These are two display typefaces that I quickly built for
poster use. As such, they are not really complete, but they do
have all caps and smalls. Only the basic punctuation characters
are there, however. I just didn't need to say anything like
#~*)<. Sorry, but power fonts like Barnum (circus/party like)
and Advertise (bold and commanding) just shouldn't be used for
body text anyway. Right? Hope you can get some use from these
freeware fonts.

I converted these two fonts for Pagestream. Advertise converted
easily, but Barnum was harder. Many of its characters are quite
thin so it is impossible to show them correctly on the screen.
Also, it was necessary to increase the spacing between letters
so the screen could be read on the screen, which also increased
the spacing of the printer font. Many thanks to Robert C. Weidner
for fixing some blank spaces in the characters and making a few
other repairs on these fonts. R. Walshe (GENIE).
