Read Me  Lumparsky Type 1 Font

Heres another free display font I created with Altsys'
Fontographer 3.1 that I hope someone can use. It's an 
ATM-compatible font that I named ``Lumparsky'' in honor of 
my six-year-old daughter Emily (I sometimes torment her with 
the nickname ``Lumparsky''). Lumparsky is an unusual bold 
forties-style hand-lettering typeface based on a partial 
font I found in an old lettering manual. This version has 
over a hundred kerning pairs and a little dingbat of 
``Lumparsky'' at shift-option-tilde (~) doing what she does 
when I call her that name.

I don't recommend using Lumparsky with a 300-dpi printer at 
any size smaller than 14 points, and even that may be 
pushing it. I think it looks best between 24 and 60 points 
for informal flyers and ads. The capitals also make nice 
drop caps with body texts of fussy serif fonts like Stempel 
Schneidler, Novarese, or Weiss. Theres only, as with my 
other fonts, a 24-point screen font included, since I assume 
you use Adobe Type Manager.

As always, this font is free. Users groups are welcome to 
distribute it as long as everything in the Lumparsky folder 
is kept together, but anyone else who sells 
freeware/shareware disks and distributes it must also send 
me free copies of any disks (floppy, CD ROM, etc.) it 
appears on. I'd also appreciate hearing comments from anyone 
who likes or dislikes my fonts. Thanks!
