Abstract

A film font for use in conjunction with photocomposing equipment includes a rectangular piece of film having a pair of apertures at either end spaced to fit over a corresponding number of support pins on a font-carrying drum. The film element includes, at one end, a rigidifying bar adapted to fit snugly against the first paid of pins and, at the other end, a cam action slide adapted to lock against the second set of pins to maintain the font in rigid position.
