- The fee for this typeface is $15 as is, check or money
- order(preferred).
-
- Or send $20 and a disk and a list of the sizes of the
- bitmaps you would like to have and I will try to oblige
- (within reason...like, don't ask for 127 point,etc...).
- Also, I can include (and probably will anyway) varying
- spaces to help you set your own type. I like very close
- spacing, but if you like to spread out your type, then this
- will be available from within the font itself. This
- capability will be for those people who don't have all the
- fancy new software that will do manual kerning, etc.
- (available only to registered owners). [proposed spacing --
- units based on selected point size -- 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8,
- 1/16, 1/32, 1/64 and maybe smaller]

- Hello Font Lover,
-
- Previously, I had become very discouraged by distributing
- my work on CompuServe. A couple of bad experiences made it
- difficult for me to continue. However, recently I have
- received some recognition (Thank you Richard Eckhardt), and
- it has made me rethink my position.
-
- The economy is bad in Louisiana and I am not doing well.
- You may have noticed the address change. I cannot afford
- the time on CompuServe except for uploading. Also, my
- troubles are your gain for neither can I afford to do any
- other kind of marketing for my work other than ShareWare
- (they would cost at least twice as much or more). And just
- having me "sit on these faces" (pun intended) is not doing
- any good for myself or anyone else. My first uploads to
- CompuServe were rather primitive attempts. I think now you
- will find that I am capable of good -- excellent quality
- alternatives to the "higher priced spreads".
-
- I will assume you know what to do with this typeface. (use
- Font/DA Mover 3.2 or higher, don't let Font/DA Mover change
- the font id, etc...)
- .........if you don't know how to work these,
- call!!! (not collect)
- .........if you can't call, write (like I said, I
- can't afford CIS)
-
- There is only one size bitmap with this typeface (I'm
- trying to keep my long distance and your download charges
- to a minimum). And there is a good chance that it is not
- very clean (some of them are however, and even print fairly
- well on ImageWriter -- besides, LaserWriter doesn't care
- what the bitmaps look like -- you can use geneva first,
- then switch to this face before printing). It will
- however, automatically download to any PostScript Device
- i.e. LaserWriter, Linotronic, or any of the new PostScript
- printers that are accessed by AppleTalk. (Versions of this
- typeface can be prepared for manual downloading as a text
- only file for non-Macintosh computers if the need should
- arise.)
-
- If you should happen to investigate any of the other
- typefaces I've uploaded you will probably discover that
- this is a form letter tacked on to every one of them. You
- can skip reading the others, however, the ShareWare fee
- remains.
-
-
- PLEASE PAY ME...
- Thank you.
-
- P.S. If you are curious as to what happened to
- Calligraphic, I had to shelve it. It doesn't work with the
- newer LaserWriter software. The new Fontographer software
- was supposed to fix the problems. The recompiled
- Calligraphic worked with the new LW software but the
- decorative letters don't print properly (they turn out with
- black letters on the background, and they are supposed to
- be white -- I haven't been able to fix it -- maybe with the
- next release of Fontographer). Furthermore, it would only
- work if ZapfChancery was available, which leaves out
- regular LW users.
