This font is considered FREEWARE and may be distributed freely as long as this file, the suitcase containing the screen fonts, and the printer font are together and unchanged. This is the first version of this specific font so be sure to visit PIXL or to check your favorite BBS for newest version and other upcoming fonts.
This font contains many of the symbols/artwork that I consider to be the most needed. Below is the key cap and what character you can expect to print from it.
1 = The 1/4 fraction. Real fraction for "one-quarter."
2 = The 1/2 fraction. Real fraction for "one-half."
3 = The 3/4 fraction. Real fraction for "three-quarter."
4 = The Command key symbol, also known as the "Cloverleaf."
5 = No Smoking symbol. Cigarette inside circle with slash.
6 = Fancy compass or map symbol for showing North.
Opt+8 = Replaces small, ugly Bullet with a large one.
a = Full-color Apple logo art.
b = Unchecked Ballot Box.
B = Checked Ballot Box.
d = Discover credit card art.
e = American Express credit card art.
m = MasterCard credit card art.
r = Registration mark art. For use with page layout programs
with the registration color option.
v = Visa credit card art.
This font will be growing as I add more characters, but if you have any suggestions for a key that you feel is missing, give me a call at the phone number below. Because of the nature of the artwork the screen fonts don't look very good, especially the small sizes. I have tried FontSizer, but a few of the characters are too complex and locks the printer up.
If you or your company needs custom PostScript fonts with specific characters, your logo, your signature, etc. call Al Telles at his voice phone number 619-561-0540.
I have been mentioning the word PIXL quite a few times, but you probably don't have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about. PIXL is a service bureau that specializes in professional quality Linotronic-300 output at a very reasonable price. They know most DTP software inside-out and are quite helpful. They also have a couple Mac II computers with large screen monitors for renting by the hour. If you need to run-out a job on a L-300, or need to scan images or for OCR conversion, or just need help, give them a call at 619-566-LINO. Better yet, go and visit them at 7123 Construction Court, San Diego, CA 92121 (Just off of Miramar Road).
