- Notes on Printers Devil™ fonts:
- Printers Devil fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey,
- BlackForest, InkaBod, and CartWright
- 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.
- Printers Devil™ fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware. Try
- them out for a month. If you decide to keep any of these fonts you are
- required to send a $10 per font registration fee to:
- Printers Devil
- PoBox 1828
- Easton Md 21601
- Please indicate what font(s) you are registering. Maryland residents should
- include 5% sales tax.
-
- These products may be distributed freely as long as the following
- conditions are met: The files may not be modified and this notice must be
- included with each font or group of Printer Devil™ fonts; Fonts may be
- included on collections of Public Domain and Shareware disks providing that
- no more than $10 is charged for the disk.
-
- The Bottom Line: We will continue to release laser fonts in a non-crippled
- format as long as there is a fair response to the registration fee.
