GRIFFIN DINGBATS -- PostScript Type 1 /PC FONT GriffinDingbats contains about 155 picture characters and a rather ornate Gothic drop caps font. The picture images range from Art Nouveau printer ornaments, Renaissance printer ornaments and woodcut printer ornaments to smiling, walking vegetables; the drop caps letters are based on a Gothic typeface called Celebration. This is the IBM PC version. A TrueType version is also available. NOTET: This version is broken up into smaller pieces which should alleviate problems encountered in the huge full version. The font characters should be self-explanatory. Repeating characters and borders will be found everywhere; certain woodcut characters and ornaments have a deliberately rough quality to them, in order to preserve their original printed character. Some ornaments in the higher ASCII range will need to be printed at a size exceeding 72 points, at 300 dpi, in order to have the intended white-on-black effect.

It is shareware. IÕm sure youÕll agree that itÕs one of the best picture fonts available as shareware (even better than DavysDingbats!). If you like the font, use the font, or keep the font, please please please PLEASE will you consider making a tax-deductible contribution to the Griffin Music Ensemble of $12 or more? The Griffin Music Ensemble is a six-year old performing ensemble, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, which is dedicated to the performance of music composed by established and young composers; in six years it has presented over twenty-five world premieres and at least as many Boston premieres; the groupÕs major source of funding has been eliminated for the coming season, and we are scrambling for the funds to put on a minimal season until the recession ends and more funding can be found. If you give $12, you will be considered a payer of a shareware fee and a rightful owner; if you give $25 or more, you will be listed on the groupÕs concert programs and you will receive another disk of fonts from me, as a premium. If you give $50, IÕll send you two disks of fonts; and if you give $12,000, the result will be unpredictable and incredibly joyous. Please make your check payable to Griffin Music Ensemble and mail it to Griffin Music Ensemble, 19 Chestnut Terrace, Newton Centre, MA 01259. You may make copies of GriffinDingbats for personal use and you may give copies away, providing no money changes hands and providing all the files in this archive are included, including the file you are reading. User groups and other nonprofit organizations may also distribute this font on disks for which they charge money, with the same conditions. Even commercial organizations that sell shareware disks may sell disks containing this font, providing the profit is not excessive and providing the obnoxious ŅPaying for this disk doesnÕt mean youÕve paid for the software on itÓ message appears on the disk label containing this software and providing the previously mentioned conditions are met. GriffinDingbats is another incredibly cute product from Insect Bytes, where the mosquitoes make up for in quantity what they lack in size, and where cockroaches have never set foot. In a manner of speaking. GEnie: RAKMAN Compuserve: 73240,3060 BITNET: rak@woof.columbia.edu
