   The Fontographer is a utility designed to create printouts of all
available fonts installed on your system similar to those found in
a typesetter's type book. This demonstration version allows you to print
out a list of all available fonts on your system in their respective
typefaces and print complete character sets for these typefaces.
   If you find this program to be of use you may register your copy
and receive the completed Fontographer which adds the ability to
print reference cards for each typeface (that contain all 256
characters defined in the font), and added control in the formatting
of your output.
   The Fontographer is also geared at weeding out fonts that seem to work
on screen, but cause the (Postscript) printer to crash. In writing this
program I discovered six such fonts on my system.
   Registration also entitles you the right to purchase fonts from our
public domain library of Adobe Type Manager(tm) compatible fonts for
$7.50 per disk (each disk is a 3.5" 1.44 Meg disk). We currently have
five disks available.

   To register your copy of The Fontographer and order the official
version please send a check/money order for $10.00 US + $2.00 shipping
to the above address or call for C.O.D. orders.

                                  Thank You,

                                  Alan D. Reeve

Notes:      Printing fonts takes up a lot of memory. On our development
       system we have 66 different fonts. This took 10-15 minutes for
       the printing of each typeface function to complete generation
       of output so be prepared to wait...the results will be worth
       it. 
            Also, please note that due to the amount of data being
       printed, at least with our Postscript printer, the Print
       Manager would frequently stall returning Unable To Write To LPT1:
       messages. We fixed that by syncing the program and the printer
       (which means the program had to slow down, unfortunately, and
       and not the converse) which in turn means the Abort button is
       not instantly responsive.
