The fee for this typeface is $15 as is, check or money
order(preferred).
Or send $20 and a disk and a list of the sizes of the
bitmaps you would like to have and I will try to oblige
(within reason...like, don't ask for 127 point,etc...).
Also, I can include (and probably will anyway) varying
spaces to help you set your own type. I like very close
spacing, but if you like to spread out your type, then this
will be available from within the font itself. This
capability will be for those people who don't have all the
fancy new software that will do manual kerning, etc.
(available only to registered owners). [proposed spacing --
units based on selected point size -- 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,
1/16, 1/32, 1/64 and maybe smaller]
Hello Font Lover,
Previously, I had become very discouraged by distributing
my work on CompuServe. A couple of bad experiences made it
difficult for me to continue. However, recently I have
received some recognition (Thank you Richard Eckhardt), and
it has made me rethink my position.
The economy is bad in Louisiana and I am not doing well.
You may have noticed the address change. I cannot afford
the time on CompuServe except for uploading. Also, my
troubles are your gain for neither can I afford to do any
other kind of marketing for my work other than ShareWare
(they would cost at least twice as much or more). And just
having me "sit on these faces" (pun intended) is not doing
any good for myself or anyone else. My first uploads to
CompuServe were rather primitive attempts. I think now you
will find that I am capable of good -- excellent quality
alternatives to the "higher priced spreads".
I will assume you know what to do with this typeface. (use
Font/DA Mover 3.2 or higher, don't let Font/DA Mover change
the font id, etc...)
.........if you don't know how to work these,
call!!! (not collect)
.........if you can't call, write (like I said, I
can't afford CIS)
There is only one size bitmap with this typeface (I'm
trying to keep my long distance and your download charges
to a minimum). And there is a good chance that it is not
very clean (some of them are however, and even print fairly
well on ImageWriter -- besides, LaserWriter doesn't care
what the bitmaps look like -- you can use geneva first,
then switch to this face before printing). It will
however, automatically download to any PostScript Device
i.e. LaserWriter, Linotronic, or any of the new PostScript
printers that are accessed by AppleTalk. (Versions of this
typeface can be prepared for manual downloading as a text
only file for non-Macintosh computers if the need should
arise.)
If you should happen to investigate any of the other
typefaces I've uploaded you will probably discover that
this is a form letter tacked on to every one of them. You
can skip reading the others, however, the ShareWare fee
remains.
PLEASE PAY ME...
Thank you.
P.S. If you are curious as to what happened to
Calligraphic, I had to shelve it. It doesn't work with the
newer LaserWriter software. The new Fontographer software
was supposed to fix the problems. The recompiled
Calligraphic worked with the new LW software but the
decorative letters don't print properly (they turn out with
black letters on the background, and they are supposed to
be white -- I haven't been able to fix it -- maybe with the
next release of Fontographer). Furthermore, it would only
work if ZapfChancery was available, which leaves out
regular LW users.
