What's New
- Since the previous web host of OFFSite Update previews decided to terminate the hosting arrangement, Spymac will now host the previews starting with this update. With the change of web host also comes a change in how the preview is presented. It will now be presented as follows:
• The character on the upper left corner is the ASCII representation of the character assigned to the glyph. • The number on the upper right corner is the decimal equivalent of the Unicode assigned to the glyph. You can usually use this together with the Alt key to generate a character that does not appear on the keyboard. Most programs require that a zero (0) precedes the number. However, the and ligatures could not be generated through this method. • The character shown at the bottom is the preview of the character contained in the glyph. Unless otherwise indicated, the character is shown at 36 points. Preview of fonts in this update can be seen at http://freefonts.spymac.net/20050322.- Eight fonts by two designers were added site. All fonts are available in Windows True Type format.

- Seven fonts comprise the Sketch group of scrapbooking type of fonts: Sketch Boards, Sketch Bones, Sketch Clothes, Sketch Logs, Sketch Pencils, Sketch Pipes and Sketch Tools.
These fonts are from scans of the book, "Awesome Alphabets" by Mike Artell (1999). They're suitable for child-oriented scrapbook pages and similar informal usage.
In making computer fonts, I'm afraid I've done the exact opposite of what the author was trying to promote - kids using their originality to create hand-drawn alphabets. I've modified some of the characters slightly for consistency.

- Roadway
Roadway is based on U.S. highway lettering seen on New York street signs in February 2005.
Two weights of highway lettering would often be used in the same street sign, a standard condensed version used for the main name and a half-size regular for less important information like 'road' or 'street'.Roadway is a Small Caps font. The upper case is condensed capitals, the lower case consists of regular weight small caps, sized at 50% and superscript.
