THIS PAGE IS PRINTED IN ``INSTITUTE BALLPOINT,'' A NEW FONT
CREATED BY ANDREW MARC GREENE.  GREENE IS A NEW METAFONTER,
AND THIS IS HIS FIRST ATTEMPT AT CREATING A FONT.  BALLPOINT
IS THUS CHARACTERISED BY SIMPLE LETTERFORMS AND A SMALL,
CIRCULAR PEN SHAPE --- THUS THE NAME ``BALLPOINT.''

INSTITUTE BALLPOINT IS A SANS-SERIF FONT DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE
CAREFUL HAND-LETTERING OF THE KIND DONE BY ENGINEERS.  GREENE
IS NOT SURE WHAT THE USE OF BALLPOINT WILL BE, OTHER THAN TO
GAIN THE EXPERIENCE OF CREATING A NEW FONT; BUT HE IS STARTING
TO LIKE IT ENOUGH THAT HE MAY FIND A USE FOR IT YET.

THE FAMILY OF ``INSTITUTE'' FONTS, OF WHICH BALLPOINT IS THE
FIRST, IS INTENDED TO BE AN ALTERNATIVE SET OF USABLE FONTS.
DESPITE THE NAME, IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE MASSACHUSETTS
INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, EXCEPT THAT GREENE IS CURRENTLY AN
UNDERGRADUATE IN MIT'S PHYSICS DEPARTMENT.

WE NEED LOWERCASE REAL BAD!  DON'T WE?  `{}`THIS WAS NOT
LIGATURED.'{}'  NOTICE: THIS IS FUN; THIS IS GREAT -- SORT
OF.
