- GRIFFIN DINGBATS -- PostScript Type 1 /PC FONT
-
- GriffinDingbats contains about 155 picture characters and a rather ornate
- Gothic drop caps font. The picture images range from Art Nouveau printer
- ornaments, Renaissance printer ornaments and woodcut printer ornaments to
- smiling, walking vegetables; the drop caps letters are based on a Gothic
- typeface called Celebration. This is the IBM PC version. A TrueType
- version is also available.
-
- NOTE: This version is broken up into smaller pieces which should alleviate
- problems encountered in the huge full version. The font characters should
- be self-explanatory. Repeating characters and borders will be found every
- where; certain woodcut characters and ornaments have a deliberately rough
- quality to them, in order to preserve their original printed character.
-
- Some ornaments in the higher ASCII range will need to be printed at a size
- exceeding 72 points, at 300 dpi, in order to have the intended
- white-on-black effect.

- GriffinDingbats is © 1991 by David Rakowski (Hey! That's me!), and also by
- its namesake, the Griffin Music Ensemble. All Rights Reserved; alle rechte
- vorbehalten; tous droites reservées. It is shareware. I'm sure you'll
- agree that it's one of the best picture fonts available as shareware
- (even better than DavysDingbats!). If you like the font, use the font,
- or keep the font, please please please PLEASE will you consider making a
- tax-deductible contribution to the Griffin Music Ensemble of $12 or more?
- The Griffin Music Ensemble is a six-year old performing ensemble, a
- 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which is dedicated to the performance of
- music composed by established and young composers; in six years it has
- presented over twenty-five world premieres and at least as many Boston
- premieres; the group’s major source of funding has been eliminated for
- the coming season, and we are scrambling for the funds to put on a minimal
- season until the recession ends and more funding can be found. If you give
- $12, you will be considered a payer of a shareware fee and a rightful
- owner; if you give $25 or more, you will be listed on the group's concert
- programs and you will receive another disk of fonts from me, as a premium.
- If you give $50, I’ll send you two disks of fonts; and if you give
- $12,000, the result will be unpredictable and incredibly joyous.
-
- Please make your check payable to Griffin Music Ensemble and mail it to

- You may make copies of GriffinDingbats for personal use and you may give
- copies away, providing no money changes hands and providing all the files
- in this archive are included, including the file you are reading. User
- groups and other nonprofit organizations may also distribute this font
- on disks for which they charge money, with the same conditions. Even
- commercial organizations that sell shareware disks may sell disks
- containing this font, providing the profit is not excessive and providing
- the obnoxious Paying for this disk doesn't mean you've paid for the
- software on it' message appears on the disk label containing this software
- and providing the previously mentioned conditions are met.
- GriffinDingbats is another incredibly cute product from Insect Bytes,
- where the mosquitoes make up for in quantity what they lack in size, and
- where cockroaches have never set foot. In a manner of speaking.
