What is a font?

Fonts are used everyday by everyone in many different aspects.
Advertisers, sign shops, printers, and desktop publishers all depend
on a large variety of fonts in their jobs.  Many companies use
them to bring emphasis to notices.  A few ideas for the usage of
fonts are: newsletters, reports, statements, presentations,
graphic design, catalogs, announcements, and invitations. There is no
limit to the many uses a font can have.
                                  
To use this CD to it's potential and increase your understanding
of how fonts work with one another, take some time to look at
advertisements and literature, notice how there are several
different fonts on a page as well as how different variations of each
font are used to add emphasis.  Be creative and have fun, soon 2000
fonts just won't seem like enough!

A condensed font is used when there is less space available for
use. The height of the font is the same as a normal font.

The bold font is used when words or statements require that they
stand out, the font size is a little bit larger than normal fonts,
but they can be used with normal fonts with no great noticable
difference in size.

The thin font is used when very little room is available.  The
height of the font is still the same as the normal font.

The lefty font was designed to stand out, to give a greater
variation in style. Fantazia Concepts designed this concept for
the fonts on this CD.  Any font of this variation is
Copyright (c) 1994 by Fantazia Concepts and may not be
redistributed or copied in any way.

The italic font adds a classy look, it can be used on an entire document
or an individual word to give emphasis.

Hollow fonts enable a mass variation in usage, they can be filled
in with color or left alone to add an eyecatching format to any
project.

Normal, Roman and Caps are named to distinguish between various
styles of the fonts.  Normal fonts are generally used in most of
the text, while Caps are basically used when only capital letters
are required, generally caps only fonts are more elaborate and
sometimes used as a first letter of a passage.

Included in the CD are dingbats. There are many uses for them,
the only limit you have is that of an imagination.  Use them as
borders, notation symbols, to bring emphasis, to add a small
picture to a paper, or enlarge and use as a focus point.

Most fonts have extended characters in them. Some software
supports extended characters. Read through your manuals to see if
you can use the extended characters. If the program can not support them,
and you have an interest in using them please contact your
closest software store for assistance in finding a program that will.
