BUY A BUNCH OF QUALITY FONTS AT CHEAP PRICES!
If you use fonts and enjoy variety on your computer display or your
printer output then read this offer! It's your chance to get another
14 high-quality fonts for next to nothing (Less than a buck a font).
WHAT THESE FONTS WILL WORK WITH...
If you have Windows 3 and Adobe Type Manager or Windows 3.1 (with
or without ATM), you can use these fonts in virtually any of your
Windows applications that permit font selection. The fonts will display
on-screen and can be downloaded to your printer. Each postscript
font set includes the required xxx.PFB file and xxx.PFM file. Each
TrueType font set includes the xxx.TTF file. Use with Aldus PageMaker,
Microsoft Excel, VisualBasic, presentation software, or whatever.
If you use Corel Draw!, both postscript and TrueType versions include
xxx.WFN file to add each font to your copy of the premier PC design
program. Of course, Corel extends your flexibility/capability with
each font by giving you a nearly infinite variety of bolding, italicising,
outlining, stretching, and mutilating options.
The font set also includes an xxx.AFM file in case you need it. Note
that the files include no special kerning information. Manual kerning,
if necessary, can be done when the fonts are used in software such
as PageMaker. In Corel Draw!, there's very little need for kerning
pairs information since you're often making those kinds of decisions
as you design.
SUPPORT...
Adding new fonts generally presents no bug or compatibility problems
that haven't already been solved with the first font installed. At
less than $1 a font, you probably don't expect an 800 number or 24-hour
hotline. You can expect me to respond to your messages posted on
CompuServe (72327,1702) or America OnLine (ThomasH53). Or if you
send a stamped self-addressed envelope, I'll do my best to solve
your problem.
WHERE THESE FONTS CAME FROM...
These fonts were all created in Corel Draw!, probably my favorite
piece of software. I had always wanted an Egyptian Bold Condensed
font for the advertising work I do in PageMaker and Corel. I finally
sat down one weekend and created the font in Corel, and spent a lot
of time working the bugs out of the font-generating system. Then
I made BeesWax after seeing a similar font in a typesetting magazine.
The first ad agency I worked for was called Arocom and used the font
called "Stop" in their logotype. I decided to create a similar font
for the computer (hence the name "Comaro"). Then it just kind of
snowballed into another twelve (and counting) additional fonts.
WHY SO CHEAP?
I wanted, or needed, these fonts myself. But others may as well benefit
too. I've always been on the buying end of software before, so I
know how it feels. Now I'm selling ... so rather than ask $10 or
even $5 for a font that's already created, I'm asking less than a
dollar! I'm not gonna get rich, but maybe I'll get compensated for
the weeks put in creating the fonts. It's probably cheaper than the
cost of downloading from CompuServe!
FONT DESCRIPTIONS...
Descriptions indicate whether fonts contain upper case (UC), lower
case (LC) or both (UC & LC). All fonts include numerals and basic
punctuation. Some include punctuation beyond the basic set. All include
currency characters for dollars and British Pounds. Most include
the cents character also.
BEESWAX (UC)
A fat, fun face similar to a font called "Bees Knees" which appeared
in "u&lc" magazine.
BROADBAY (UC)
Similar to a font called "Binner." On first look this font appears
much like Broadway (though the similar name is just coincidence).
It's more elegant than its well-known cousin, but also stronger;
it could be used where Broadway might not be hefty enough.
BULGE (UC & LC)
Serif or non-serif? The characters of this font appear created with
painter's horse-hair brush strokes, with one or two strokes per letter.
Similar to a press-type font called "Croissant." Amazingly, considering
the design of the font, it works for text set as small as 11-point.
CAIRO (UC & LC)
Bold serif condensed font, similar to "Egyptian Bold Condensed."
Excellent for headlines; text is legible, but gets too "solid" below
about 18-point.
COLISEUM (UC & LC)
A bold, non-serif font similar to a press-type font called "Koloss."
Works best as a display face at 24-point or better, but could be
used as small as 15-point.
COMARO (UC)
A bold, stark font with abbreviated characteristics. Similar to a
font called "Stop," it can be used for headlines, but would be more
appropriate for logo and other design purposes. Looks very StarTrek-y
if you try to use it for text.
DEBORAH (UC & LC)
A bold, non-serif font similar to "Compacta Black." Use for headlines
or logo design; text setting might be too strong.
GAEL (UC)
Calligraphic font similar to "American Uncial." The all-upper case
font looks like lower case.
GRAMMAR (UC)
This font is similar to "Microgramma Bold Extended." A very wide
font, it's legible as small as about 14-point.
INSCRUTA (UC)
A very blocky, minimalist font. The only commercial font that's at
all similar might be one called "Baby Teeth."
JOELOUIS (UC & LC)
A non-serif font made with consistent-width stroking. Could be used
for text set as small as 14-point. Similar to a font called "Dempsey."
MARBOLD (UC)
A bold, geometric font. Works best as a display face at 24-point
or better, but could be used as small as 15-point. If the file you're
reading now was attached to a font called "Marbolo"--then Marbold
is the same font. (The file size has been compacted back to "normal"
by removing the sample characters from other fonts used in the Windows
Write promotional letter.)
MOTTEK (UC & LC)
A bold, stark font with similarities to the above Comaro, but more
readible. Also very similar to a commercial font called "Motter Tektura."
RHINOFON (UC)
A semi-serif bold font similar to a commercial font called "Elefont."
TALLDECO (UC)
A very art-deco-ish headline font, similar to a font that appeared
recently in "u&lc" magazine called "Anna." Very tall and condensed,
the slender characters include a nearly full set of alternate upper
case (using the lower case keys).
TELEPHONE DOWNLOADERS...
The BeesWax, Cairo, Comaro and Coliseum fonts were posted last year
on CompuServe and America OnLine. If you've downloaded any of those,
here's your chance to get the ones you've missed with no on-line
charges. In fact, you can order these fonts cheaper than your on-line
charges to download them all "free." BeesWax, Cairo and Comaro have
been updated to add the British Pound character, some other characters,
and some character revisions or clean-ups.
