- 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 chancethat 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.

- The upper case 'D' and upper case 'Z' of the Truetype version of this font
- were found not to render correctly. Both letters have been completely
- re-traced by myself and the font re-compiled using FontMonger 1.0.7. No
- claim is made which will affect the original authors rights or his
- requirement for a shareware fee to be paid to him for the use of this font.
