-
- You have unlimited rights to use this font in any form your software will use

-
-
- MY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
-
- This font is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but without any
- express warranty including even the implied warranty of merchantability or
- fitness for a particular purpose.
-
- I retain ownership of the creation of this font and rights of distribution of
-
- this font in any form.
-
- Adding new fonts generally presents no bug or compatibility problems that
- haven't already been solved when you first installed another font. I'd be
- happy to respond to your messages, compliments or general b.s. posted on
- CompuServe (72327,1702) or America OnLine (ThomasH53). Or if you send a
- stamped self-addressed envelope, I'll do my best to solve your problem or
- answer your questions.
-
-
- BUY A BUNCH OF QUALITY FONTS AT CHEAP PRICES!
-
- If you use fonts and enjoy variety on your computer display or your printer
- output then read this offer! It's your chance to get another 25 high-quality
- fonts for next to nothing (... less than a buck a font).
-
- WHAT WILL THESE FONTS WILL WORK WITH?
-
- If you have Windows 3.0 and Adobe Type Manager or Windows 3.1 (with or
- without ATM), you can use these fonts in virtually any of your Windows
- applications that permit font selection. The fonts will display on-screen and
-
- can be downloaded to your printer. Each font set includes the required
- xxx.PFB file and xxx.PFM file for PostScript or a xxx.TTF file for TrueType
- usage. Use these fonts with Aldus PageMaker, Microsoft Excel, VisualBasic,
- presentation software, or whatever.
-
- If you use Corel Draw!, each font set includes a xxx.WFN file. This Corel
- font file can be used with Corel 2.x. For Corel 3.x you have the choice of
- using TrueType, PostScript or the original .WFN format. Of course, Corel
- extends your flexibility/capability with each font by giving you a nearly
- infinite variety of bolding, italicising, outlining, stretching, and
- mutilating options.
-
- Each font set also includes an xxx.AFM file in case you need it.
-
- Please note that the files include no special kerning information. All of
- these fonts were meant to be used for headline or design purposes. Though a
- few of these fonts can be satisfactorily used for text, most will appear best
-
- at 18 points and above. Manual kerning, if necessary, can be done when the
- fonts are used in software such as PageMaker. In Corel Draw!, there's very
- little need for kerning pairs information since you're often making those
- kinds of decisions as you design.
-
-
- WHERE DID THESE FONTS COME FROM?
-
- These fonts were all created in Corel Draw!, probably my favorite piece of
- software. I had always wanted an Egyptian Bold Condensed font for the
- advertising work I do in PageMaker and Corel. I finally sat down one weekend
- and created the font in Corel, and spent a lot of time working the bugs out
- of the font-generating system. Then it just kind of snowballed into 26 (and
- counting) fonts.
-
- Most of the fonts are unavailable elsewhere in computer-usable format, which
- was my intent. Subsequent to my creating a version, I've seen some of the
- fonts available, though certainly not at the low prices you'll pay me. Some
- are unavailable in any form. My fonts will not be available through any other
-
- source. They will not be released into the public domain. There's only one
- way to get 'em, and it'll cost you much less than a dollar a font.
-
-
- WHY SO CHEAP?
-
- I wanted, or needed, these fonts myself. But others may as well benefit too.
- I've always been on the buying end of software before, so I know how it
- feels. Now I'm selling ... so rather than ask $10 or even $5 for a font
- that's already created, I'm asking less than a dollar! I'm not gonna get
- rich, but maybe I'll get compensated for the weeks put in creating the fonts.
-
-
-
- IF THEY'RE THAT CHEAP, ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
-
- There have been over 5,000 downloads of the free fonts and many, many
- purchases of my prior offerings of 14, and then 15-font packages. The font
- Cairo was included on disk with the recent book "The Font Problem Solver" by
- David D. Busch, published by Business One Irwin.
-
- Here's some user comments:
-
- "Thanks a lot for the Comaro font, it looks great in Corel...."
- C.J., Sheffield, England
-
- "Love that Coliseo!!"
- R.J., Woodbury, CT
-
- "I just got your set of incredibly inexpensive fonts. Please let me know
- when you are bringing out more fonts."
- C.G., CompuServe message
-
- "I downloaded one of your (fonts) from recently and would very much like to
-
- have the other 13."
- V.W., Finland
-
- "My sex life has really improved since I started using your fonts." (Not!)
- T.H., Clearwater, FL
-
-
- WHAT FONTS ARE AVAILABLE?
-
- Copy the file FONTSHOW.EXE to some temporary directory with about 350K
- available. Run the file. It will self-extract into a CardFile file. Open up
- Windows CardFile and take a look at all the fonts you'll get. By the way, if
- the bitmap font name is in all upper case, then the font is upper case only
- (plus numerals, punctuation, etc.) If the name is upper and lower case, then
- the font has both character sets.
-
- If you're interested in having a custom font made, perhaps of your own hand
- printing, write or e-mail me. I've already made some custom fonts and can do
- one for you for less than you may have seen advertised.
-
-
- DON'T I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE FONTS?
-
- Only the BeesWax, Cairo, Comaro, Coliseum and Marbold fonts were posted over
- the past year 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. BeesWax, Cairo and Comaro have been updated to add the British Pound
-
- character, some other characters, and some character revisions or clean-ups.
-
-
- WHAT DO I GET?
-
- All 25 fonts in PostScript, Type 1 format or TrueType format. Either format
- includes a matching set of Corel .WFN files. You have the right to use the
- fonts for anything for which you would use any other font. Of course you
- can't re-sell or pass on the fonts 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. Please DO load this free archived font package
-
- on any bulletin board you'd like to. (Be sure that you upload the complete,
- original archived package.)
-
- You'll also get the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping to save a
- marriage by allowing me to show my wife the checks as justification for all
- the time I put in at my 286. These fonts are distributed in the hope that
- they will be useful, but without any warranty including even the implied
- warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. YOU HAVE A
- FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE IF THESE FONTS DO NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED!
-
-
- HOW MUCH?
-
- You can have all 25 fonts, in either format, for $15 total, shipping &
- handling included. For both PostScript and TrueType formats, send $20. Disk
- cost is included with your choice of 5 1/4 or 3 1/2, at no extra charge.
- Canadians please send U.S. denomination postal money order available from
