-
- Shareware, $12

-
- 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.
