ABOUT THE PASSENGER 2.0 FONT: 
	This font is a virtual railroad for your printer.  YOU WILL NEED A 
HIGH RESOLUTION PRINTER TO TRULY APPRECIATE THIS FONT.  The screen image 
isn't the best, but load up the PostScript font and PRINT OUT A COPY OF 
"PSNGR_MAP.WRI" to see all the living detail in full heart stopping 
color (well, I get carried away, but you get the idea).  Now you can add 
the finest passenger trains to your documents. 
 
	There are three different locomotives and fourteen passenger cars.  
Each locomotive and car is assigned to a different key.  For each 
character, lower case corresponds to facing leftward and upper case 
corresponds to facing rightward.  In some cases, this is a small 
distinction, but, it is included for completeness.  After loading the 
font, you should print out a copy of "PSNGR_MAP.WRI" for a sample of the 
font and to see which characters map to which keys. 
	My logic for assigning the characters was to put the locomotives 
in the upper left corner of the keyboard.  Along the middle row, I put 
the passenger cars from left to right in roughly the order you might 
find them in a train.  Note that no train would have all of the cars and 
most trains would have had several cars of certain classes.  But make 
what you like.  In the bottom left, I put the observation cars (end 
cars), you have four to choose from.  There is also a "Whoosh!" or speed 
line effect that is demonstrated in the legend file. 
	Many of the cars were done from memory and are not exact replicas 
of real passenger cars.  They are close though.  I showed the font to a 
friend and about all he said was, "All full domes had three axle 
trucks."  I will fix that as soon as I get around to drawing up some 
three axle trucks (needless to say, this was a complement coming from 
him). 
	I took inspiration from equipment that I am familiar with and from 
some of my favorite railroads.  On the first page of the MAP file, the 
train at the top is roughly the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha and the train at 
the bottom is roughly the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Twin Zephyr. 
 
 
IN THE EVENT YOU ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE MAP FILE, THIS FONT USES THE 
FOLLOWING KEYS FOR VARIOUS LOCOMOTIVE, CARS AND EFFECTS: 
q, Q, w, W, e, E, a, A, s, S, d, D, f, F, g, G, h, j, J, k, K, l, L, z, 
Z, x, X, c, C, v, V, ',', <, '.', > 
 
 
GENERIC README (Similar in all of my fonts): 
 
IMPORTANT STUFF: 
 
SOME CHARACTERS MAY BE TOO DETAILED TO SHOW ON THE SCREEN and will 
appear as empty boxes.  They should print okay though. 
 
DO NOT INSTALL THE POST SCRIPT and TRUE TYPE VERSIONS AT THE SAME TIME 
 
THE TRUE TYPE FONT MAY NOT WORK ON ALL SYSTEMS, THE POST SCRIPT FONT IS 
PREFERED. 
 
 
ABOUT THE IBM VERSIONS: 
	Yeah, I am a Mac head.  I am slowly learning all I can about the 
IBM systems.  I am also enlisting the help of my IBM friends as 
"consultants".  This might be a bumpy road at first, but these fonts are 
pretty neat and they are worth the trek.  From my end, I am more than 
willing to work with you to get the fonts to work on your machine.  On 
your end, I ask for patience if they don't work on the first try.  
Please let me know ASAP if you are having any problems.  I am willing to 
do minor changes or generate bit map files for DOS users as much as my 
time will permit.  Let me know what you want or need and we'll work 
something out. 
 
TRUE TYPE VS. POST SCRIPT: 
	On some machines, not all characters of the True Type font will be 
visible.  Please don't lose heart, they are there and should print okay, 
it is just the fact that there are so many points in the character that 
windows decided you don't really need to see it.  I will try to fix this 
in later versions.  If the True Type font gives you problems, try the 
Post Script version, it seems to be a little more stable.  Note that the 
contents of both fonts are the same. 
 
