This is a new font from the Reference Type Library. I created this font to be an alternative to monospaced fonts like Courier® or Monaco. This is strictly shareware ("schoolware") and the fee for this font is ONLY $3!! I know that there are many font packages out there that give you fonts for very cheap, so I'm trying to stay competitive! I also know that fewer than 10% of users of shareware ever pay for their software, so I hope you will be better than that 10%!
SHAREWARE NOTICE
Please try this font for 30 days, and if you like it, pleae pay the shareware fee of $3 and send a check or money order (in U.S. funds please!) to my Toledo address above. If you would like any additional point sizes (above 24 pt.) Please mail me a disk and $5 (extra to cover shipping back to you) and what sizes you would like.
POSSIBLE USES
This is a very simple font based loosely on the popular font "lettergothic." I created this font using Fontographer and scanned the characters in manually (that took forever!), traced the fonts in FreeHand and imported the Bezier curves into Fontographer. Kerming was simple (all the letters are the same!) This is great for printing out those monospaced text files like FAQs and other stuff you might download from the Internet. I've found it to be quite legible down to 7 pts. I only created one point size for the Type 1 version (to save you time!) and it requires Adobe Type Manager® to be properly displayed and printed at larger point sizes. I've also included a TrueType version of the font for those who prefer that format.
HISTORY:
I have now added the complimentary Italic version to this family, and fixed some other small things...Thanks to all who e-mailed suggestions! Now version 1.1. Price is still the same for BOTH. ONLY $3.
LEGAL STUFF

Plea:
Again, I hope you find this font to be useful and worthy of the small fee ($3). I am a struggling college student and would greatly appreciate any help or contribution no matter how small! I'll even take a dollar if you think it's worth it. If you think it's worth more than $3, please by all means send more! Just print out the accompanying REGISTRATION form and send it in! It's easy! Thanks in advance!
If you have any further suggestions on how I might improve this font, please drop me a line via e-mail.
Live long and prosper,
