This font started out as a demo and to add my signature to letters automatically. Recently I went nuts and added the Texas items and renamed it "Armadillo". The font ID is 200.
Some background for those of you from the lesser states: The armadillo began as a scan from "The Official Armadillo Poster" purchased at Billy Bob's Texas, the world's largest honkytonk (seated 7,000, held 13,500 total) in Fort Worth.
The larger you print these, the better they look. Not all styles work with all characters, but italic, extend, and condense work well. Shadow works well with the solid characters. Experiment with various combinations for interesting effects.
To use, install the screen fonts with Font/DA Mover or a utility like Suitcase II. Sizes provided are 12, 14, 18, 24, 36, and 72. Put "Armad" in your System folder.
The screen fonts got only minor touchup, so these won't work well on an ImageWriter. Sorry. Feel free to touch them up with ResEd or Fontastic.
Armadillo is beerware. If you use it, you must chug a Lone Star longneck or local equivalent in my name. Fail to do so and you may get sick and die someday. Armadillo is NOT TO BE SOLD under any circumstance, except by user groups where a fee is normally collected for the disk to cover costs and raise funds for the club. This excludes commercial shareware and PD distribution services.

F-O-N-T-S FONTS, each character in a different style for demos
* These characters are white or gray filled and stroked (outlined) with the minimum weight line of your printer. The line width remains the same regardless of font size. This makes the outline very sharp. In "t" and "s" the lines are made by drawing a slightly smaller figure inside and then filling the area in between - as you normally would in an alphabetic character. This makes the line width controllable (but tedious to do), and the width will remain proportional. However, the center area is transparent. Remember this if you place these characters on top of a shaded area.
