ABOUT FONTSALE
This font is similar in concept to some other fonts, i.e. an eclectic collection of styles and designs in one font. If you need an eye-catching totally informal headline or short paragraph, this font may do it for you. The characters in this font come from a variety of the fonts available in the 35HEADS font package. For more information, read on.
-------------------------------------
35HEADS -- QUALITY FONTS, REAL CHEAP!
If you enjoy this font, then read the following offer! It's your chance to get more than 35 high-quality fonts for next to nothing (... about 25 cents per font). And if you include the whole family of NewForum fonts plus the "bonus" fonts, it's nearly 50 fonts.
For the past two years, this font package has been sold for $17.50. Now it's ON SALE FOR VIRTUALLY HALF-PRICE, only $10.00. ALMOST 50 FONTS FOR A MEASLY TEN BUCKS! (For the detail sticklers: "Wait", you say, "That's not half." Well yes, you see those are the prices from my door to yours. Actually about $2.50 of that is the cost of the disk, the mailing sleeve and the postage. Not counting that $2.50, the software cost was cut in half.)
WHAT FONTS ARE AVAILABLE?
There are more than 35 distinct fonts in the complete package. There are fun fonts, traditional (but seldom-seen) fonts, very bold fonts, light fonts -- in a wide range of designs. Additionally, one of the fonts has variations to make a family of six typefaces. And even more additionally (!), there's a whole group of shareware (bonus) fonts. These are previously releases which you may not have gotten.
Why don't you take a look now? Copy the file SEE35HDS.EXE to some temporary directory that has about 450,000 bytes available. "Run" the file. It will self-extract into a Windows CardFile file. Use Windows CardFile software to take a look at all the fonts in the package. You'll also find some additional technical information and details not included here.
All of the fonts are intended for use in larger sizes. As headline type. As decorative type. For use in logo and other design work. Hence the name "35HEADS."
Some of the fonts are readable in text sizes all the way down to 5-point. But you probably already have standard text fonts, such as Times, Times Roman, Arial or Helvetica, which will work better for paragraphs of body copy. All of the fonts are kerned and hinted.
WHERE DID THESE FONTS COME FROM?
I've been in advertising and design for twenty years and jumped from drafting table to PC five years ago. I had been wanting an Egyptian Bold Condensed font for Windows, but couldn't find any available. So two years ago, I sat down one weekend and created the font in CorelDraw!. I spent a lot of time working the bugs out of the font-generating system. I released that font, which I named "Cairo," into the freeware market and became famous. (Well, semi-semi-famous.) (Due to another font distributor's use of the name Cairo, I have since re-named the revised/hinted/kerned version "Akenaten.")
With the bugs worked out, I then created another font, and another. Suddenly I had 15 fonts and started selling the whole package for ridiculously cheap prices. (Well, semi-ridiculous.) Soon, I had gotten up to 25 different fonts. (It's like peeling wallpaper. You get started and you can't stop.) And the ridiculously cheap income kept me in new software, hardware upgrades and an occasional dinner out. And this year the income bought me Fontographer for the PC. I had sworn that I was done with font-making when I finished the first 25. Now here we are talking about 35HEADS.
I have always tried to create fonts that were not available in computer-usable format. Occasionally, after I've created a font, I learn that it is available elsewhere, though certainly not at the low prices you'll pay me. Some are not available in any electronic form. My complete package of fonts will not be available through any other source. The whole package will not be released into the public domain. There's only one way to get 'em, and it'll cost you less than two bits per font.
IF THEY'RE THAT CHEAP, ARE THEY ANY GOOD?
Yes.
Take a close look at the free font you've installed. Print a "type showing" or something else using it. If you're happy with this one, you'll be happy with the others.
Thousands of users are currently using my fonts. They include CompuServe and America OnLine downloaders of the free fonts (like the one you have right now) plus purchasers of the complete font packages. These fonts were carefully crafted, character by character, in CorelDraw! and Fontographer. All fonts include kerning pairs and hinting.
Many of the shareware fonts out of this package have been included with a half-dozen books over the past year. The subject of the books ranged from font-problem-solving to WordPerfect, to Word for Windows, and even Windows itself. The fonts included were selected from the shareware fonts which had already been made available. The main 35HEADS package of 30+ additional fonts was, and still is, only available to readers or downloaders by ordering, just like you can do now.
25FONTS was favorably reviewed in WindowsUser magazine receiving 3╜ stars, even though that version of the font package was not yet kerned and hinted.
Here's some past user comments:
"I purchased your 25FONTS [the previous version of this font package] recently and really enjoy them. They're a tremendous value -- high quality and very useable."
J.B., Ojai, CA
"Love that Coliseum!!"
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
"Wow! What a deal! I really, really love your font ...."
E.L., Norwalk, CA
"My sex life has really improved since I started selling these fonts." (Not!)

DON'T I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THESE FONTS?
Several of the fonts in the package have been posted over the past two years 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. Additionally, those posted fonts, as well as all previous fonts, have now been upgraded with additional characters, kerning pairs and hinting. Even if you already have a free font or two, you'll want this complete set just for the improvements. But again, the whole package includes a group of 30+ fonts which have not been, and never will be, released as free fonts.
WHAT DO I GET?
All 35+ fonts in TrueType or PostScript, Type 1, format. You have the right to use the fonts for anything for which you would use any other purchased font. Of course you can't re-sell or pass on copies of the font files 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.
YOU HAVE A FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THESE FONTS!
HOW MUCH?
35HEADS costs $10.00 complete -- shipping, handling and disk included.
Your choice of PostScript or TrueType format. Or both formats for $12.50.
Your choice of 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" disk. The disk will be high-density.
Upgrades: If you're a registered previous purchaser of 15FONTS or 25FONTS, send only $5.00 and you'll get a complete new set in the format and disk type of your choice.

1. Print the order form below and then fill it out. Or fill it out and then print it. Or write it out on a separate piece of paper. Or, if you're really frugal, forget the order form and just mark the options (format/disk size) on the "notes" line of your check.
