A Type 1 laser printer, upper and lower case font, MarkerFeltWide makes typed copy look like itÕs been spontaneously hand lettered. MarkerFeltWide gives messages urging immediacy a casual, personal touch by looking like it was made with a wide, felt-tip marker. Similar to MarkerFeltThin, but offering wider stroked letters.
Use for eye-catching notices, headlines and ad display to convey spontaneous expression for messages of: urgency, immediacy or:
ÒTake notice!Ó
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. Cartoonists tell me MarkerFeltThin is excellent at smaller sizes (I recommend no lower than 12 pts.) The same with MarkerFeltWide Ñ And itÕs IDEAL at 24 and up for ad copy, posters, displays etc.
Screen fonts: 24, 36, 48, 60. Works well with AdobeTypeManager. If you use ATM you can remove larger screen font sizes via the DA Mover to save space and memory. To install, move printer file into the system folder, and install screen font via SuitCase or DA Mover etc. If your software does not use AFM files, that file may be discarded. Best at larger sizes.
Normal keyboard strokes will produce numbers, the hyphen and = sign, and these shifted symbols above numbers: ! $ % & * ( ) +. I used the < and > keystrokes to produce superscripted numbers of 00 and 99 to give better visual effect when wanting to show prices of like $4.99 $5.00.
HereÕs a template to try at various sizes when the font is installed:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234567890 - = ! $ % . , ; :
& * ( ) + Ò Ó / Ô Õ ? $3< $5>
Punctuation uses normal keyboard strokes for: : ; , . / and ?. Double quotes before and after are handled by the Mac's seldom used and often undiscovered built in keystrokes for making curly quotes instead of typewriter looking 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.
Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the shareware fee of $11.

Note: Registered users, are entitled to free updates should I decided to add more characters or symbols to the font OR if any reported glitches should surface. For instance, I updated SnyderSpeed v.1 (all caps) to upper and lower case with added characters and new kerning (SnyderSpeed 2) just two months after first releasing it. Why? Because enough registered users asked for lower case. All registered users then benefitted by receiving a free update by U.S. mail BEFORE I released v.2 to modem, disk of the month or catalog services. Another registered user wrote saying he loved MFThin but could not get two special characters to print on his QuickDraw type jet printer even with ATM installed (Postscript printers ARE recommended in the file description before the download). In any event, with no other reported problems on those characters, I remade those two characters to work with his printer and mailed him a disk. He wrote back Òdelighted with the service.Ó

History: Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 v.1 upper case only), the encouragement of shareware fees and/or input from users, allowed me to update SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus create OregonWet (which made AOLÕs top November 91 download's list), OregonDry, MarkerFeltThin 2/92, and now MarkerFeltWide (4/92)
