SnyderSpeed v 3 is a MacIntosh Type 1 Postscript (converted to PC 
TrueType for use with Windows 3.1) display/headline font duplicating the 
spontaneous, hand-lettered, brush-stroke used by commercial artists and 
sign painters to create eye-catching copy for signs, banners, posters, 
window or show card displays etc.

Looks great at any size, but shines at sizes 36 and over. In their bag 
of hand-lettered alphabets, sign painters use the speed-brush technique 
when wanting to create a message looking active, bold, scripted, and 
free form.  

To Install: Once in Windows 3.1 launch the Control Panel in the Main 
window. Select Fonts utility and click on the Add...Button. Choose the 
drive and/or directory to locate he TrueType font (.TTF file). Your font 
should appear in the Installed  Fonts window. Close the dialog box. You 
shouldn't have to restart Windows.

Normal keyboard strokes will produce numbers, the hyphen and = sign, and 
these shifted symbols above numbers: ! $ % & ( ) +.  I used the  < and > 
keystrokes to produce superscripted numbers of 99 and 00 to give better 
visual effect when wanting to show prices ending this way:  $3.99, $4.99 
or $5.00 etc. Input from registered users caused me to create Version 3
which updates the font with additional  characters: legal symbols,
bullet, ellipses, en and em dashes and several diacritical characters,
on a few full ascii keyboard character are not included and you probably
don't need them anyway for display copy purposes (mathamatical symbols
etc.) 

I currently teach drawing, painting, printmaking, year book DTP, and 
commercial art to future artists, possibly typographers (alias) high 
school students; and  produce serious art for local, regional and 
national juried exhibitions. I enjoy receiving copies or samples  of work
created with my fonts. I show works to students so they can see what real
people are accomplishing with DTP. 

SnyderSpeed was my first attempt at recreating, one of my memorized sign
painting alphabets on the Mac, since then,  PC users have requested the 
font. Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the 
shareware fee of $15. Please mention where you obtained the font, name 
and Ver. No., and the format i.e. PC TrueType etc.  If you SHARE this 
font with others, please include all files and documents in one 
archive/folder.

History:
Since creating my first font SnyderSpeed Brush (11/91 v.1 upper case 
only), the encouragement of shareware fees and/or input from users, 
allowed me to update SnyderSpeed by adding lower case (1/92), plus 
create OregonWet (on AOL's Nov. 91 top download's list), OregonDry,  
MarkerFeltThin 2/92, MarkerFeltWide 4/92 (used by Aldus Magazine's "New 
Comics" article, pgs.18-20 July/Aug '92 issue) and StarsAndStripes 7/92;  
updates to MarkerFelt Thin v2, MFWide v2 and (SnyderSpeed Brush v3  9/92
and ComicsCarToon 10/92 (featured in Aldus Magazine 3/93), both top 
downloads; NeedlePointSew 11/92; MarkerFinePoint 3/93. Fonts are
available both in Type 1 and  True Type Formats on AOL and CServe for
the Mac.

*4/93 fonts converted for PC use with Windows 3.1 in TType format and
planned for uploading by May1993 via CServe modem, DTP forum; and in
 Oregon via Night OWl BBS (503) 267-4338 which to date has no connect
 charge. Thanks ahead of time for supporting shareware!
