Chess Cases font

TrueType Font: CHESS CASES

The figures of this font belong to the 'Cases' font, included in the
PROBLEMISTE program. This program is for solving chess problems in up to six
moves. Its author is the Frenchman Matthieu Leschemelle, who authorized me
to recodify the figures in order to develop a complete font. The figures are
excellent, as is PROBLEMISTE. You can find them in internet,at this address:

http://perso.easynet.fr/~mleschen/

In addition, from this website you can download dozens of files with
thousands of problems composed by classic and modern problemists.

The drawings was rexported to TTF format in Corel Draw 7.0 and recoded in
Fontographer. I remade the font in the "Colegio La Salle de San Cristobal"
(La Salle School of San Cristobal), located in the pleasant mountains of the
Mayan World in the south of Mexico; in order to expand our collection of
chess fonts. The font is freeware, I hope it is useful for the chess buddies.
If you want to repay us, you can send us some other fonts for creating chess
diagrams (we are collecting them). We will welcome any useful suggestions
and comments; please send them to either of address that appear below.

CASEFONT.TTF CHESS CASES font - Ver. 1.0
CHESCASE.DOC Sample and keymap.

The font is installed in Windows, as in any other TTF font. It will be
helpful to you for making chess diagrams and figurine notation in the word
processors which are run under Windows. The file CHESCASE.DOC which
accompanies this file is made on Word 6.0, and contains a sample of the
creation of diagrams in a word proccesor and a keymap of this font. You will
not see these characters until the 'Chess Cases' font is installed in your
computer. The distribution of the figures on the keyboard is the same as in
the CHESS MARROQUIN font, as follows:


DIAGRAM BORDERS:
SINGLE DOUBLE EXTRA *
Top left corner 1 ! or 033 a - A
Top border 2 " 034
Top right corner 3 # 035 s - S
Left border 4 $ 036
Right border 5 % 037
Bottom left corner 7 / 047 d - D
Bottom border 8 ( 040
Bottom right corner 9 ) 041 f - F

* The EXTRA keys contain round corners. The keys (x), (X), (.), and (:)
contain auxiliary symbols to indicate individual movements of the pieces.

NOTE: Also you find borders with the coordinates of chessboard. For simple
borders, type the ASCII codes from 0192 to 0207, and for double
borders from 0224 to 0239. Don't forget to type [Alt] and the ZERO
which goes with each code to generate these characters.

The figurine notation pieces are in the ASCII codes from 0162 to 0167.

I recommend you to print the .DOC file and see the complete keymap.
