort was made to display all bold (and bold italic) versions, since bold versions are usually never needed for identifying font forgeries.
Column "Italic" usually displays the true italic version of the regular non-bold version or of the bold version or of both (e.g. "ACaslon Bold Italic").
If a typeface does not have a true italic version (e.g. "Aachen"), a slanted version is shown, automatically italicized by the Windows font handler,
usually recognizable by the slanted lowercase "a". In case of doubt regarding the true italic version please consult the documentation Adobe7.pdf.
Printing problems: The creation of the complete PDF file Adobe7s.pdf containing approx. 1550 embedded PostScript Type 1 fonts was a daunting
task even for a modern Gigahertz Windows PC. The complete PDF was split into several partial files Adobe7s1.pdf, Adobe7s2.pdf etc. Unless your
Laser printer has a huge RAM memory, you will experience an overflow error due to the huge RAM memory required for the many fonts, if you print
all pages of a partial PDF file. If this error message occurs, you must split any partial PDF file in partial printing batches of e.g. 5 printing pages each.
