VUpperWestSide version 1.1 --- a PostScript font.
---------------------------------- The enclosed PostScript Type 1 hinted
font was made possible by the following software: Logitech ScanMan 2.0,
Fontographer 3.1, Adobe Streamline, Canvas 2.1, and two recent issues of
THE NEW YORKER. This font is the font which is used for the logo of the
NEW YORKER magazine and which is also used for headings throughout each
issue. It contains a full set of upper- and lower-case characters,
punctuation, and numbers. And several characters are filled with the
image of the New Yorker's famous FOP, as follows: (The @ character, for
instance, prints this image) I created this font because nobody was
marketing a version of it, anywhere. See your manuals for instructions
on installing UpperWestSide. The bitmaps are in size 12, 18, 24 and 36,
but if you have ATM you need only install the 12-point size. I called
the font UpperWestSide instead of NewYorker because Image Club Graphics
already markets a PostScript font called New Yorker. And they are in
Canada. Since this font is in Type 1 format and hinted, it is compatible
with Adobe Type Manager, and what it is, too. UpperWestSide is Cheapo
ShareWare -- it is NOT free. If you use this font AT ALL and have any
sense of guilt whatsoever, I strongly suggest you make a TAX-DEDUCTIBLE
donation of $6.41 to Columbia University, as follows: Make your check
payable to Columbia University, address the envelope to Cynthia Lemiesz,
Music Department, 703 Dodge Hall, Columbia University, New York, NY
10027, and enclose a 3 x 5 card with the following handwritten text:
"Dear Cynthia: I really like Marie Osmond. Just Kidding. Here's $6.41."
You may enclose a color photo of a black and white object, or vice versa,
if you feel like it. You may give copies to your friends providing all
files associated with UpperWestSide are included, and providing that you
do not charge money, even for "disk duplication" fees. Shareware/Public
Domain disk services may distribute this font providing all material
which describes or promotes whatever disk contains this font contains the
following disclaimer, in 18-point type: UPPERWESTSIDE IS SHAREWARE.
OWNERSHIP OF THIS DISK DOES NOTE CONSTITUTE OWNERSHIP OF THIS FONT. YOU
MUST PAY A SHAREWARE FEE TO KEEP THE FONT OR HAIR WILL GROW ON YOUR
PALMS. Shareware/Public Domain companies must ALSO pay the $6.41 to
Columbia University in order to have my permission to distribute
UpperWestSide. This font is copyrighted 1990 by David Rakowski. Alle
Rechte Vorhalten. It is NOT in the public domain. Find me on GEnie as
RAKMAN and on Compuserve at 73240,3060 (they have such user-friendly IDs,
don't they?). Don't send E-mail. It will go unanswered, probably.
Suggestions? I don't give a #@($*)@#$. Changes in version 1.1: Option
1,2,3,4,5 reproduce the icons for movie ratings in the San Francisco
Examiner and Worcester Telegram, from worst to best. Option-shift
a,s,d,f have monograms for "BW," my wife's initials. Option-shift
z,x,c,v have monograms for "DR," my initials. option-b and option-d have
little pictures of my wife and myself. option-w reproduces a printer
ornament found in a Maurice Sendak book. Neither of us has permission to
use that image, so keep it quiet, ok? More kerning has been added, the
space after upper- and lower-case "I" has been increased, the dash
characters have been moved lower, and open and close single and double
quotes have been added. ---------------------------- For those of you
who have been wondering, I teach music at Columbia University. Making
fonts is a hobby. (a feature, not a bug)
