MarkerFinePoint v.1 2/93 and for the PC with Windows 3.1...4/93
Shareware, $12
Remit To:
Pat Snyder
1797 Ross Inlet Road
Coos Bay, OR 97420
A Mac font converted for use for Pcs with Windows 3.1 in TrueType
format.
Thanks to input and requests by registered users of MarkerFeltThin
and
MarkerFeltWide for a "finer" version of the MarkerFelts......I created
MarkerFinePoint. A Type 1 upper and lower case display font,
MarkerFinePoint makes typed messages look spontaneously hand lettered--
gives copy urging immediacy a casual, personal touch by looking hand
written with an fine-point felt marker.
Use for eye-catching notices, ad display or to convey spontaneous,
impulsive
expression for a "take notice" effect. Instead of reaching for
a trusted
(hopefully capped) felt-tip pen loaded with permanent ink to scrawl
impulsive messages, reach for the keyboard and click away.
To Install: Once in Windows 3.1 launch the Control Panel in the Main
window. Select Fonts utility and click on the Add...Button. Choose
the
drive and/or directory to locate he TrueType font (.TTF file). Your
font
should appear in the Installed Fonts window. Close the dialog box.
You shouldn't have to restart Windows.
I used the < and > keystrokes to produce superscripted numbers of
00 and 99
to give better visual effect when wanting to show prices ending
this way:
$3.99, $4.99 or $5.00 etc. Additional Option-keystroke special
characters:
legal symbols, en and em dashes, ellipses and several diacritical
characters
such as ƒ Ä are included.
Double quotes before and after are handled by used and often undiscovered
built in keystrokes for making curly quotes instead of typewriter
looking
quotes (dumb quotes): Option-[ types a beginning double quote and
Option-Shift-[ types an end double quote. Option-] types a single
beginning
quote and Option-Shift-] types an end single quote. Note: Many
software
programs now have the curly quotes stroke conversion automatically
built
into their program.
Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use it, honor the shareware fee
of $12 and note
if you're using Type 1 or TrueType. I'd also like to know where
you
downloaded/obtained the font: AOL, CompuServe, a MacUsers' Group
or BBS,
Shareware Disk or CD-Service, etc. If you SHARE this font, please
include
all files and documents in one folder. I'm especially pleased with
response
from professional DTP users AND MacUser Groups and BBS members.
I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year book DTP,
and
commercial art to future artists, possibly typographers (alias)
high school
students; and produce serious art for local, regional and national
juried
exhibitions, and I golf. I enjoy receiving samples/copies of work
in which
my fonts are used (an ad, layout, poster, brochure, newsletter
etc.). I show
the works to students -- they enjoy seeing what real people are
really doing in the real world today with computers, DTPublishing
and graphic design,
especially on a Mac.
Comments, suggestions╔ both bricks and bouquets always welcome to
Pat or
Gail at the above address or:

Hint: a software library search entering Rps82 will list all of my

History:
Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 v.1 upper case
only), the encouragement of shareware fees and/or input from users,
allowed me to update SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus
create OregonWet (on AOL's Nov. 91 top download's list), OregonDry,
MarkerFeltThin 2/92, MarkerFeltWide 4/92 (used by Aldus Magazine's
"New
Comics" article, pgs.18-20 July/Aug '92 issue) and StarsAndStripes
7/92;
updates to MarkerFelt Thin v2, MFWide v2 and (SnyderSpeed Brush v3
9/92
and ComicsCarToon 10/92 (featured in Aldus Magazine 3/93), both top
downloads; NeedlePointSew 11/92; MarkerFinePoint 3/93. Fonts are
available both in Type 1 and True Type Formats on AOL and CServe
for
the Mac.
*4/93 fonts converted for PC use with Windows 3.1 in TType format
and
planned for uploading by May1993 via CServe modem, DTP forum; and
in
Oregon via Night OWl BBS (503) 267-4338 which to date has no connect
charge. Thanks ahead of time for supporting shareware!
