-
- Ashley is a new Type 1 Postscript font that mimics a sophisticated, probably
- female, print handwriting. It's wonderful for adding realistic annotations to
- documents, or making handwritten memos. Rotating the annotations slightly
- and putting them in another color maximizes the effect. It prints well in its
- normal style, and when oblique and heavy (Postscript's synthetic Italic
- and Bold just select Italic and/or Bold from the menu and it should come out
- OK).
-
- You are welcome to install Ashley, just drag the files Ashle and Ashley.AFM
- into your System folder, and use the Font/DA mover (or Suitcase II etc.) to
- install the file Ashley.bitmap into your system file. Take a look at it,
- write a personalized memo to yourself, print some out...You can even imagine
- your secretary writing like this (great for those who don't have a secretary,
- but wished they did!).
-
- To save downloading time, I've only included 24 point bitmap. If you have
- ATM, Ashley should look nice at most sizes. If you have a LaserWriter or
- other Postscript Printer, your printouts should look great, provided you've
- installed Ashley properly and aren't printing a PICT version (like the sample
- at the top of this document). For those of you needing more bitmap sizes,
- they are available, as well as foreign/special charaters and EPS art for
- customization.
-
- Ashley is being distributed as SHAREWARE. This allows you to try it out before
- you decide whether it's worth keeping. If you keep it and use it, The Author
- (that's me) requests that you pay him $10 by check or money order in US funds.
- If you are using it for commercial purposes, please pay $25. When I receive and
- cash your check, you are granted a license to use Ashley (the Author maintains
- the copyright). If you don't like it, or don't feel it's worth $10 to you,
- drag it into the trash, or let your friends & associates take a look instead.
-
- You are free to distribute & upload Ashley, provided that you keep all of
- these files (Especially this one!) TOGETHER and ABSOLUTELY UNALTERED. Please
- don't sell Ashley or use it as an incentive to sell something else.
-
- If you feel too lazy/cheap/busy to send me a check, imagine how long it takes
- to make and refine a typeface, drawn completely de novo (i.e. without another
- font serving as a template). Think how much you would have paid for a font
- like this retail. The more people respond favorably, the more incentive I'll
- have to make new and better typefaces, and support the ones I've made...the
- shareware concept makes computing better for all of us. Thanks for your
- support, and enjoy the Font!

- Please make check payable to (and send to):

- Also:
- A full Type 1 Ashley character set is available for $25. This includes
- licensing & registration, materials, postage & handling. Please specify that
- you want The "ASHLEY FULL CHARACTER SET" with your check, and since I'm a
- one-man operation, allow me some time to get it out to you (Start screaming
- at eight weeks). Bitmap Collections and Illustrator/Freehand EPS Art are
- included, and TrueType formats will be available sometime soon. Other fonts
- are available as well, e.g. Caraway Bold and BlackForest, please ask for
- samples.
