a tip of the hat to you and yours,
and thank you for downloading the evaluation version of "gifford,"
a windows95 truetype font
handcrafted in the emerald city, seattle, washington,
by steven j. lundeen,
emerald city fontwerks,
copyright 1997.

------

for mr. israel, miss ecklund, miss perkins,
and even the old meanie, miss dohner ...
are you proud of what you see?

------

please note,
this is an evaluation version of "gifford."

so stay after school,
head on up to the blackboard,
grab a piece of chalk,
and have a go at the following phrase:

"i will not talk in class"

say, 500 times or so.
(it'll really help improve your penmanship...or so i was told)

then,
should you wish to receive a diskette that includes
a fully enabled version of "gifford,"
please send $5.00 US
(along with a return mailing address) to:

seattle, wa 98105
