- What you now have is a font of someones handwriting (Mine). Is that stupid
- or what? I decided that I would start creating all sorts of silly fonts
- 'cause I can't create anything else on my Mac at this point. I couldn't
- write a line of code if you put a gun to my head and forced me.
- <P>
- Anyway, I don't know if anyone would even WANT a font of my handwriting,
- but I'm uploading it anyway. I've started with my own chicken-scratch
- because it would be completely stupid and no one else would possibly have
- a font like it. (Just think, now you can write a ransom note and pin it on
- me!) I originally wanted to be able to write personal, hand-written letters
- to all my friends and still have the convenience of mail-merge.
- <P>
- The font is of an all caps nature. (That's how I write, what can I say?)
- It looks like lettering done with a flair pen. ('cause that's what I
- used...amazing! I suppose I should've called it "BikyScript", but that
- doesn't sound as nice.) It's a complete character set with all the
- upper-case doo-hickeys. Check out the bracket keys, I've included all
- sorts of weird characters there so when you want to censore yourself, you
- can. The font doesn't look too great on-screen, but wait until you print it
- out to see what you think.
- <P>
- For you people who want to know, here's what I used to create this font.
- I scanned my handwriting in PhotoShop 1.0.7, outlined it with Adobe
- Streamline, tweaked it with Aldus Freehand 3.0, then assembled it with
- FontMonger.

- O.K., here's the part where I pretend it's shareware and ask you to send me
- five bucks. Well don't. (Or more like, WHO WOULD?!) Actually, I should
- apologize to YOU for getting you to take the time to download this. Now
- just dump all this into the trash and empty it. (That's what you're gonna do?
- Right?) Alright, if you ARE gonna keep it, you're gonna have to admit it
- to me by sending me some mail telling me that you are doing so and the
- reason why.

- Send me E-mail or write to this address: (I'd do the E-mail)
