I am compelled to port Middleton by Jon Hodges to the Windows platform. Enclosed in this archive you will find a .wfn file for use in CorelDraw along with screen fonts and .pfb and .pfm files for use with Windows 3.0 and 2.0.  This incarnation of Middleton is a Type 1 PostScript font for use with the bundled PS driver. You will also find a PageMaker 3.01 publication which you should print to determine the mapping and  how Middleton sets. I do this is memory of a close friend I lost to cancer and hope you will find it in your heart to contribute to this worthy cause. Please respect the wishes of Jon Hodges the designer of Middleton.
For Pam with love, Steve

********************************************************************************************
 
Middleton is an unabashed knockoff of Florentine, a display face
created by R. Hunter Middleton, the former director of type
design for Ludlow. During his lifetime, Middleton created some 90
faces primarily for the advertising community, including the
popular face Radiant. As far as I have been able to determine.
Florentine is a registered trademark of T.J. Lyons, which in turn
has licensed the face to a variety of vendors such as Linotype
and VGC.

This font is being released as freeware to the typesetting
community. However, it can only be uploaded onto electronic
bulletin boards with my permission. On CompuServe, this font is
exclusively found on the DTPFORUM -- under no circumstances is
this font to be loaded onto any other CIS forum.


Middleton is released in memory of Michael DeCrescente, the
former general manager of Characters Typographical Services,
Inc., who died of cancer in 1989. A contribution to the American
Cancer Society is always appreciated.

Notification of any  problems with the font or requests for its
upload on other bulletin boards can be made to:

Please be aware that I am still philosophically wrestling with
the whole issue of font knockoffs, so grab the face now. If and
when Florentine is released commercially, I may decide the pull
the font off the boards.
