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
25 high-quality fonts for next to nothing (... less than a buck a
font).
WHAT WILL THESE FONTS WILL WORK WITH?
If you have Windows 3.0 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 font set includes
the required xxx.PFB file and xxx.PFM file for PostScript or a xxx.TTF
file for TrueType usage. Use these fonts with Aldus PageMaker, Microsoft
Excel, VisualBasic, presentation software, or whatever.
If you use Corel Draw!, each font set includes a xxx.WFN file. This
Corel font file can be used with Corel 2.x. For Corel 3.x you have
the choice of using TrueType, PostScript or the original .WFN format.
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.
Please note that the files include no special kerning information.
All of these fonts were meant to be used for headline or design purposes.
Though a few of these fonts can be satisfactorily used for text,
most will appear best at 18 points and above. 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.
HOW ABOUT 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 DID THESE FONTS COME 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
it just kind of snowballed into 26 (and counting) fonts.
Nearly all of the fonts are unavailable elsewhere in computer-usable
format. Some are unavailable in any form. They will not be available
through any other source. They will not be released into the public
domain. There's only one way to get 'em, and it'll cost you much
less than a dollar a font.
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.
IF THEY'RE THAT CHEAP, ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
There have been over 4,000 downloads of the free fonts and many,
many purchases of my prior offerings of 14, and then 15-font packages.
The font Cairo was included on disk with the recent book "The Font
Problem Solver" by David D. Busch, published by Business One Irwin.
Here's some user comments:
"Thanks a lot for the Comaro font, it looks great in Corel...."
C.J., Sheffield, England
"Love that Coliseo!!"
R.J., Woodbury, CT
"I just got your set of incredibly inexpensive fonts. Please
let me know when you are bringing out more fonts."
C.G., CompuServe message
"I downloaded one of your (fonts) from recently and would very
much like to have the other 13."
V.W., Finland
"My sex life has really improved since I started using your fonts."
T.H., Clearwater, FL (Not!)
WHAT FONTS ARE AVAILABLE?
Copy the file FONTSHOW.EXE to some temporary directory with about
350K available. Run the file. It will self-extract into a CardFile
file. Open up Windows CardFile and take a look at all the fonts you'll
get. By the way, if the bitmap font name is in all upper case, then
the font is upper case only (plus numerals, punctuation, etc.) If
the name is upper and lower case, then the font has both character
sets.
If you're interested in having a custom font made, perhaps of your
own hand printing, write or e-mail me. I've already made some custom
fonts and can do one for you for less than you may have seen advertised.
DON'T I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE FONTS?
Only the BeesWax, Cairo, Comaro, Coliseum and Marbold fonts were
posted over the past 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.
WHAT DO I GET?
All 25 fonts in PostScript, Type 1 format or the new TrueType format.
Either format includes a matching set of Corel .WFN files. You have
the right to use the fonts for anything for which you would use any
other font. Of course you can't re-sell or pass on the fonts themselves.
You may not give copies to friends (let 'em send their own checks!).
You may not load the purchased fonts onto any bulletin board. Please
DO load this downloaded font package on any bulletin board you'd
like to. (Be sure that you upload the complete, original archived
package.)
You'll also get the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping to
save a marriage by allowing me to show my wife the checks as justification
for all the time I put in at my 286. These fonts are distributed
in the hope that they will be useful, but without any warranty including
even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular
purpose. You have a full money-back guarantee if these fonts do not
work as described.
HOW MUCH?
You can have all 25 fonts, in either format, for $15 total, shipping
& handling included. For both PostScript and TrueType formats, send
$20. Disk cost is included with your choice of 5 1/4 or 3 1/2, at
no extra charge. Canadians please send U.S. denomination postal money
order available from your post office.
Upgrades: If you've ordered any fonts from me before (and I KNOW
who you are!), simply send $5 and I'll send you the fonts you're
missing in your proper format.
