- Notes on Printers Devil fonts:
- Printers Devil fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey,
- BlackForest, InkaBod, and CartWright
-
- These fonts are NOT crippled. 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, and Inkabod 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.
-
- The bitmap screenfonts are just your basic Fontographer-generated characters
- with minimal touchup. With ATM on the market I'd rather spend my time polishing
- up the PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
-
- Printers Devil fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware. Try them out
- for a month. If you decide to keep any of these fonts you are required to send
- a $10 per font registration fee to:
- Printers Devil
- PoBox 1828
- Easton Md 21601
- Please indicate what font(s) you are registering. Maryland residents should
- include 5% sales tax.
-
- These products may be distributed freely as long as the following conditions
- are met: The files may not be modified and this notice must be included with
- each font or group of Printer Devil fonts; Fonts may be included on collections
- of Public Domain and Shareware disks providing that no more than $10 is
- charged for the disk.
-
- The Bottom Line: We will continue to release laser fonts in a non-crippled
- format as long as there is a fair response to the registration fee.
