IF YOU LIKE THIS FONT THEN PLEASE SUPPORT IT BY PAYING THE SHAREWARE FEE 12/9/94 ABOUT RAILROAD ROMAN 1.1 FONT: A Roman font in the style of classic railroad lettering. This font was primarily designed for model railroaders; however, it turned out to be an attractive title case for almost any document (all of the rooms in my building at school are lettered in a variation of this typeface). After being dissatisfied with the spacing of the original version, I have added a "Document" Railroad Roman that is intended for the few folks out there who don't have model railroads. WHAT IS THIS FONT AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM? This font is my first true alphabet font. This is also the first font that I had no intention of making. When I first released my picture fonts a lot of people on the net asked if they were Railroad Roman. At that point, I had no idea what Railroad Roman was... well, I knew, but not by name. It was clear that there was a demand for a Railroad Roman font. I was curious and kept asking people to send me a sample. A number of folks said they would get me a sample, but Larry Rose finally came through for me (he has hand lettered a number of restored cars down in southern California). Like my first three fonts, I made this font because I have a love of railroading. If there proves to be a demand for this font, I will continue to work on it and improve it. Two improvements come to mind right away, kerning and the addition of small "wiggles" to make it look a little more like hand painted lettering. What is that train doing on the MAP sheet? That is a sample from RailFreight. I wanted to put in a couple of toys for those of you who don't have my whole font collection. NEW WITH VERSION 1.1: I didn't change the original Railroad Roman, but I added a second version for those of us who aren't making decals and just want to use Railroad Roman in documents. I have also revised the documentation. Added .AFM files for OS/2 and Unix users. INCLUDED FILES: "README_R.WRI", "README_R.TXT", "RRR_MAP.WRI", "DRRR_MAP.WRI", "RR_ROMAN.PFB", "RR_ROMAN.PFM", "RR_ROMAN.AFM", "RR_ROMAN.TTF", "DRRROMAN.TTF", "DRRROMAN.TTF", "DRRROMAN.TTF", and "DRRROMAN.TTF".
