- The Ian-Bent font is a very pretty drop caps font patterned after a German
- Art Nouveau font drawn by Otto Eckmann. You'll find a full all-caps
- alphabet here of characters surrounded by stained glass-patterns. The
- versions that have been tested and uploaded are PostScript Type 1 and
- TrueType versions for both Macintosh and PC. No other platforms are
- supported. PC versions were installed tested by your advocate Eileen
- Wharmby before they were posted in that version.

- Ian-Bent is a very complex, therefore memory-hungry font. I have been able
- to get the whole font to print on my 3 MB NEC PostScript printer, but not
- usually more than about 15 characters of the font before the printer
- requests me to do certain impossible things with my anatomy. Be careful.
- Any problems you have with printing or displaying this font are due to
- memory limitations and are not my fault, given this caveat. Hey, the guys
- who made up the specifications for scaleable fonts were REALLY, REALLY
- strict.

- The Ian-Bent font comes to you, rather altruistically, from Insect Bytes,
- where we've recently been made aware of a rather substantial amount of
- unsanctioned and illegal distribution of our other fonts, especially in
- Europe, including commercial sale, without Readmes, of our fonts. We are
- not pleased. Yet we go on. Go ahead. Hit us again. And again.

- Ian Bent is the chairman of the Columbia University Music Department, who
- certainly deserves to have a font named after him, despite his British
- accent.
