		non-proportional/mono-spaced font for Calamus


Quick - what do Ronald Regan, Nancy Regan and an old, manual 
		Olympia typewriter have in common?

		No colon, no period & no memory!


(Sorry Ron.....)






Olympia is a font that I did for a particular job that I had to match 
the font on.  By the time I had completed it, I had both missed the 
deadline (and had to use another font) and didn't like it.  I dropped 
it onto a floppy and threw it into a box with 400 other floppies who's
contents I can't remember.  

I am NOT a font writer.  I'm reasonably good at taking an existing 
font and making minor alterations to fit a particular job.  But write 
a font?  Hah!!!  This was my one and only effort at doing one from 
scratch.  I only did this one because I get into these moods where I 
tell clients "If it can be done on a computer, I can do it on my ST." 
Usually I can - sometimes I can almost...  and they end up in the 
floppy box.

Anyway, time passed and people were asking for a mono-spaced font.  I 
had just received a copy of TypeCad from Gregg Rodgers, business was 
slow so I took TypeCad for a test drive.  I traced where I had to 
trace, I linked where I had to link & I kerned everywhere....  Ta da, 
Olympia, a mono-spaced, Outline Art friendly font.  Not the best, but 
it'll do.

There are very few extended characters.  I didn't need them, so I 
didn't do them.  I debated about moving the extended characters that 
there are up to behind the normal character set, for easy access, but 
decided to leave them in the slots where they belong.  When you flip 
through the font overview table, the section symbol is the last 
character I've included.

I was going to name this font "Not Quite Ready For Prime Time", but 
it wouldn't fit into the name section.  If you want to improve the 
font, please do, and upload the improved font.  If you want to use it 
as is, feel free.  If you want to trash it - well, you just wasted 
your money on the download.
