- THIS FONT WAS BEEN CONVERTED FROM MAC TO PC FORMAT - THE FOLLOWING
- WAS INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL MAC FILE:
-
- December 1990
-
- Notes on LORVADª (formerly Printers Devil) fonts:
- Albatross is a text body font with a moderately short x-height.
- The relative point size is a bit small (i.e. 14 point is closer to
- what most people would consider 12 point). It contains all the
- regular characters and many special characters. Shareware $10.
-
- Judas is a display font patterned on Adobe wood type Ironwood. It
- contains only caps, numbers, and a few special characters. It
- seems to look best at 16 points or larger. Very interesting
- negative space It is shareware-$10 (or thirty silver dollars if
- you want us to feel guilty).
-
- LORVAD fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey,
- BlackForest, InkaBod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross, and Dedalus
- These fonts are NOT demos. They contain all the regular
- alphanumeric characters. Most contain an assortment of special
- characters. Fonts contain ÒhintingÓ; usually over one hundred
- kerning pairs are defined. AFM files are included. Bodidly Bold,
- Oswald Black, Blackforest, Inkabod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross,
- and Dedalus are type 1 PostScript fonts and may also be used with
- ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey , a type 3 font, may
- only be used on PostScript printers. It has an 80% grey fill with
- a black border. Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in small
- or large sizes. IÕd recommend using Oswald Grey at 24 points or
- larger.
-
- BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any curves. With one
- or two exceptions all angles are multiples of 45 degrees.
- BlackForest has an old world German feel. It seems to look best
- about 24 points. InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font Nordic.
- On the LaserWriter it looks great at 14 points and above. On the
- ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and larger.
-
- CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font. It
- contains only the basic 90+ characters.
-
- The bitmap screenfonts are just your basic Fontographer-generated
- characters with minimal touchup. With ATM on the market IÕd
- rather spend my time polishing up the PostScript file than slaving
- over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
-
- LORVADª fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware. Try
- them out for a month. If you decide to keep any of these fonts
- you are required to send a $10 per font registration fee to:
-

- Please indicate what font(s) you are registering. Maryland
- residents should include 5% sales tax.
-
- These products may be distributed freely as long as the following
- conditions are met: The files may not be modified and this notice
- must be included with each font or group of LORVADª fonts; Fonts
- may be included on collections of Public Domain and Shareware
- disks providing that no more than $10 is charged for the disk.

-
- If you paid for a disk with any of these fonts you are still

-
- The Bottom Line: We will continue to release laser fonts in a
- non-crippled format as long as there is a fair response to the
- registration fee.
