A Mac font converted for use for Pcs with Windows 3.1 in TrueType format.
Thanks to input and requests by registered users of MarkerFeltThin and
MarkerFeltWide for a "finer"  version of the MarkerFelts......I created
MarkerFinePoint.  A Type 1 upper and lower case display font,
MarkerFinePoint makes typed messages look spontaneously hand lettered--
gives copy urging immediacy a casual, personal touch by looking hand
written with an fine-point felt marker. 

Use for eye-catching notices, ad display or to convey spontaneous, impulsive
 expression for a  "take notice" effect.  Instead of reaching for a trusted
 (hopefully capped) felt-tip pen loaded with permanent ink to scrawl
 impulsive messages, 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). Your font
should appear in the Installed  Fonts window. Close the dialog box. 
You shouldn't have to restart Windows. 

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.  Additional Option-keystroke special characters:
 legal symbols, en and em dashes, ellipses and several diacritical characters
 such as Ÿ Ž are included. 

Double quotes before and after are handled by used and often undiscovered
 built in keystrokes for making curly quotes instead of typewriter looking
 quotes (dumb quotes): Option-[ types a beginning double quote and
 Option-Shift-[ types an end double quote. Option-] types a single beginning
 quote and Option-Shift-] types an end single quote. Note: Many software
 programs now have the curly quotes stroke conversion automatically built
 into their program.

Try and ENJOY!.......then if you use it, honor the shareware fee of $12 and note
 if you're using Type 1 or TrueType. I'd also like to know where you
 downloaded/obtained the font: AOL, CompuServe, a MacUsers' Group or BBS,
 Shareware Disk or CD-Service, etc.  If you SHARE this font, please include
 all files and documents in one folder. I'm especially pleased with response
 from professional DTP users AND MacUser Groups and  BBS members. 

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, and I golf.  I enjoy receiving samples/copies of work in which
 my fonts are used (an ad, layout, poster, brochure, newsletter etc.).  I show
 the works to students -- they enjoy seeing what real people are really doing in the real world today with computers, DTPublishing and graphic design,
 especially on a Mac.

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!
