These fonts are NOT crippled. They contain all the regular alphanumeric characters. Most contain an assortment of special characters. Fonts contain “hinting”; usually over one hundred kerning pairs are defined. AFM files are included. Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Blackforest, and Inkabod are type 1 PostScript fonts and may also be used with ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey , a type 3 font, may only be used on PostScript printers. It has an 80% grey fill with a black border.
Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in small or large sizes. I’d recommend using Oswald Grey at 24 points or larger.
BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any curves. With one or two exceptions all angles are multiples of 45 degrees. BlackForest has an old world German feel. It seems to look best about 24 points. InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font Nordic. On the LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and above. On the ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger.
CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font. It contains only the basic 90+ characters.
The bitmap screenfonts are just your basic Fontographer-generated characters with minimal touchup. With ATM on the market I’d rather spend my time polishing up the PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
