- ABOUT THIS FREE FONT ... AND 35HEADS ... AND MORE!
-
- Please read this file. It tells you:
-
- How to install your new font!
- (Not really very difficult.)
- What our rights and obligations are!
- (Not much actually. It is just a font, after all.)
- How to get another 35+ fonts at ridiculously cheap prices!
- (Ah! Here's something of value -- to you AND me.)
-
- HINT
-
- If this line starts running off the end of your computer screen, right about
- now, then you need to look at this in an editor/processor with wordwrap.
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- For TrueType installation, simply open the Windows 3.1 Control Panel, click
- on "Fonts," and follow the normal procedure to add the font. If this is the
- first TrueType font which you have added to your system, you may need to
- check your Windows manual.
-
- For PostScript installation, use the install procedure provided through Adobe
-
- Type Manager (ATM). This is similar to TrueType installation except that you
- use ATMCNTRL.EXE to do the installation. Check your manual for any questions.
-
-
- If you use ATM, you may have to manually edit the entry in your WIN.INI file
- so that your printer will download your new font whenever it's called for. If
-
- you get Courier instead of the new font, then your printer probably isn't
- automatically downloading the font with the file. To fix the problem, add the
-
- font's .PFB file path and name to the WIN.INI softfont entry line as in the
- following example:
-
- Change:
- softfont42=c:\your-pfm-path\fontname.pfm
- To:
-
- softfont42=c:\your-pfm-path\fontname.pfm,C:\YOUR-PFB-PATH\FONTNAME.PFB
-
- The comma and all-caps section is what you'll have to add. (It's not
- case-sensitive.) The first half of the entry should have already been made by
-
- ATM. If your listing looks like this and you still get Courier on your
- printer, then the problem lies elsewhere.
-
-
- YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
-
- This free font is provided as shareware. However, you have already fulfilled
- your obligation by receiving the complete archived file which includes the
- font and the promotional information about other fonts which you may
- purchase. For having downloaded and read these files, you may use the free
- font for as long as you wish.
-
- Copies of the complete archived file, as you received it, including all
- attached files, may be posted on other computer bulletin boards. I hope you
- will do so because it will encourage me to continue creating more fonts,
- including free fonts like this one.
-
- If you pass along the free font file only, without the other files, you, the
- passer, are violating this shareware agreement and helping the passee do the
- same.
-
- You have unlimited rights to use this font in any form your software can use
- it ... except to create another font file. You may not do anything with the
- complete font file itself except install it, make backup copies, and let your
-
- software use it to format and create characters. You may not convert the font
-
- to another format and re-distribute it.
-
- Your installation and use of the free font signifies your acceptance of these
-
- terms.
-
-
- MY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
-
- This font is distributed in the belief that it will be useful, but without
- any express warranty including even the implied warranty of merchantability
- or fitness for a particular purpose.
-

-
- 35HEADS -- QUALITY FONTS, REAL CHEAP!
-
- If you're happy with this font, then read the following offer! It's your
- chance to get more than 35 high-quality fonts for next to nothing (... less
- than a dollar a font).
-
-
- WHAT FONTS ARE AVAILABLE?
-
- There are more than 35 fonts in the complete package. There are fun fonts,
- traditional (but seldom-seen) fonts, very bold fonts, light fonts -- in a
- large range of designs.
-
- Why don't you take a look now? Copy the file SEE35HDS.EXE to some temporary
- directory that has about 400,000 bytes available. Run the file. It will
- self-extract into a Windows CardFile file. Use Windows CardFile to take a
- look at all the fonts you'll get. You'll also find some additional technical
- information and details not included here.
-
- All of these fonts are intended for use in larger sizes. As headline type. As
-
- decorative type. For use in logo and other design work. Hence the name
- "35HEADS."
-
- Some of the fonts are readable in text sizes all the way down to 5-point. But
-
- you probably already have standard text fonts, such as Times or Helvetica,
- which will work better for paragraphs of body copy. All of the fonts are
- kerned and hinted.
-
-
- WHERE DID THESE FONTS COME FROM?
-
- I've been in advertising and design for twenty years and jumped from drafting
-
- table to PC five years ago. I had been wanting an Egyptian Bold Condensed
- font for Windows, but couldn't find any available. So two years ago, I sat
- down one weekend and created the font in Corel Draw. I spent a lot of time
- working the bugs out of the font-generating system. I released that font,
- which I named "Cairo," into the freeware market and became famous. (Well,
- semi-semi-famous.)
