Playbill is a Postscript version of one of the many western
style╙ fonts. It has upper and lower case letters and most
common punctuation. It should work on any genuine Postscript font
or with Adobe's ATM. If you use it with a Postscript clone of
any sort and it works, I'd appreciate you letting me know about
it.
Playbill is free for non-commercial applications. If you feel
compelled to send money you can, but you are under no obligation
to do so. I am more interested in comments or suggestions. You
may contact me at my Compuserve address of 73627,3612 or at my
mail address:
Hank Gillette
432 Tyrella Ave
Mt. View, CA 94043
Since I am giving this font away, I cannot guarantee that I will
be able to help you with any problems (but don't be afraid to
ask). Please do not call me. If for some reason you have my
address but not the font (don't ask me how, but this has
happened), I will send you a copy only if you include a disk and
a stamped mailed addressed to you.
You may freely give away this font to your friends or upload it
to your favorite bulletin board. I encourage you to do this.
Please keep this Read Me file with it if you do distribute it.
If you are a commercial enterprise selling disks of shareware and
freeware, you may not distribute this font without my permission.
If you sell it, you should send the money to me.
Playbill was generated with Fontographer¬ 3.1. and is offered
as is. I will not accept responsibility if it doesn't work for
you or if you use it in an important report and your boss hates
it and fires you.
Installation Instructions For Novices
If you've never installed a Postscript font before, don't worry,
it's pretty easy. You do have a Postscript printer or ATM, don't
you? Ok, then all you have to do is 2 things.
1. Install one or both of the Playbill screen fonts (the ones in
the suitcase icon named Playbill) into your System file,
using Apple's Font/DA mover. If this doesn't make any sense
to you, then you are either a beginner or Dan Quayle. In
either case you should read the documentation that came with
your Mac, concentrating on the stuff about installing fonts
and the Font/DA mover.
2. Put the printer font named Playb into your system folder.
That's it. You're ready to use Playbill in your favorite
word processor, drawing program, or other program that uses
fonts. (If you are using Microsoft Word (TM), you will have
to do addition procedures to get Playbill to appear in the
Font menu; consult your documentation.) Be advised that your
output will look much better that it does on screen; I didn't
bother doing much editing of the screen font. Even though
there is only one size of screen font, you can print Playbill
out at any size that your software supports. Because of the
heaviness of the Playbill letter forms, it looks pretty bad
in sizes below 24 points.
If you have Suitcase II¬ or Master Juggler ¬, you probably aren't
really a novice, but just in case - all you have to do is make
sure the screen font and printer fonts are in the same folder and
then open the screen font with Suitcase II or Master Juggler. If
you don't have either of these programs and use a lot of fonts or
DAs then you should have one of them. I have Suitcase II and
recommend it highly, but I'm given to understand that Master
Juggler is just as good - indeed, some people prefer it.
However, if you use Compuserve, you can contact Steve Brecher
(the author of Suitcase II) at any time.

Hey, you already know to install a Postscript font, right? What
can I tell you that you don't already know? Get out of here.
