- 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 alter-
- natives 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.
