[There is a separate IFF picture included in this directory to show this font]
Ashley is a new Type 1 Postscript font that mimics a sophisticated, probably
female, print handwriting. It's wonderful for adding realistic annotations to
documents, or making handwritten memos. Rotating the annotations slightly
and putting them in another color maximizes the effect. It prints well in its
normal style, and when oblique and heavy (Postscript's synthetic Italic
and Bold just select Italic and/or Bold from the menu and it should come out
OK).
You are welcome to install Ashley, just drag the files Ashle and Ashley.AFM
into your System folder, and use the Font/DA mover (or Suitcase II etc.) to
install the file Ashley.bitmap into your system file. Take a look at it,
write a personalized memo to yourself, print some out...You can even imagine
your secretary writing like this (great for those who don't have a secretary,
but wished they did!).
To save downloading time, I've only included 24 point bitmap. If you have
ATM, Ashley should look nice at most sizes. If you have a LaserWriter or
other Postscript Printer, your printouts should look great, provided you've
installed Ashley properly and aren't printing a PICT version (like the sample
at the top of this document). For those of you needing more bitmap sizes,
they are available, as well as foreign/special charaters and EPS art for
customization.
Ashley is being distributed as SHAREWARE. This allows you to try it out before
you decide whether it's worth keeping. If you keep it and use it, The Author
(that's me) requests that you pay him $10 by check or money order in US funds.
If you are using it for commercial purposes, please pay $25. When I receive and
cash your check, you are granted a license to use Ashley (the Author maintains
the copyright). If you don't like it, or don't feel it's worth $10 to you,
drag it into the trash, or let your friends & associates take a look instead.
You are free to distribute & upload Ashley, provided that you keep all of
these files (Especially this one!) TOGETHER and ABSOLUTELY UNALTERED. Please
don't sell Ashley or use it as an incentive to sell something else.
If you feel too lazy/cheap/busy to send me a check, imagine how long it takes
to make and refine a typeface, drawn completely de novo (i.e. without another
font serving as a template). Think how much you would have paid for a font
like this retail. The more people respond favorably, the more incentive I'll
have to make new and better typefaces, and support the ones I've made...the
shareware concept makes computing better for all of us. Thanks for your
support, and enjoy the Font!
Please make check payable to (and send to):
Peter Jensen
152 Hawthorne Ave.
Glen Ridge, NJ 07028 USA
Also:
A full Type 1 Ashley character set is available for $25. This includes
licensing & registration, materials, postage & handling. Please specify that
you want The "ASHLEY FULL CHARACTER SET" with your check, and since I'm a
one-man operation, allow me some time to get it out to you (Start screaming
at eight weeks). Bitmap Collections and Illustrator/Freehand EPS Art are
included, and TrueType formats will be available sometime soon. Other fonts
are available as well, e.g. Caraway Bold and BlackForest, please ask for
samples.