-
- With the bugs worked out, I then created another font, and another. Suddenly
- I had 15 fonts and started selling the whole package for ridiculously cheap
- prices. (Well, semi-ridiculous.) Soon, I had gotten up to 25 different fonts.
-
- (It's like peeling wallpaper. You get started and you can't stop.) And the
- ridiculously cheap income kept me in new software, hardware upgrades and an
- occasional dinner out. And this year the income bought me Fontographer for
- the PC. I had sworn that I was done with font-making when I finished the
- first 25. Now here we are talking about 35HEADS.
-
- I have always tried to create fonts that were not available in
- computer-usable format. Occasionally, after I've created a font, I learn that
-
- it is available elsewhere, though certainly not at the low prices you'll pay
- me. Some are not available in any electronic form. My fonts will not be
- available through any other source. The whole package will not be released
- into the public domain. There's only one way to get 'em, and it'll cost you
- less than a dollar a font.
-
-
- WHY SO CHEAP?
-
- I'm often on the buying end of software, just like you. Now I'm selling ...
- so rather than ask $10 or even $5 for each font that's already been created,
- I'm asking less than a dollar! I'm not getting rich, but maybe I'll get
- compensated for the weeks I've put in creating the fonts. I don't have a
- giant investment to recover. I've been in marketing long enough to know that
- the traditional wisdom is to charge whatever the market will bear. Well, I
- don't have to answer to anyone except my own conscience this time. And it
- says to charge a reasonable amount and then be happy that people are finding
- value in my efforts and putting the results to good use. (Sorry if that
- sounds sappy, but it's nice to be honest.)
-
-
- IF THEY'RE THAT CHEAP, ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
-
- Yes.
-
- Take a close look at the free font you've installed. Print a "type showing"
- or something else using it. If you're happy with this one, you'll be happy
- with the others.
-
- Thousands of users are currently using my fonts. They include downloaders of
- free fonts plus purchasers of the complete font packages. These fonts were
- carefully crafted, character by character, in Corel Draw and Fontographer.
- All fonts now include kerning pairs and hinting.
-
- The font named "Cairo" was included on disk with last year's book "The Font
- Problem Solver" by David D. Busch, published by Business One Irwin.
-
- 25FONTS was favorably reviewed in WindowsUser magazine this year receiving 3Ω
-
- stars, even though that font package was un-kerned and un-hinted.
-
- Here's some past user comments:
-
- "I purchased your 25FONTS recently and really enjoy them. They're a
- tremendous value -- high quality and very useable."
- J.B., Ojai, CA
-
- "Love that Coliseum!!"
- R.J., Woodbury, CT
-

-
- "My sex life has really improved since I started using your fonts." (Not!)
- T.H., Clearwater, FL
-
-
- DON'T I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE FONTS?
-
- A few of these fonts have been posted over the past two years on CompuServe
- and America OnLine. If you've downloaded any of those, here's your chance to
- get the ones you've missed with no on-line charges. Additionally, those
- posted fonts, as well as all previous fonts, have now been upgraded with
- additional characters, kerning pairs and hinting. Even if you already have a
- free font or two, you'll want this complete set just for the improvements.
-
-
- WHAT DO I GET?
-
- All 35+ fonts in PostScript, Type 1, format or TrueType format. You have the
- right to use the fonts for anything for which you would use any other
- purchased font. Of course you can't re-sell or pass on copies of the font
- files themselves. You may not give copies to friends. (Let 'em send their own
-
- checks!). You may not load the purchased fonts onto any bulletin board.
-
- YOU HAVE A FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THESE FONTS!
- (And continuing my honesty policy, I should let you know that someone took
- advantage of this guarantee. Once. One person.)
-
-
- HOW MUCH?
-
- 35HEADS costs $17.50 complete -- shipping, handling and disk included, in
- your choice of PostScript or TrueType format. To receive both formats, send
- $22.50.
- Your choice of 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" disk. The disk will be high-density.
- For orders from outside the U.S.A., please send remittance in U.S.
- denomination. (Canadian Post Office postal money order in U.S. dollars;
- International Money Order; etc.)
-
- Upgrades: If you're a registered purchaser of 15FONTS or 25FONTS, send just
- $5.00 and you'll get a complete new set in the same format and on the same
- disk type as your previous order.
