A Type 1 MacIntosh Postscript font (converted to PC TrueType for use
with Windows 3.1); an upper and lower case font, MarkerFeltThin makes
typed messages look as if they'd been spontaneously hand printed. 
MarkerFeltThin gives messages urging immediacy a casual, personal touch
by looking as if the copy was handwritten with a fine-point felt-tip
marker.

Use for eye-catching notices, ad display or to convey spontaneous,
impulsive expression. Use it for copy needing to convey messages of:
urgency, immediacy or "take notice." Instead of reaching for a trusted
(hopefully capped) felt-tip pen loaded with permanent ink to scrawl
impulsive messages, you now can reach for the keyboard and click away. 

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). The 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 00 and 99 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 2 which updates
the font with additional characters: legal symbols, Ellipses, em and en
dashes several diacritical characters and more.
Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use and enjoy, honor the shareware fee
of $10. If you SHARE this font, please include all files and documents
in one folder. Please indicate format (TT) etc.,  version number and where
you obtained/downloaded the file. 

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 also enjoy seeing copies, or
samples of work created with my fonts. I show them to students so
they can see what real people are doing in the DTP world today.

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!
