Short: Attractive replacement for XHelvetica! Author: kj-purcell@wpg.uwe.ac.uk (Kevin Purcell) Uploader: kj-purcell@wpg.uwe.ac.uk (Kevin Purcell) Type: text/font ******************************* * * * GrayHaze Font * * * * 20/1/97 * * * ******************************* by Kevin Purcell This is my own font which I have drawn from scratch with the purpose of creating a very readable screen font which is both attractive and easy to read. The idea for creating such a font came about as a result of my frustration with similar fonts such as XHelvetica (as supplied with the MagicWB package, and now generally accepted as THE Amiga font... *sigh*). If you want to use the Haze font: 1. Copy the 'Haze' directory and the 'Haze.font' file to your FONTS: directory. 2. Using the Font Prefs, select 'Haze' as your screen font. The point size of the font is 11, so any programs you have set up to work with the 11 point XHelvetica font should also work fine with Haze. 3. Re-boot the system and be impressed! (Note: If you have the MCP commodity running on your system and have the 'CacheFont' option enabled, remember to update the font list using MCPPrefs. If you don't do this, the font will not be recognised!) -------------------------------------------------- The Haze font was created using the Typeface font editor. Some ideas were taken from other fonts, but ALL characters were drawn from scratch. -------------------------------------------------- If you decide to adopt this font, care for it, treasure it, and E-mail me with your comments or suggestions at: kj-purcell@wpg.uwe.ac.uk For more information about other Gray Haze productions, go to the GrayHaze˛ pages at: http://members.tripod.com/~GH/ -------------------------------------------------- Other Gray Haze productions include: - GHUrou - A stylish collection of UrouHack images.
