<h1>The Chess Merida Unicode TrueType font</h1>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<h2>Introduction</h2>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<p>Chess Merida Unicode is a TrueType font that was first designed by Armando Hernandez Marroquin in February 5, 1998. This package
contains a new version of that font, with the major difference that the glyphs are now mapped to Unicode to allow portable usage in
HTML. Actually I created this version so that it can be used along with the <a href="http://mip.noekeon.org/HTMLTTChess">HTMLTTChess</a>
script, a javascript I wrote to ease writing of chessboard positions in HTML.</p>
<p>The font is renamed to Chess Merida Unicode in order to avoid confusion with the previous versions since the mapping Unicode is
not compatible with the previous versions.</p>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<h2><a name="ChessMeridaUnicode">Using the Chess Merida Unicode font with HTMLTTChess</a></h2>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<p>It is critical to use the version provided here to view chessboards generated by
<a href="http://mip.noekeon.org/HTMLTTChess">HTMLTTChess</a>. Besides being remapped to Unicode, this version contains
additional glyphs needed for the rendering of color chessboards. For this, either the font must be installed on the client, or
delivered to the font via CSS webfonts.</p>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<h2>History and license information</h2>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<p>Armando Hernandez Marroquin released the font as freeware, so obviously this new version is freeware as well.
I hope you'll find this version useful. This is actually my first step in the vast world of typography, so if you have comments or
suggestion, don't hesitate to contact me. Of course, all credits
related to the beauty of the fonts should go to Armando Hernandez Marroquin. If interested,
you can find other fonts from him <a href="http://www.dafont.com/armando-hernandez-marroquin.d420">here</a>.</p>

<h2><a name="ChessMeridaUnicode">Installing the Chess Merida Unicode TrueType font</a></h2>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<p>The installation procedure is similar to any other fonts. Here are some more detailed instructions depending on your platform:</p>
<table class="table2">
<tr>
<th>Linux</th>
<td><p>On Linux, there are several possibilities. A way to do this, at least on my system (OpenSUSE 10.x), is to simply copy the file
in directory <code>.fonts</code> in your home directory (ie. just type in a console <code>cp chess_merida_unicode.ttf ~/.fonts</code>). Please check that
there is no other version of the font available on the system. Also it is safer to <em>quit and restart</em> your browser after installation.</p>
<p>Font rendering is greatly improved if <em>hinting/anti-aliasing</em> is activated. Please check your Linux distribution
documentation for more information.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Windows</th>
<td><p>To install the font on Windows, you simply have to copy the file <code>chess_merida_unicode.ttf</code> into the "fonts" directory of
Windows main directory (typically <code>C:\Windows\Fonts</code>). In case you have an older version of the font already installed, you must
first delete that version before installing the new one. Also it is safer to <em>quit and restart</em> your browser after installation.</p>
<p>On Windows XP, font rendering is greatly improved if <em>ClearType</em> is enabled on the client machine. Check out
<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearType/tuner/Step1.aspx">Microsoft's online ClearType Tuner</a> for more
information.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Mac OS X</th>
<td><p>You simply need to drag&drop the file in the fonts directory of system directory. Also it is safer to <em>quit and
restart</em> your browser after installation.</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<h2>Keymap</h2>
<!-- =========================================================================================================================== -->
<p>This is the complete keymap for the Chess Merida Unicode font. The coding conventions for the keymap are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mapping to existing Unicode character whenever possible (Chess symbol, full block...)<br/>
<i>Exception for the <code>Full Block</code> character that is not correctly renderered in IE5.x and IE6.x.</i></li>
<li>Mapping to Private Use Area (End User Subarea) otherwise:
<ul>
<li><code>xE000</code>-<code>xE0FF</code> board symbols on light square (for B&W and color rendering).<br />
<i>This section is empty in this version since all symbols are mapped to existing Unicode character.</i></li>
<li><code>xE100</code>-<code>xE1FF</code> board symbols on dark square (for B&W rendering).</li>
<li><code>xE200</code>-<code>xE2FF</code> enveloppe of board symbols (for color rendering).</li>
<li><code>xE300</code>-<code>xE3FF</code> Border drawing (for B&W rendering).</li>
<li><code>xE400</code>-<code>xE4FF</code> Other symbols.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Highlighted glyphs are new in the last version.</p>
