In French, a normographe is the stencil used to
guide the china ink tube pen when drawing technical letters onto a
blueprint. Actually, this was the way blueptints were made once upon a
time, before computer assisted design. Such stencils are still still
sold in toy stores to be used with ball pens, though. This character
has been designed closely matched to the normalised letters used in
Europe.

This typeface has
also been influenced by the work of Paul Renner (1878-1956),
member of the Bauhaus movement, who created among others the
Futura. Such fonts are eagerly promoted by Jan
Tschichold as the "New Typography".
These typefaces are
hinted and kerned, and suited for any kind of printing work.
They have been used by famous European printers to set text,
using typesetting equipment.

At the
present time, there seems to be no standardized way of using WGL4 with
other platforms than Windows. However, tests show that a text entered
in WGL4 under Windows seem to be recognized correctly with a Mac under
OS X using the same fonts. Given the variability of platforms, though,
we do not guarantee such a trans-platform use.
