The history of Aerolite, from Jan Paul: "The Aerolite fonts are essentially stripped down versions of a complex outline typeface I designed for the first Midnight Oil album in 1978, affectionately known as "The Blue Meanie". Many years later I saw the font "powderworks" and asked Brian Kent if he would be interested in digitizing Aerolite. Brian is a font (!) of knowledge and was of invaluable help by getting Aerolite to where it is today. Special care was taken in keeping the distinct character while as Aerolite Regular also providing
a legible, thouroughly kerned body type which can be used in all sizes for large volume text."For the Pro version the kerning has been tweaked further, and the character set completed and expanded - and the alternate uppercase A (also with accents) is available as OpenType stylistic alternates. It is now ready for your next international science or sci-fi project. 
Aerolite Pro is a professionally reworked font that contains an extended character set for setting text in 65 languages requiring more than the basic A-Z! |

| TrueType: |
Recommended for
"office" or "home" use |
TrueType is the format invented by Apple and Microsoft for their operating systems, so for everyday use this is the format of choice.
Select if you primarily work in Microsoft Office programs like Word, PowerPoint, Excel - or similar. |
|
| OpenType: |
Recommended for
"graphic design" use |
OpenType is the new format made by Adobe and Microsoft - it is based on TrueType technology, but contains Postscript outlines.
Select if you primarily work in graphic design programs like Adobe CSs InDesign, PhotoShop or Illustrator - or Quark7. |
|
| Postscript: |
Not recommended!
(and not supplied ;) |
The original font format, but not very easy to work with when using foreign languages - because it does not support Unicode text encoding.
Use newer programs and OpenType instead. |
