EileenCaps and EileenCaps-Black are two related DropCaps fonts drawn in an
elegant and complex Art Nouveau style. A complete alphabet is available in
each font, although the 'V' and 'U' look a lot alike (but are different).
All the characters are Uncial characters decorated with vines and leaves and
other greenery. The characters of EileenCaps are all surrounded by a black
box and are drawn in white over that box; the characters of EileenCaps-Black
are the same as in EileenCaps with the boxes cut out -- which means the
characters and vinery are black. Only an alphabet of capital letters is in
this font.At 300 dots per inch, don't print at sizes below around 72
points. The detail is very fine and subtle. Since the characters are
extremely complex, they will likely cause slow printing times when used,
and in some cases memory situations will make them unprintable. In such
cases, there is nothing that can be done short of massive memory infusions
in the CPU or printer. I do not know if these characters are too complex to
be printed on a Linotronic.EileenCaps and EileenCapsBlack are copyright
(c) 1992 by David Rakowski, their creator (insert maniacal laugh here). They
are distributed as shareware. You can keep copies for yourself and try them
out, but if you keep them, use them, adore them, or even worship them,
please make a tax-deductible contribution of $7.50 to Columbia University
Music Department. The money goes into a fund that pays for performances of
music composed by Columbia University students. Make your check payable to
Columbia University and send it to Cynthia Lemiesz, Music Department,
703 Dodge Hall, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027. With your check
you may enclose a postcard with a picture that is mostly blue and includes
the phrase "..but that's wallpaper under the bridge..." somewhere in an
otherwise chatty paragraph.You may give EileenCaps and EileenCapsBlack
to your friends on disk, providing you include BOTH fonts, as well as the
file you are now reading. User groups and nonprofit organizations may
include both fonts on disks for which they charge nominally, with the above
stipulations. For-profit organizations and shareware/public domain outlets
are specifically prohibited from including these fonts on any disk for which
they charge money or distribute otherwise.EileenCaps and EileenCapsBlack
are named after the person of and the altruism of Eileen Wharmby. They were
made at Insect Bytes, where for some reason we've found we just can't stop
doing whatever it is we're doing. But I digress.
