A Typeface by "Laser Printing Solutions" Date: 7/7/04 The enclosed shareware ALCHEMY font is designed to work with Windows. It contains just under half of the characters that one would normally have in a Windows (8-bit) set. If you are NOT using a font utility to select "font groups," then to install the TrueType font, simply launch Windows, open the Control Panel, select Fonts, then File | Install New Font, and choose Alchemy from the correct drive and directory. Once installed, print out the ALCHEM.RTF file for symbol location/name. Note that you will not be able to embed the ALCHEMY font into a document. Legally, you will need to purchase the font to do this. Also note that if the font is used commercially, a license is required. The extended set contains elements and other materials used by alchemists such as filter, test tube, bismuth, clay, honey, nitric acid, salt, sand, sugar, etc., some in different variants. Because there are so many variants for Alchemical symbols, I do plan to produce another font with 200 odd symbols. Although submitted as shareware, it is *not* to be financially distributed (or placed on any disk, or BBS for which a charge is made) *without* permission of the author. It is yours to use and enjoy for 30 days, but at the end of that time, if you are still using this font you are morally obligated to send in the shareware fee which is $6.00. If you want to obtain the extended set or use this font commercially, send an e-mail or call using the information at the end of this text. Placement of this and any of my fonts on a website for download must provide an acknowledgement that Kenneth Hirst is the designer of the font and list my websites (listed below). $15 U.S. to receive the extended set, or $6.00 just to register. I have a secure web page that can take paypal or a credit card at: http://www.radioastrology.com/FCart.htm By registering, I can inform you of updates and new releases. Many less expensive fonts are simply scanned images that have not been optimally hand tuned, so please do not commercially exploit this font. As of January 2000 the following fonts have been released: Font Shareware Fee Full Version Fee ---- ------------- ----------------- Astro $6.00 $12.50 full=Extended version Alchemy $6.00 $15.00 full=Extended version American Indian $11.50 $11.50 full is same as shareware Sequoyah $12.50 $12.50 full is same as shareware GD_Enochian $15.00 $15.00 Enochian glyphs & some Astro Arabic $15.00 $15.00 Arabic, Farsi, Urdu chars Flowchart $15.00 $15.00 Special Pi N/A $12.50 Circle Bullets N/A $10.00 Arrow Bullets N/A $10.00 All TrueType fonts are compiled for optimal utilization on PC systems.
