-
- Shareware, $10

- A Type 1 MacIntosh Postscript font (converted to PC TrueType for use
- with Windows 3.1); an upper and lower case font, MarkerFeltThin makes
- typed messages look as if they'd been spontaneously hand printed.
- MarkerFeltThin gives messages urging immediacy a casual, personal touch
- by looking as if the copy was handwritten with a fine-point felt-tip
- marker.
-
- Use for eye-catching notices, ad display or to convey spontaneous,
- impulsive expression. Use it for copy needing to convey messages of:
- urgency, immediacy or "take notice." Instead of reaching for a trusted
- (hopefully capped) felt-tip pen loaded with permanent ink to scrawl
- impulsive messages, you now can reach for the keyboard and click away.
-
- To Install: Once in Windows 3.1 launch the Control Panel in the Main
- window. Select Fonts utility and click on the Add...Button. Choose the
- drive and/or directory to locate he TrueType font (.TTF file). The font
- should appear in the Installed Fonts window. Close the dialog box.
- You shouldn't have to restart Windows.
-
- Normal keyboard strokes will produce numbers, the hyphen and = sign,
- and these shifted symbols above numbers: ! $ * % & ( ) +. I used the <
- and > keystrokes to produce superscripted numbers of 00 and 99 to give
- better visual effect when wanting to show prices ending this way:
- $3.99, $4.99 or $5.00 etc.
-
- Input from registered users caused me to create Version 2 which updates
- the font with additional characters: legal symbols, Ellipses, em and en
- dashes several diacritical characters and more.
- Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the shareware fee
- of $10. If you SHARE this font, please include all files and documents
- in one folder. Please indicate format (TT) etc., version number and where
- you obtained/downloaded the file.
-
- I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year
- book DTP, and commercial art to future artists, possibly typographers
- (alias) high school students; and produce serious art for local,
- regional and national juried exhibitions. I also enjoy seeing copies, or
- samples of work created with my fonts. I show them to students so
- they can see what real people are doing in the DTP world today.

- History:
- Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 v.1 upper case
- only), the encouragement of shareware fees and/or input from users,
- allowed me to update SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus
- create OregonWet (on AOL's Nov. 91 top download's list), OregonDry,
- MarkerFeltThin 2/92, MarkerFeltWide 4/92 (used by Aldus Magazine's "New
- Comics" article, pgs.18-20 July/Aug '92 issue) and StarsAndStripes 7/92;
- updates to MarkerFelt Thin v2, MFWide v2 and (SnyderSpeed Brush v3 9/92
- and ComicsCarToon 10/92 (featured in Aldus Magazine 3/93), both top
- downloads; NeedlePointSew 11/92; MarkerFinePoint 3/93. Fonts are
