Read MeÑLumparsky Type 1 Font

HereÕs another free display font I created with AltsysÕ Fontographer 3.1 that
I hope someone can use. ItÕs an ATM-compatible font that I named 
ÒLumparskyÓ in honor of my six-year-old daughter Emily (I sometimes 
torment her with the nickname ÒLumparskyÓ). 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 ÒLumparskyÓ at shift-option-tilde (~) doing what she does when 
I call her that name.

I donÕt 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. ThereÕs 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. IÕd also appreciate 
hearing comments from anyone who likes or dislikes my fonts. Thanks!
