Astrology Typeface by "Laser Printing Solutions" Date: 4/22/00 The enclosed ASTRO font has been specifically designed for use with Astrology programs. It is the same original Astro font produced by Kenneth Hirst, but with two additional glyphs--chiron and lilith (Dark Moon). This font can also be used within published documents, graphics programs, etc. Launch Windows Write and print out ASTRO.WRI for symbol explanation. If you are NOT using a font utility to select "font groups," then to install the TrueType font, simply launch Windows, open the Control Panel, select Fonts, then File | Install New Font, and choose Astro from the correct directory. Once installed, print out the ASTRO.WRI file for symbol location/name. Note: If you have already installed an Astro font into your system, I recommend that you remove it. Back up the old font file if necessary and delete it from the system using the Control Panel. Otherwise, you may experience some difficulty (see printing.txt for troubleshooting). You must have Adobe Type Manager (ATM) to install the PostScript version of this font (ASTRO___.PFB) in Windows. If you obtained the font Astro-SemiBold from a BBS or the net, and looks similar to this font, it is an improper conversion of my font and is likely to cause printing problems and system crashes due to the nature of its poor conversion. If you know of such a font being distributed on the net, please advise me. Although submitted as shareware, this font is *not* to be financially distributed (or placed on any disk, or BBS for which a charge is made) *without* permission of the author. It is yours to use and enjoy for 30 days, but at the end of that time, if you are still using this font you are morally obligated to send in the shareware fee which is $.6.00 If you require the extended ASTRO font that includes Asteroids and zodiacal pictographs, send $12.50. Checks should be made payable to: Kenneth Hirst P.O. Box 5362, Irvine CA 92616-5362, USA As of 4/22/00, I have the following highly specialized fonts available: Font Shareware Fee Full Version Fee ---- ------------- ----------------- Astro $6.00 $12.50 full=Extended version Alchemy $6.00 $16.00 full=Extended version American Indian $11.50 $11.50 full is same as shareware Sequoyah $12.50 $12.50 Cherokee language font Arabic N/A $16.00 Arabic, Farsi, Urdu chars Flowchart $15.00 $15.00 Special Pi N/A $12.50 Circle Bullets N/A $10.00 Arrow Bullets N/A $10.00 All disks shipped contain the latest shareware fonts. Note that the full version fee includes extended characters not avilable in the shareware versions (except American Indian). All TrueType fonts are compiled for optimal utilization on PC systems. Many less expensive fonts are simply scanned images that have not been optimally hand tuned, so please do not commercially exploit this font. If you feel that other glyphs should be generated for additional fonts, please let me know. Laser Printing Solutions also creates custom fonts, logos and signatures for individuals and organizations.
