In what might be called an evolutionary process, here is the font Heidelberg 89. It is what I consider to be a refinement to MacHumaine, though it is conceivable others may prefer the previous version. 

It is my feeling that Heidelberg is more truly a calligraphic style font than MacHumaine, with its more severe strokes and sharper angles. I have used it for certificates commercially and have had good comments only. I know there is a school of thought which believbes it is improper to create a font that simulates actual pen or quill hand writing. For those who believe that, I offer you ten times your money back!

Yes, Heidelberg 89 is now public domain. It was never anything else, but I had visions of marketing it at one time. I have decided that it is, rather, a logical extension of the story of Philo, Fancy Chancery, Black Chancery, etc. and should not be for sale. So, enjoy. 

The Fontographer file is enclosed for those who have Fontographer and wish to alter the font in any way. I would request that you change the name if you do alter it. Any comments are welcome to:

The fee for this typeface is $15 as is, check or money order(preferred).
Or send $20 and a disk and a list of the sizes of the bitmaps you would like to have and I will try to oblige (within reason...like, don't ask for 127 point,etc...).  Also, I can include (and probably will anyway) varying spaces to help you set your own type.  I like very close spacing, but if you like to spread out your type, then this will be available from within the font itself.  This capability will be for those people who don't have all the fancy new software that will do manual kerning, etc. (available only to registered owners). [proposed spacing - units based on selected point size - 1,1/2,1/4,1/8,1/16,1/32,1/64 and maybe smaller]

Hello Font Lover,

Previously, I had become very discouraged by distributing my work on CompuServe.  A couple of bad experiences made it difficult for me to
continue.  However, recently I have received some recognition (Thank you Richard Eckhardt), and it has made me rethink my position.

The economy is bad in Louisiana and I am not doing well.  You may have noticed the address change.  I cannot afford the time on CompuServe except for uploading.  Also, my troubles are your gain for neither can I afford to do any other kind of marketing for my work other than ShareWare (they would cost at least twice as much or more).  And just having me "sit on these faces" (pun intended) is not doing any good for myself or anyone else.  

My first uploads to CompuServe were rather primitive attempts.  I think 
now you will find that I am capable of good - excellent quality alter-
natives to the "higher priced spreads".

I will assume you know what to do with this typeface.
   (use Font/DA Mover 3.2 or higher, don't let Font/DA Mover change the
    font id, etc...)
            .........if you don't know how to work these, call!!! (not collect)
            .........if you can't call, write (like I said, I can't afford CIS)

There is only one size bitmap with this typeface (I'm trying to keep my long distance and your download charges to a minimum).  And there is a good chance
that it is not very clean (some of them are however, and even print fairly well on ImageWriter - besides, LaserWriter doesn't care what the bitmaps look like - you can use geneva first, then switch to this face before printing).  It will however, automatically download to any PostScript Device i.e. LaserWriter, Linotronic, or any of the new PostScript printers that are accessed by AppleTalk.  (Versions of this typeface can be prepared for manual downloading as a text only file for non-Macintosh computers if the need should arise.)

If you should happen to investigate any of the other typefaces I've uploaded
you will probably discover that this is a form letter tacked on to every one 
of them.  You can skip reading the others, however, the ShareWare fee remains.


                          PLEASE PAY ME...
	                        
                                  Thank you.

P.S. If you are curious as to what happened to Calligraphic, I had to shelve it.  It doesn't work with the newer LaserWriter software.  The new Fontographer software was supposed to fix the problems.  The recompiled Calligraphic worked with the new LW software but the decorative letters don't print properly (they turn out with black letters on the background, and they are supposed to be white - I haven't been able to fix it - maybe with the next release of Fontographer).  Furthermore, it would only work if ZapfChancery was available, which leaves out regular LW users.

