TICKER TAPE For MS Windows
DESCRIPTION
TICKER TAPE is a sans-serif typeface that simulates letters,
whole numbers fractions, and symbols that might appear on a
stockbroker's ticker tape or on the "ticker tape" screen display on
cable TV channels such as CNN and CNBC. This font was developed for
writing portions of the book: "The Informed Investor's Guide to
Financial Quotations: Evaluating Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, Futures,
and Options" by Howard M. Berlin, published 1994 by Business One-
Irwin, a division of Times Mirror.
FILES:
This shareware package is distributed with the following files:
README.1ST This is the file you are reading
TKRTAPE.WRI TICKER TAPE inforamtion file. Use MS Window's
WRITE.EXE to read after font installation
REGISTER.DOC License information and registration form
TKRTAPE.TTF TICKER TAPE Truetype file
TKRTAPE.AFM TICKER TAPE Adobe Font Metrics file
TKRTAPE.INF TICKER TAPE Adobe file
TKRTAPE.PFB TICKER TAPE Postscript file
TKRTAPE.PFM TICKER TAPE Postscript file
TICKER TAPE is distributed with both TrueType (.TTF) and
PostScript/Adobe Type 1 (.AFM, .PFB, and .PFM) files which allow
scalable point sizes and provide support for printers supported by
Microsoft Windows. Since the TICKER TAPE font is attached to the
operating system of Microsoft Windows and is not part of a particular
Word Processor, it is available to any and all Windows executable
programs which allow for full font selection.
FONT INSTALLATION:
TICKER TAPE TrueType and PostScript (Type 1) fonts are installed
like any other fonts of the same type.
REGISTRATION:
TICKER TAPE is available as shareware. It may be examined,
tested, and tried out for free on a 30-day trial basis for the purpose
of determining whether TICKER TAPE is suitable for your needs. The use
of unlicensed copies of TICKER TAPE, outside of the initial 30-day
trial, by any person, business, corporation, government agency or any
other entity is strictly prohibited.
The use of TICKER TAPE, except for the initial 30-day trial,
requires registration (See REGISTER.DOC) and payment of a registration
fee of $5.00 ($US). At this price, I won't become a millionaire but it
will not break **your** bank. It merely helps pay for the commercial
software used in creating these fonts in the first place and provides
encouragement for the creation of future products.
OTHER PRODUCTS:
The following other shareware fonts are available:
EUROPE20.ZIP - Allows the user to add those additional letters
having various diacritical marks as well as several unique characters
for European languages using the Latin (non-Cyrillic) alphabet. Many
of these characters are not provided as extended ANSI characters for
the standard Arial (Universal/Helvetica) and New Times Roman typefaces
that come with MS Windows. These diacritical marks include the grave,
acute, tilde, dieresis (umlaut), Hungarian umlaut, macron, breve,
circumflex, caron, ring, cedilla, lenis, asper, and several others
with non-household names. Special letters include the slash O and L,
German double S, and AE.
Currently, the following 23 languages are supported:
Albanian Latvian (Lettish)
Croatian Lithuanian
Czech Norwegian
Danish Polish
Dutch Portuguese
Esperanto Roumanian
Estonian Slovak
Finnish Slovenian
French Spanish
German Swedish
Hungarian Turkish
Italian
EUROPEAN is an economical and affordable alternative to commercial
foreign language word processors and add-on fonts costing $99 and
more. The use of EUROPEAN, except for the initial 30-day trial,
requires registration $10.00 ($US) for the 5-¼" disk (add $1 for the
3-½" disk); Overseas add $1 for airmail.
TORAH SOFER (Torah Scribe) - A Hebrew typeface replicates the
style used in Torah scrolls in regular, bold, and bold italic weights.
There are all 27 letters of the Hebrew alphabet plus four punctuation
characters. As with the scriptural Hebrew style written in the Torah,
no vowel signs, points, "sh'va", and cantillation marks (disjunctives
and conjunctives) are supported as may be done with other Hebrew font
packages. Although scriptural Hebrew does not use punctuation, modern
Hebrew does, and the "soph-pasuk" (:), "makkeph" (-), single prime (')
and double prime (") marks are included as a conveience. Registration
fee $5.00 ($US).
