I've always wanted "Western-looking" fonts to use with my Imagewriter II when producing newsletters. I simply couldn't find any. I tried inquiring with several software companies to produce "Western" Fonts; one said, "Sure we'll make them and even send you a free copy." Two years later, I still had no "Western Fonts" and they didn't answer my letters. I finally got smart and took the matter into my own hands. In this font file you have just downloaded, you will find 2 different sizes of "Playbill." First, I Thunderscanned a page out of a typography book, then I opened a "New" font with Altsys' Fontastic Plus v1.4. I then pasted each letter into its appropriate place in the font, then I painstakingly "cleaned-up" each letter.
After completing Playbill 124, I duplicated and then "scaled down" this font to Playbill 62. That took some cleaning up, too.
As I'm sure you know, with the Imagewriter II, if you want a particular size, you should also load the font size that is TWICE the size you really want. This prints your desired size with much greater resolution. If you want Playbill 62 for instance, make sure you also have loaded Playbill 124. The Imagewriter II will take Playbill 124 and reduce it 50% to 62 when it is printed, and it will look much nicer.
Keep in mind, however, this is the very first font I have created, and you may just find some minor details that I have overlooked. All in all, this font will look good for "Wanted" posters and for any other large type operation.
This is freeware. I made this font and I want to share it with you. You are free to give it out to anyone you like. You do not owe me any money; however, I would just be tickled if you dropped me an E-Mail and told me how much you like this font. I would also be curious to know to what use you are putting this font. If you lose my E-Mail Number, you may choose Shift-Option-Tilde on Playbill 124 only and you'll see a cowboy with my name and E-Mail number on it! (The Tilde is the upper-most key to the left on most keyboards.)
