About InstantLogo Font 1.2
===============================================================================
     This special font allows you to create logos by simply pressing a 
combination of keys on your keyboard. No drawing required! Works with most 
page layout and drawing programs. Here's how it works:

1. Create a new text block in your page layout or drawing program.

2. Select the "InstantLogo" font from your font menu.

3.	Select an appropriate type size for your logo, such as 72 points, in order
for you to view and edit it easily. You may change the size of your logo after
you are satisfied with your design.

4. Type an uppercase character or numeral (such as the "R" or "5" character)
into your text block. This creates a "panel" that makes up the basic shape of
your logo. There are 36 panels to choose from such as squares, stars, and
lightning bolts.

5. Create a SECOND text block and position it on top of the first one. This is
where you will type in a second character that acts as a white "mask" over your
previously typed in panel. Now you can type a lowercase character such as the
"g" or "s" to complete your logo. The masking patterns are located in the
lowercase characters (26 in all). Make sure to change the color of your second
character to WHITE (unless, for one reason or another, you do not want your
pattern character to mask over your panel character).

5. Finally, save your work as a PICT or EPS file to make it accessible to your
other programs.

	THAT'S IT. You could use the "style" menu in your program to explore other
options. Or use the panels or masking patterns by themselves. There are
literally THOUSANDS of possibilities. To fully take advantage of this font, use
it in either Illustrator, Canvas, or Freehand. These programs have an option to
convert characters to paths. This allows you to type out your logo, convert it
to paths, and fine-tune it even further.


*** Version 1.2 includes a new address for shareware payments
	(otherwise, similar to version 1.1)
