- MarkerFeltWide v.2 TrueType Font for the PC 4/93
-
- Shareware, $11
-
- Remit To:
- Pat Snyder
- 1797 Ross Inlet Road
- Coos Bay, OR 97420
-
- A Type 1 MacIntosh Postscript font (converted to PC TrueType for use
- with Windows 3.1); an upper and lower case font, MarkerFeltWide makes
- typed copy look spontaneously hand lettered and gives messages urging
- immediacy a casual, personal touch as if made with a wide, felt-tip
- marker. Similar to MarkerFeltThin, but offering wider stroked letters.
-
- Use for eye-catching notices, headlines and ad display to convey
- spontaneous expression for messages of: urgency, immediacy or:
- "Take notice!"
-
- Instead of reaching for a trusted (hopefully capped) felt-tip pen loaded
- with permanent ink to scrawl impulsive messages, reach for the keyboard
- and click away. Cartoonists tell me MarkerFeltThin is excellent at
- smaller sizes (I recommend no lower than 12 pts.) The same with
- MarkerFeltWide. It's IDEAL at 24 and up for ad copy, posters, displays
- etc.
-
- Normal keyboard strokes will produce numbers, the hyphen and = sign, and
- shifted symbols also the superscripted numbers of 00 and 99 above the <and >
- to give better visual effect when wanting to show prices of like $4.99
- $5.00. Input from registered users caused me to create Version 2 which
- updates the font with additional characters: legal symbols, Ellipses,
- em and en dashes several diacritical characters and more.
-
- To Install: Once in Windows 3.1 launch the Control Panel in the Main
- window. Select Fonts utility and click on the Add...Button. Choose the
- drive and/or directory to locate he TrueType font (.TTF file). Your font
- should appear in the Installed Fonts window. Close the dialog box.
- You shouldn't have to restart Windows.
-
- Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the shareware fee
- of $11. If you SHARE this font, please include all files and documents
- in one folder. I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year
- book DTP, and commercial art to future artists, possibly typographers
- (alias) high school students; and produce serious art for local,
- regional and national juried exhibitions. Please mention where you obtained
- the font, name and Ver. No., and the format i.e. PC TrueType etc. If you
- SHARE this font with others, please include all files and documents in one
- archive/folder. I also enjoy receiving copies or sample of works created with
-
- my fonts. I show them to students so they can see wheat real people
- are really doing in today's DTP world.

- History:
