It is the font author's wish that the font only be available to downloaders. User groups may post the font on their bulletin boards, but may not distribute the font on their nominal charge shareware disks.
Windows TrueType users: the font contains complex characters that retain the "rough" quality of the original source. For this reason, some characters may not display or print correctly, especially at larger sizes. If this is so, kindly edit your WIN.INI file in your WINDOWS subdirectory (with any word processor) and, below the TrueType heading, insert the following line:outlinethreshold = 70This may help, and it may not. Note that inserting this line will affect the output of every font in your system, and possibly not to your liking.
