- WAS INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL MAC FILE:

- Notes on LORVAD¬ (formerly Printers Devil) fonts:
- Albatross is a text body font with a moderately short x-height.
- The relative point size is a bit small (i.e. 14 point is closer to
- what most people would consider 12 point). It contains all the
- regular characters and many special characters. Shareware $10.
-
- Judas is a display font patterned on Adobe wood type Ironwood. It
- contains only caps, numbers, and a few special characters. It
- seems to look best at 16 points or larger. Very interesting
- negative space It is shareware-$10 (or thirty silver dollars if
- you want us to feel guilty).
-
- LORVAD fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey,
- BlackForest, InkaBod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross, and Dedalus
- These fonts are NOT demos. They contain all the regular
- alphanumeric characters. Most contain an assortment of special
- characters. Fonts contain ╥hinting╙; usually over one hundred
- kerning pairs are defined. AFM files are included. Bodidly Bold,
- Oswald Black, Blackforest, Inkabod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross,
- and Dedalus are type 1 PostScript fonts and may also be used with
- ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey , a type 3 font, may
- only be used on PostScript printers. It has an 80% grey fill with
- a black border. Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in small
- or large sizes. I╒d recommend using Oswald Grey at 24 points or
- larger.
-
- BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any curves. With one
- or two exceptions all angles are multiples of 45 degrees.
- BlackForest has an old world German feel. It seems to look best
- about 24 points. InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font Nordic.
- On the LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and above. On the
- ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger.
-
- CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font. It
- contains only the basic 90+ characters.
