Converted for Pagestream using Fontverter from MEGATYPE Software.
You may want to do some some spacing with the Pagestream editor.
The file came from GENIE and the original doc file is
below. It does not list the author's name, but it was downloaded
by S.CEROVICH. One of the key words is FREE. Walshe

The ARCHITECT Font - for Calamus
Just in case you were curious about the route this font followed to
end up in your Calamus fonts folder;
-it was originally created as a Mac Type 1 PostScript font and
uploaded to the DTP RT here on GEnie.
-it was then transformed into an IBM Type 1 PostScript font with
Creative Bits' Type 1 Tools, and again uploaded to the DTP RT
-I got my hands on it and converted it into an ECF file (the native
format of Font Designer-1)
-I then used Fontverter-1 to convert the ECF file to the CFN format
-finally I added missing extended characters with TypeCad-2
-(auto-kerning is available with either TypeCad or CalEd (which is
one of the programs included with the Fontverter package.)
Aren't I an industrious fellow? Working that hard to bring you a
nice font? (Don't tell anyone, but the entire operation, from where
I got my hands on the font until it was ready to be uploaded took
almost a whole hour....)
*******************************************
-1 Font Designer and Fontverter are available from MegaType
(GEnie - DFTURNOCK)
-2 TypeCad is available from Gregg Rodgers
(GEnie - G.RODGERS2)

Enjoy!!!!
Oh, by the way, here's a little hint. We do strictly dtp. I have
WordPerfect, but it's been collecting dust since we hooked into a
Moniterm a year ago. Every once in a while, one of our regular
clients asks us to run off a bunch of form letters for them. Rather
than sending them to a wordprocessing business, we create their mail
list for them with a data base, then print it out to disk. Using
Calamus, I create a document with a text frame on it just large
enough to hold one address. (I create the frame where I want the
address to go obviously.) If there are 100 letters, I then copy the
1st page (including layout) 100 times and chain the text frames
together. Import your address list into the text frame on the first
page. You end up with 100 addressed pages. What good is that? Well
the next thing I do is create the letter itself in a new text frame
on the first page, then use that frame as a header/footer frame and
voila 100 addressed letters. You'd be surprised how little memory
those 100 letters use up. For instance, I just did a small batch of
26 letters. Using this method used up 31865 bytes. Creating the
letter on all 26 pages instead of using the header/footer method used
48698 bytes. Now if you extrapulate (today's big word) over a job,
say 4 times the size, well you can see how much more memory you would
use up by creating the letter on every page. This method can be used
for any project that is of a repeating nature. I've used it do to
batches of certificates, form letters, report forms, etc. etc.
