Registering ViewFont:
I’ve worked very hard on this utility and would like to continue to update ViewFont as well as release other useful and fun utilities and games, but the only way I can do this is if you send in the requested fee. Please, if you use this, send in the small fee requested along with the registration form (it can be filled out and printed from within the “Registration (open me!)” application, select the option “How to Register…” button in the Help dialog to learn more about registering). VISA and MasterCard payments are now accepted via FAX, email and standard mail. Do your part to keep the idea of shareware (and me) going! Thank you.
I have tested ViewFont to the best of my ability, but cannot possibly test it with every application, INIT setup, etc. If you find any problems, please let me know about it. Also, if you have any suggestions of other features you’d like to see, let me know. You can contact me at the address or on-line service below:
Multiple Copy discounts and Site Licenses are available. Multiple copy discounts are calculated automatically when you use the “Registration (open me!)” application (when purchasing more than 9 copies).
If you'd like me to send the latest version of ViewFont along with all my other shareware, send $5 or send a self addressed stamped return envelope and a formatted disk and I'll send you the latest of all my shareware.
Shareware fee: $5 per copy
