Re: Musicological font (updated)

Font Type: TrueType, Postscript Type 1, Windows BMP,
+ high res. BMP fonts for some popular printers
Price: GBP 11.50 or USD 25.00
* Mac version is on the way. Please let me know if you are

ABOUT THE FONT
==============
BACH consists of screen and laser printer fonts for professional
quality display and printout under Windows 3.0 or 3.1's graphical
environment.
BACH contains both a comprehensive set of musical symbols AND
usual numbers or alphabetical characters in a single font.
This enables anyone who wish to write musicological sentences.
Shareware version includes Postscript Type 3 fonts, Windows BMP,
plus HP Laserjet II/III portrait fonts (8, 10, 12, 14 pts).
If you are interested, I can send it to you upon request via Email
(free) or DISK (GBP2 or US$5).
FEATURES
========
* Almost WYSIWYG effect without Adobe Type Manager.
(TrueType and ATM version are supplied for Registered
users, which give TRUE WYSIWYG!)
* Unlike Adobe's postscript font for music "SONATA",
Bach is a Roman family font and is fully compatible
with normal applications, such as wordprocessor,
spreadsheet and database.
* Bach enables you to write musical and musicological
sentences in most Windows applications that are capable
of choosing Windows' fonts. If you are a spreadsheet or
a database user (under which you are normally permitted
to use one font only for a field / record), this font
is probably the only option for you.
* Bach contains usual Roman numbers and alphabetical
characters in addition to musical symbols.
* Endless variety of notational patterns (up to
hemidemisemiquavers) and ornaments (e.g., doppelt
cadence und mordant) can be created by combination of
characters in the font.
CONCEPT OF THE FONT
===================
To carry out my research work in musicology, I used database
in Windows, which allowed me to use graphic symbols.
But I needed to develop a font which had both music symbols
and ordinary alphabetical characters in a single font in order
to compile my database.
Bach preserves the characters in normal ROMAN family typeface
in the range "0-9, A-Z, a-z, "'`()+;:?[]/{}|". Music symbols
occupy the rest of the keys on the keyboard "ú$%^&*-=#~@<>"
as well as the extended ASCII range accessible by Windows'
applications.
Upon registration, you will receive a registered version of
fonts, a printed manual and several other gifts including
Music Symbol Editor for Wingz and Ami Pro.
