WHAT'S IN THIS PACKAGE
This Stuffit archive contains the following files:
About TempoFont -- the file you are reading.
TempoFont.bmap, TempoFontItalic.bmap -- Macintosh screen versions of TempoFont
and TempoFontItalic in sizes 12 and 24.
TempoFont.AFM and TempoFontItalic.AFM-- Adobe Font metrics file for TempoFont.
Check to see if your application needs this file.
TempoFon, TempoFonIta -- PostScript fonts TempoFont and TempoFontItalic.
Install the bitmaps normally, copy the Postscript font files to your System
Folder, print normally on your PostScript printer. NOT RECOMMENDED for
ImageWriter output, but may be ok. Both fonts are Type 1 hinted PostScript
fonts, so they will print extremely well at small sizes, and will work
perfectly with Adobe Type Manager.

The font you are reading is TempoFont. It contains a full upper- and lower-case
alphabet in a serif font, as well as a few dozen music-specific symbols;
TempoFontItalic contains an italic version of the same font, with the music
symbols not italicized. If you want to use both regular and Italic versions you
must install both bitmaps and both PostScript fonts.
-------------------------------------------
This font was created with Fontographer Version 3.1, using a large chunk of the
public domain font Tempus, liberally mixed with my own Shareware font SHPFLTNAT
(version 2.2). It is hereby placed into the public domain and may be
distributed, but not sold, in any way, shape or form whatsoever. This font
comes to you from