 
HOW TO INSTALL THE POST SCRIPT TRAIN FONT ONTO YOUR SYSTEM: 
	You will need WINDOWS 3.0 or later and the ADOBE TYPE MANAGER 
(ATM) version 2.0 or later. 
1) Start the ATM control panel by double clicking on it. 
2) Click the Add button 
3) Locate the drive/directory containing your fonts using the scroll 
bars 
4) Double click on the drive/directory to show the names of the fonts on 
the disk 
5) Select the fonts to install 
6) Click the Add button 
7) Exit ATM (you may have to restart windows to use the fonts, depending 
on the version of ATM you have) 
 
 
	IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES installing this font or it doesn't seem to 
print out correctly, PLEASE LET ME KNOW as soon as possible.  I can 
either give you more specific instillation information or go and fix the 
bug.  (e-mail is great for this, but snail mail works fine too) 
 
 
NOW FOR THE "ASKING FOR MONEY" BIT, AKA, THIS IS SHAREWARE: 
	You are free to use (play with, throw at the cat, etc.) this font 
for one week after receiving it.  If you like it and decide to keep it, 
you should send a US $10 "shareware" fee to myself. (see accompanying 
"the whole story" for why) at the address below.  Please include a brief 
note describing where you got this font, what you like about it, and 
what you would like to see added to it. 
	If you just have to have the full collection of my train fonts 
(see "the whole story"), send a FORMATTED 3.5" HD disk (they won't all 
fit on an 800k disk any more) and a SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE to 
the address below. (I hate to format disks and you will be sure to get 
the right machine, Mac or IBM, this way) 
	I do not want to send any of my customers into bankruptcy, if you 
are honestly poor, (i.e., you ain't gonna support the American way and 
my education) please send a post card (the weirder the better) 
describing where you got this font, what you like about it and what you 
would like to see added to it. 
 
 
THE FINE PRINT: 
-Each font or icon package is an individual product.  Thus, if you keep 
Passenger Font and Freight Font, you should pay $20, not $10. 
 
-You may NOT use this font, Passenger Font, in any publication or any 
product unless you register your copy of Passenger Font by sending $10 
FOR EACH FONT YOU USE.  Be sure to specify which fonts you are 
registering for.  It is not fair for you to make money off of my hard 
work without paying the Shareware fees. 
 
-I would love a copy of any publication or product that incorporates my 
fonts. 
 
-You may distribute this font for free, however, you may not sell this 
font or include it in any package for sale without the written 
permission of myself, Benn Coifman.  I am very agreeable to CD ROM's and 
shareware packages for sale, however, I do want to retain some degree of 
control over my work.  So, please contact me first.  (note, this clause 
does NOT apply to dial up services like Compuserve, America On Line and 
bulletin boards that charge by the unit of time.  Theses services may 
list my products without contacting me) 
 
 
WHY SHOULD YOU SEND IN THE SHAREWARE FEE? 
	Well, I am releasing this font in it's entirety.  I put a lot of 
hard work into this font.  I have also gotten a lot of pleasure from it.  
Ignoring all of the capitalistic angles, your shareware dollar will 
speed up the development of new train fonts and help me afford new font 
tools.  My goal is to at least break even. 
	Only 17 people have registered my shareware products since I first 
released them six months ago.  There are a lot of expenses that go into 
these fonts.  My font editor cost almost $300.  Then there are the 
little expenses like ink cartridges (you wouldn't believe how many ink 
cartridges I go through) and paying for a mail box.  Oy!  And you want 
to talk about memory... 30 Meg of hard disk devoted to fonts and icon 
development. 
 
 
BENEFITS OF PAYING THE SHAREWARE FEE: 
	Enough of what shareware fees do for me, what will they do for 
you!?  I will spend less time on school and more time on producing 
shareware.  You will also be entitled to a peek into things to come.  If 
you send a disk along with your payment, I will give the Demo font that 
includes all of the odd characters that haven't quite found a home yet 
(including a number of steam engines!).  In addition, I will rush you 
out the most recent versions of my fonts and icons. 
 
 
GIVE IT TO YOUR FRIENDS, PASSENGER FONT MAKES A GREAT BIRTHDAY GIFT

REVISIONS: 
1.0	The original 
1.1	Added teach text readme file. 
1.2	Revised address

my fonts as being different entities, now you should not see any 
conflicts between fonts.  Added the IBM version.  Cleaned up all of the 
characters.  You shouldn't see any change, but your printer should.
