CHANNELS is a specialized font, useful for anyone involved in printing TV
listings on a regular basis. In addition to containing a very readable
condensed font, it includes symbols similar to those you would find on most
TV-listings pages in your daily newspaper. I had to rearrange a few keys to
accommodate the cable listings the ampersand (&), exclamation mark (!),
bullet () and dollar sign ($) characters. I hope this doesnt cause any
severe problems.
I tried to include most popular cable stations, including the new SciFi and
Cartoon Networks. If I have omitted any important stations, my apologies.
Please drop me E-Mail and I will try to include them in a possible future
update.
I would welcome your suggestions/comments concerning this font. If you use
this font on a professional level (i.e., in material that is distributed
for profit), a shareware fee of $14.95 per copy is requested. You may
distribute or upload this file to other bulletin boards providing this
README file is included.
Comments, suggestions and/or shareware fees can be sent to:
