Notes on Printers Devil fonts:
Printers Devil fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey,
BlackForest, InkaBod, and CartWright
These fonts are NOT crippled. They contain all the regular alphanumeric
characters. Most contain an assortment of special characters. Fonts contain
hinting; usually over one hundred kerning pairs are defined. AFM files are
included. Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Blackforest, and Inkabod are type 1
PostScript fonts and may also be used with ATM on non-PostScript printers.
Oswald Grey , a type 3 font, may only be used on PostScript printers. It has
an 80% grey fill with a black border.
Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in small or large sizes. I'd recommend
using Oswald Grey at 24 points or larger.
BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any curves. With one or two
exceptions all angles are multiples of 45 degrees. BlackForest has an old
world German feel. It seems to look best about 24 points. InkaBod is based on
the bitmapped font Nordic. On the LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and
above. On the ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger.
CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font. It contains only
the basic 90+ characters.
The bitmap screenfonts are just your basic Fontographer-generated characters
with minimal touchup. With ATM on the market I'd rather spend my time polishing
up the PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
Printers Devil fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware. Try them out
for a month. If you decide to keep any of these fonts you are required to send
a $10 per font registration fee to:
Printers Devil
PoBox 1828
Easton Md 21601
Please indicate what font(s) you are registering. Maryland residents should
include 5% sales tax.
These products may be distributed freely as long as the following conditions
are met: The files may not be modified and this notice must be included with
each font or group of Printer Devil fonts; Fonts may be included on collections
of Public Domain and Shareware disks providing that no more than $10 is
charged for the disk.
The Bottom Line: We will continue to release laser fonts in a non-crippled
format as long as there is a fair response to the registration fee.
