- GRIFFIN DINGBATS -- TrueType/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 PostScript
- Type 1 version is also available.
-
- CAVEAT: this is a very large font. If you have problems with this font, there IS
- a version broken up into smaller pieces which should alleviate those problems.
-
- The font characters should be self-explanatory. Repeating characters and
- borders will be found everywhere; 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 (c) 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.

- mosquitoes make up for in quantity what they lack in size, and where cockroaches
- have never set foot. In a manner of speaking.
