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   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!
