- A Typeface by "Laser Printing Solutions" Date: 4/22/94
-
- The enclosed shareware ALCHEMY font is designed to work with Windows
- 3.1. It contains just under half of the characters that one would
- normally have in a Windows set.
-
- If you are NOT using a font utility to select "font groups," then to
- install the TrueType font, simply launch Windows, open the Control
- Panel, select Fonts, then Add, and choose Alchemy from the correct
- directory. Print out the ALCHEM.WRI file for symbol explanation.
-
- The extended set contains elements and other materials used by
- alchemists such as filter, test tube, bismuth, clay, honey, nitric
- acid, salt, sand, sugar, etc., some in different variants. Because
- there are so many variants for Alchemical symbols, I do plan to produce
- another font with 200 odd symbols.
-
- Although submitted as shareware, it is *not* to be financially
- distributed (or placed on any disk, or BBS for which a charge is made)
- *without* permission of the author. It is yours to use and enjoy for 30
- days, but at the end of that time, if you are still using this font you
- are morally obligated to send in the shareware fee which is $6.00.
- If you want to obtain the extended set or use this font commercially,
- write to:
-
- P.O. Box 5362, Irvine CA 92716-5362, USA
-
- Send $16 U.S. to receive the extended set, or $6.00 just to register.
- Checks should be made payable to: Kenneth Hirst
-
- By registering, I can inform you of updates and new releases. Many less
- expensive fonts are simply scanned images that have not been optimally
- hand tuned, so please do not commercially exploit this font.
-
- As of 4/22/94, I have the following highly specialized fonts available:
-
