Notes on LORVADª  (formerly Printers Devil) fonts:
     Judas is a display font patterned on Adobe wood type Ironwood.  It 
     contains only caps, numbers, and a few special characters.  It seems to 
     look best at 16 points or larger.  Very interesting negative space  It is 
     shareware-$10 (or thirty silver dollars if you want us to feel guilty).
     LORVAD fonts include: Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Oswald Grey, 
     BlackForest, InkaBod, CartWright, Judas, Albatross, and Dedalus 
     These fonts are NOT demos.  They contain all the regular alphanumeric 
     characters. Most contain an assortment of special characters.  Fonts 
     contain ÒhintingÓ; usually over one hundred kerning pairs are defined. 
     AFM files are included.  Bodidly Bold, Oswald Black, Blackforest, Inkabod, 
     CartWright, Judas, Albatross, and Dedalus are type 1 PostScript fonts and 
     may also be used with ATM on non-PostScript printers. Oswald Grey , a 
     type 3 font, may only be used on PostScript printers.  It has an 80% grey 
     fill with a black border.   Bodidly Bold and Oswald Black look great in 
     small or large sizes.  IÕd recommend using Oswald Grey at 24 points or 
     larger.  BlackForest and Inkabod are designed without any curves.  With 
     one or two exceptions all angles are multiples of 45 degrees.  BlackForest 
     has an old world German feel.  It seems to look best about 24 points.  
     InkaBod is based on the bitmapped font Nordic. On the LaserWriter it looks
     great at 14 points and above.  On the ImageWriter, try it at 18 points and 
     larger.  CartWright is inspired by the Adobe wood type Ponderosa font.  It 
     contains only the basic 90+ characters.  The bitmap screenfonts are just 
     your basic Fontographer-generated characters with minimal touchup.  
     With ATM on the market IÕd rather spend my time polishing up the 
     PostScript file than slaving over an archaic bitmap screenfont.
     LORVADª fonts are distributed in the spirit of shareware.  Try them out 
     for a month.  If you decide to keep any of these fonts you are required 
     to send a $10 per font registration fee to:
          LORVAD
          PoBox 1828
          Easton Md 21601

Please indicate what font(s) you are registering.  Maryland residents should 
include 5% sales tax.

     These products may be distributed freely as long as the following 
     conditions are met: The files may not be modified and this notice must be 
     included with each font or group of LORVADª fonts; Fonts may be 
     included on collections of Public Domain and Shareware disks providing 
     that no more than $10 is charged for the disk.  Distribution by electronic 
     BBS is allowed.

     If you paid for a disk with any of these fonts you are still required to send in your registration fee if you decide to keep them.

The Bottom Line:  We will continue to release laser fonts in a non-crippled format as long as there is a fair response to the registration fee.