ToyBlockSampler

A Free Typeface

Welcome to ToyBlock Sampler, a free typeface designed for your Macintosh and postscript printer.  This typeface has samples of six fonts which I am selling for a small fee.  I hope you find it useful and interesting, but if you do not, remember that it is mostly meant as a way of letting you know about some typefaces which are much nicer than this one.
 On the upper case letters are letters for the font Swanville, Glitzy, and Sansville.  Swanville was developed originally as part of a typeface called ChooChooOne, which has little train cars with the letters on it.  I wanted a very bold style letter with a little serif on it that was reminiscent of passenger cars in the 19th century.  A sample of ChooChooOne and ChooChooTwo can be seen on some of the punctuation keys. These two fonts are among the strangest typefaces you will find.
Glitzy is my variation of a very popular Art Deco style. I have seen a dozen or so variations on this style, and here is another. 
Sansville resulted when I took the serif off Swanville and then cleaned up the letters. It is a very bold font, and if you do not have a font like it in your collection (some very nice ones are available form Adobe, but they are also quite expensive), you will find this one very useful.
 On the lower case letters are letters from two typefaces that have a 19th-century, Victorian style. From a to m the letters are from Saloon, and from n to z they are from Valenteena.  
Finally, on a few of the punctuation keys are blocks with items from a font of dingbats and borders. It has leaves, clocks, various types of stars, and much more.
All of these fonts are display fonts, which means they are not meant for large blocks of text but for headlines, posters, etc. All have only upper case letters. Rather than simply repeat the upper case letters on the lower case keys, I have put condensed versions or smaller versions of the letters on some of them. On others the lower case letters are identical to the upper case letters. However, in cases where I have set some pairwise kerning, I have usually spent more time with the upper case set of letters. (Most of the typefaces have some kerning built in. Page layout programs such as Pagemaker can use use it, but usually word processor programs can not.)
As for ToyBlockSampler, there are some special effects on the option number keys. To put a top and a left side on a block, type Option 2, option 1, and the letter. To put a top and a right side on a block, type option 3, letter, option 4.  Also, the space bar will give you an empty block on the printer (which will not show on your screen), and if you really want an empty space, use the number key (the thing above the 3).
If you do not know how to install this font, the directions are quite simple. First, you should understand that the Macintosh uses two fonts, one for the screen and another for the printer. The screen font (or bit-mapped font) is in the little suitcase. You need the Font-DA mover, which Apple provided with your computer, to move this. If you have this program on your disk, double click on the suitcase named ToyBlockSampler. This will open it up on one side of a screen. On the other side you must open up the system in your system file, and when you do so, you will see a list of fonts presently installed in your system. Click on the name of ToyBlockSampler, and they click on copy.  When the name ToyBlock Sampler appears with the other fonts installed on your system, the screen font has been successfully installed.
To install the printer font, simply drag the icon that looks like a printer and which is named ToyBloSam into the system folder. You must have a postscript printer in order to use this. If you try to print on a dot-matrix printer, you will print the screen font, and the results will be disappointing. 
After you take a look at the letters on the toy blocks, I am sure you will be eager to know how to get these typefaces illustrated there and described here. They are available as volumes two and three of my typeface offerings. Both contain six fonts.  Volume Two includes the following: Sansville, SansvilleBold, (which is really an extended version of Sansville), Swanville, Glitzy, Dingville, and ChooChooOne. Volume Two includes Saloon, SaloonExtended, SaloonFrilled (which adds interior decoration to Saloon), Valenteena, ValenteenaStarved, (a narrow version of Valenteena) and ChooChooTwo (which has letters from Saloon on boxcars--a truly weird and wonderful typeface).
Volumes 2 and 3 are available for the low price of $25.00 each. (Volume One is still available for $15.00, and is illustrated on the public domain font called StalingraDemo. It includes Zirkle, Bouncer, Dinner, and Stalingrad, and several variations of these. The price has gone up because I think the fonts in volumes 2 and 3 are better than those in 1. On  the other hand, I cannot raise price too much because most people have limited uses for display fonts.) All three volumes are available for very reasonable price of $55.00.  Send your money to:

Also, be sure to share ToyBlockSampler with all your computer friends who have access to a postscript printer, and  be especially sure that you include this documentation with it.

P.S. If you have any questions, you may write me at the above address,  but if you want a response, you must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope (or money with an order).
