A Typeface by "Laser Printing Solutions"                 Date: 4/22/94

The enclosed shareware ALCHEMY font is designed to work with Windows
3.1. It contains just under half of the characters that one would
normally have in a Windows set.

If you are NOT using a font utility to select "font groups," then to
install the TrueType font, simply launch Windows, open the Control
Panel, select Fonts, then Add, and choose Alchemy from the correct
directory. Print out the ALCHEM.WRI file for symbol explanation.

The extended set contains elements and other materials used by
alchemists such as filter, test tube, bismuth, clay, honey, nitric
acid, salt, sand, sugar, etc., some in different variants. Because
there are so many variants for Alchemical symbols, I do plan to produce
another font with 200 odd symbols.

Although submitted as shareware, it is *not* to be financially 
distributed (or placed on any disk, or BBS for which a charge is made) 
*without* permission of the author. It is yours to use and enjoy for 30 
days, but at the end of that time, if you are still using this font you 
are morally obligated to send in the shareware fee which is $6.00. 
If you want to obtain the extended set or use this font commercially, 
write to:

     P.O. Box 5362,  Irvine  CA  92616-5362,  USA

Send $16 U.S. to receive the extended set, or $6.00 just to register.
Checks should be made payable to: Kenneth Hirst

By registering, I can inform you of updates and new releases. Many less
expensive fonts are simply scanned images that have not been optimally
hand tuned, so please do not commercially exploit this font.
