French Grotesque
                          -----------------------
                    Released as shareware in June 1997.

     "Grotesque" is one of the most misused words in typography. In
     this case, it has its normal, non-typographic meaning, as French
     Grotesque is roughly based on a series described simply as
     "lettres grotesques" (grotesque letters) shown in a specimen
     sheet issued by the Deberny foundry in Paris in 1910. Deberny
     produced the series as outline and fill fonts for two-colour
     printing in 18 pt., 24 pt. and 36 pt. sizes. A hollow version,
     similar to the outline but with no fill, was available in 10, 12,
     18, 24 and 36 points.

     The specimen sheet shows only a few words in each size. In most
     cases I have followed the design of the letters shown, and I have
     added missing letters and a full Adobe Standard character set.
     Two pairs of ornaments shown in the specimen sheet are in the [ ]
     and { } positions.

     French Grotesque was drawn in Fontographer 3.5 on a Windows
     computer, and FontLab 2.5 was used extensively in correcting and
     refining the font. The Macintosh versions were generated with
     Fontographer 4.0.4.

     I am releasing this font as shareware and asking for a
     registration fee of $15 (Canadian dollars for Canadian users;
     U.S. dollars or the equivalent of US$15 in local currency for
     users outside Canada).

     Registered users will receive a receipt and notice of any new
     versions or fonts that I release. For Canadian users, the price
     includes GST and, in Quebec, QST.

     Please send your registration fee in the form of a Canadian
     cheque or an international money order, with your name and return
     address, to:
