###  This is free, I hope it's useful. <br />
###  There are some special characters in this typeface that I've often wished the standard typefaces had. Normally if you hold down [CONTROL] [ALT] and then press the 5 vowels, you get the vowels with an acute accent over them (as in French) and if you hold [CONTROL] [ALT][SHIFT]  and the vowels, you'll get them Upper Case with an acute accent. (Actually I'm not sure if this is a world-wide standard but that's what happens to me in England). In these fonts you should still get the acute accents with LOWER case but with UPPER case, using [CONTROL] [ALT][SHIFT]  instead of the capital vowels with acute accents you'll get:<br />
# a #  a single character that prints an s and t above a dot (as you'd use in 1st.) <br />
# e #  a single character that prints an n and d above a dot (as you'd use in 2nd.) <br />
# i #   and then "rd." (3rd.)   <br />
# o #  then "th."  (4th.)  <br />
# u #  and o above a dot (as you'd use in "no.")  <br />
<br />
<br />
###  If you should find a use for any of these fonts I'd appreciate it if you'd e-mail me at <br />
gort @ callnetuk . com  <br />
and let me know that you did find a good use for it.  I have lots of other things I'd like to do,  and I'm only going to feel inspired to spend time making other fonts if I know they're going to get used.  <br />
<br />
###  You may not sell the font or typeface, or include it as part of any commercial venture.<br />
<br />
###  And for those that are interested in these things . . .<br />
This is a fair representation of my actual handwriting, as friends have told me when I've shown them a print-out.<br />
I used an italic-nibbed fountain pen, wrote all the letters on shiny card so the ink didn't get absorbed into the paper, then scanned it all, and put each letter in as a bitmap to create the font.  I'm sure there must be an easier way . . . <br />
<br />
And lastly . .<br />
If you have a problem in that loads of obsolete fonts show in the font-menu in Wordpad or a graphics program, and you KNOW you removed them from your Windows\Fonts folder, but they still show and you want to get rid of them from that long list, try this.<br />
Go to Start Menu >  Run > regedit (type it in) > OK > (this takes you to the Registry Editor)<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (expand it by clicking the little plus sign) > Software (expand it ) > Microsoft (expand it ) > Windows (expand it ) > Current Version (expand it ) > Fonts (select it) and then delete the fonts you know are no longer there. When you next boot up, they'll be gone from the long list you pull down.<br />
