- Well, here it is...finally...after being told of the
- existance of this font from 10 different sources,
- I finally tracked down the elusive PostScript Escape Font
- on Compuserv. Now Sumex has it also. There were no
- copyright notices or author information included on Compuserv.
-
- Any text that is formatted with this font will be interpreted
- by a PostScript printer as PostScript code. What this
- means is that you can imbed PostScript code into any document,
- >From nearly any application.
-
- I use it to place a light grey "PRELIMINARY" across
- my documents, underneath the text. Dark enough to see
- yet light enought not to interfere with reading the
- document.
-
- This PostScript trick and others are discribed in
- a short manual which I have included with the font.
- I also talk in the manual about using the PostScript
- font in various applications. Printing the manual
- also produces a mild surprise (Microsoft Word only).
-
- Enjoy.
