Please read this document. It contains important information on using this font.
CHANNELS is a specialized font, useful for anyone involved in printing TV listings on a regular basis. In addition to containing a very readable condensed font, it includes symbols similar to those you would find on most TV-listings pages in your daily newspaper. I had to rearrange a few keys to accommodate the cable listings the ampersand (&), exclamation mark (!), bullet () and dollar sign ($) characters. I hope this doesnt cause any severe problems.
I tried to include most popular cable stations, including the new SciFi and Cartoon Networks. If I have omitted any important stations, my apologies. Please drop me E-Mail and I will try to include them in a possible future update.
This version of CHANNELS is in TrueType format. A Postscript Type 1 version is also available.
I would welcome your suggestions/comments concerning this font. If you use this font on a professional level (i.e., in material that is distributed for profit), a shareware fee of $14.95 per copy is requested. You may distribute or upload this file to other bulletin boards providing this README file is included.
