GRIFFIN DINGBATS -- TrueType/PC FONT
GriffinDingbats contains about 155 picture characters and a rather ornate
Gothic drop caps font. The picture images range from Art Nouveau printer
ornaments, Renaissance printer ornaments and woodcut printer ornaments to
smiling, walking vegetables; the drop caps letters are based on a Gothic
typeface called Celebration. This is the IBM PC version. A PostScript
Type 1 version is also available.
CAVEAT: this is a very large font. If you have problems with this font, there IS
a version broken up into smaller pieces which should alleviate those problems.
The font characters should be self-explanatory. Repeating characters and
borders will be found everywhere; certain woodcut characters and ornaments have
a deliberately rough quality to them, in order to preserve their original
printed character. Some ornaments in the higher ASCII range will need to be
printed at a size exceeding 72 points, at 300 dpi, in order to have the intended
white-on-black effect.
GriffinDingbats is (c) 1991 by David Rakowski (Hey! That's me!), and also by
its namesake, the Griffin Music Ensemble. All Rights Reserved; alle rechte
vorbehalten; tous droites reservées. It is shareware. I'm sure you'll agree
that it's one of the best picture fonts available as shareware (even better
than DavysDingbats!). If you like the font, use the font, or keep the font,
please please please PLEASE will you consider making a tax-deductible
contribution to the Griffin Music Ensemble of $12 or more? The Griffin Music
Ensemble is a six-year old performing ensemble, a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation, which is dedicated to the performance of music composed by
established and young composers; in six years it has presented over twenty-five
world premieres and at least as many Boston premieres; the group's major source
of funding has been eliminated for the coming season, and we are scrambling for
the funds to put on a minimal season until the recession ends and more funding
can be found. If you give $12, you will be considered a payer of a shareware
fee and a rightful owner; if you give $25 or more, you will be listed on the
group's concert programs and you will receive another disk of fonts from me, as
a premium. If you give $50, I'll send you two disks of fonts; and if you give
$12,000, the result will be unpredictable and incredibly joyous.
Please make your check payable to Griffin Music Ensemble and mail it to Griffin
Music Ensemble, 19 Chestnut Terrace, Newton Centre, MA 01259.
You may make copies of GriffinDingbats for personal use and you may give copies
away, providing no money changes hands and providing all the files in this
archive are included, including the file you are reading. User groups and other
nonprofit organizations may also distribute this font on disks for which they
charge money, with the same conditions. Even commercial organizations that sell
shareware disks may sell disks containing this font, providing the profit is not
excessive and providing the obnoxious Paying for this disk doesn't mean you've
paid for the software on it message appears on the disk label containing this
software and providing the previously mentioned conditions are met.
GriffinDingbats is another incredibly cute product from Insect Bytes, where the
mosquitoes make up for in quantity what they lack in size, and where cockroaches
have never set foot. In a manner of speaking.
