Playbill is a Postscript version of one of the many פwestern styleצ
fonts. It has upper and lower case letters and most common
punctuation.
It should work on any genuine Postscript font or with Adobeרs ATM.
If you use it with a Postscript clone of any sort and it works, Iרd
appreciate you letting me know about it. Playbill is free for
non-commercial applications. If you feel compelled to send money you
can, but you are under no obligation to do so. I am more interested
in comments or suggestions.
You may contact me at my Compuserve address of 73627,3612 or at my
mail address:Since I am giving this font away, I cannot guarantee
that I will be able to help you with any problems (but donרt be
afraid to ask). Please do not call me.
If for some reason you have my address but not the font (donרt ask
me how, but this has happened), I will send you a copy only if you
include a disk and a stamped mailed addressed to you. You may
freely give away this font to your friends or upload it to your
favorite bulletin board. I encourage you to do this. Please keep
this Read Me file with it if you do distribute it.
If you are a commercial enterprise selling disks of shareware and
freeware, you may not distribute this font without my permission.
If you sell it, you should send the money to me.
Playbill was generated with Fontographer¬ 3.1. and is offered as
is. I will not accept responsibility if it doesn't work for you or if
you use it in an important report and your boss hates it and fires
you.
Installation Instructions For Novices If you've never installed a
Postscript font before, don't worry, it's pretty easy. You do have
a Postscript printer or ATM, don't you? Ok, then all you have to do
is 2 things.
1. Install one or both of the Playbill screen fonts (the ones in
the suitcase icon named Playbill) into your System file, using
Apple's Font/DA mover.
If this doesn't make any sense to you, then you are either a
beginner or Dan Quayle. In either case you should read the
documentation that came with your Mac, concentrating on the stuff
about installing fonts and the Font/DA mover.2. Put the printer
font named Playb into your system folder.That's it. You're ready
to use Playbill in your favorite word processor, drawing program, or
other program that uses fonts. (If you are using Microsoft Word
(TM), you will have to do addition procedures to get Playbill to
appear in the Font menu; consult your documentation.) Be advised
that your output will look much better that it does on screen; I
didnרt bother doing much editing of the screen font. Even though
there is only one size of screen font, you can print Playbill out at
any size that your software supports. Because of the heaviness of
the Playbill letter forms, it looks pretty bad in sizes below 24
points.If you have Suitcase II¬ or Master Juggler ¬, you probably
aren't really a novice, but just in case - all you have to do is
make sure the screen font and printer fonts are in the same folder
and then open the screen font with Suitcase II or Master Juggler.
If you don't have either of these programs and use a lot of fonts
or DAs then you should have one of them. I have Suitcase II and
recommend it highly, but I'm given to understand that Master Juggler
is just as good - indeed, some people prefer it. However, if you
use Compuserve, you can contact Steve Brecher (the author of
Suitcase II) at any time.
Installation Instructions for Everyone Else Hey, you already know to
install a Postscript font, right? What can I tell you that you
don't already know? Get out of here.
