The enclosed font was made possible by the following software: Logitech
ScanMan 2.0, Fontographer 3.5, Adobe Streamline, Canvas 2.1, and
two recent issues of THE NEW YORKER. This font is the font which
is used for the logo of the NEW YORKER magazine and which is also
used for headings throughout each issue. It contains a full set
of upper- and lower-case characters, punctuation, and numbers. And
several characters are filled with the image of the New Yorker's
famous FOP.
I created this font because nobody was marketing a version of it,
anywhere.
I called the font UpperWestSide instead of NewYorker because Image
Club Graphics already markets a PostScript font called New Yorker.
And they are in Canada.
UpperWestSide is Cheapo¬ ShareWare -- it is NOT free. If you use
this font AT ALL and have any sense of guilt whatsoever, I strongly
suggest you make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation of $6.41 to Columbia University,
as follows: Make your check payable to Columbia University, address
the envelope to Cynthia Lemiesz, Music Department, 703 Dodge Hall,
Columbia University, New York, NY 10027, and enclose a 3 x 5 card
with the following handwritten text: "Dear Cynthia: I really like
Marie Osmond. Just Kidding. Here's $6.41." You may enclose a color
photo of a black and white object, or vice versa, if you feel like
it.
You may give copies to your friends providing all files associated
with UpperWestSide are included, and providing that you do not charge
money, even for "disk duplication" fees. Shareware/Public Domain
disk services may distribute this font providing all material which
describes or promotes whatever disk contains this font contains the
following disclaimer, in 18-point type: UPPERWESTSIDE IS SHAREWARE.
OWNERSHIP OF THIS DISK DOES NOTE CONSTITUTE OWNERSHIP OF THIS FONT.
YOU MUST PAY A SHAREWARE FEE TO KEEP THE FONT OR HAIR WILL GROW ON
YOUR PALMS. Shareware/Public Domain companies must ALSO pay the
$6.41 to Columbia University in order to have my permission to distribute
UpperWestSide.

It is NOT in the public domain. Find me on GEnie as RAKMAN and on
Compuserve at 73240,3060 (they have such user-friendly IDs, don't
they?). Don't send E-mail. It will go unanswered, probably. Suggestions?
I don't give a #@($*)@#$.
Changes in version 3.1:
Ascii 186 and 182 have little pictures of my wife and myself.
Ascii 183 reproduces a printer ornament found in a Maurice Sendak
book. Neither of us has permission to use that image, so keep it
quiet, ok?
Various monograms or our initials are on 129, 130, 214, 234-241 and
243-49.
The little man jumping out of his chair is on 162-3, 170, 176, 193.
"The Scream" is on 167. My Musical signature on 169.
Cartoons on 194, 196, 198, 207, 250 and 251.
More kerning has been added, the space after upper- and lower-case
"I" has been increased, the dash characters have been moved lower,
and open and close single and double quotes have been added.

For those of you who have been wondering, I teach music at Columbia
University. Making fonts is a hobby. (a feature, not a bug)
