Translated from the Mac Font. The following is documenation from the
original font for the Mac.

Hi! This is version 1.1 of Walrod Initials, a new shareware font brought to
you by Penguin Productions. It is a fairly accurate knockoff of Geometrica,
a font originally released in 1985 by Autologic from artwork prepared by
Jeffrey G. Level and Bruce Frame. It contains only 26 initial caps -- there
are no accompanying lower case letters or lining figures. Geometrica, and
its two sister fonts Champ Fleury and Melencolia, are stylized renderings
of the work of 16th century artists Geofroy Tory and Albrecht Drer. Both
wrote treatises outlining the procedure for the geometric construction of
Roman capitals. Each envisioned the capital letter surrounded by a box that
contained circles, arcs and bisecting lines which follow rigid constraints.
Dover publishes a $4 edition that highlights Drer's discussion on capitals
called "Of the Just Shaping of Letters." Tory's work, "Champ Fleury," is
more difficult to find (I've only seen excerpts, not a full English
translation). I highly recommend the Dover book for anyone interested in
gaining an insight to the forms of capital letters. The volume is very
popular among calligraphers. Technically, this font was rendered on the
Mac using Altsys' Fontographer 3.5 font editor. It is originally released
as a PostScript Type 1 font (although Mac TrueType and comparable IBM
versions will probably soon follow). Each capital is type high, meaning
they are EXACTLY equal to the font size called (in 12-pt. type, the font
letters will render 12 points high, in 72-pt., they'll be 72 points high,
etc.). This may cause a problem for some applications that expect a font
to have a descender. Those applications may render the font on the screen
a little squashed, but it should print out fine. If not, please drop me a
message and I'll reduce the cap height. The font has an Adobe UniqueID
number of 5013601 (which has been registered with Adobe, so there should be
no font caching conflict). The NFNT number used is 3060. As always, that is
in the busy shareware zone and could result in a font conflict with other
shareware/freeware fonts. It should not conflict with any commercially
released font. The paths used in this font are complex and push the boundary
of the Type 1 font format. I have successfully imaged the font at 200-pt.
at 1270 dpi on a Linotype RIP 40. I make no guarantees, however. Remember --
just because it images off your laser printer, don't assume it'll run at
high resolution, especially if you're going up in size. Print a test before
you go on deadline. The higher the output resolution and the bigger the
size, the more problematic the file could become. Files included in this
upload are:

This font is my gift back to those who so
frequently help me in my struggle to set decent type in a PostScript
environment (such as Brad Walrod, for whom the font is named).  The
following restrictions apply: this font can be uploaded onto any MUG
bulletin board and included in any MUG CD-ROM collection or MUG-authorized
font disc collection. It must include all files, including this READ.ME
message. It is NOT to be included on shareware collections sold for profit.
I  dislike seeing my work lumped in with sales pitches that promise
"Over 200 megs of fonts!" On CompuServe, Walrod Initials is available on
the DTPFORUM exclusively. It is also available in New York on a great
little BBS called Laserboard. Other bulletin boards wishing to upload the
font should contact me for permission. I don't have a huge legal staff,
but please respect my wishes. This font is intended to be shared among
the telecommunicating typesetting community -- primarily those who also
give, either of their programming or design talents, their knowledge or
simply their understanding and sympathy that one may encounter a production
problem that might not yet have a solution on the desktop. Walrod Initials
is released in memory of Glenn Rodgers, an apprentice typographer at
Characters Graphic Services, Inc., who died tragically in 1992. He is
sorely missed. Notification of any problems with the font or requests for
its upload on other bulletin boards can be made to: Jonathan Hodges

Revision history:version 1.1 corrected four character so all characters
have the same width and the same right sidebar. It also changed the
bitmap from 24-pt. to 23-pt., since 24-pt. is a popular drop cap size and
ATM renders the font at 24-pt. Better than the untouched Fontographer bitmap.
