1. INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you for taking the time to look at Printer's Apprentice 8.1, 
the best font manager around. This file contains information about 
the software, pricing and technical support. Instructions for quickly
installing Printer's Apprentice are also included. The software
manual is contained in an online help file (pa.hlp). 

Printer's Apprentice is a comprehensive font manager for Windows 7, 
Vista and XP.  

We have designed it to be the best Windows font manager available 
today. With this software you can examine your TrueType and ATM 
font collection, print a variety of elegant font sample sheets and 
catalogs and install/uninstall fonts. Printer's Apprentice supports 
TrueType, OpenType and Adobe Type 1 formats.

Printer's Apprentice really shines when used with uninstalled fonts 
located on CD-ROMs or disks. You can preview uninstalled fonts with a 
few mouse clicks. Printer's Apprentice can also print ultra-sharp 
catalog listings from CDs without installing a single font. 

Printer's Apprentice 8.1 also adds font grouping to its list of award
winning features. Now you have the ability to create groups of 
TrueType, OpenType and ATM fonts that can be installed or uninstalled 
with a few mouse clicks!

If you have been looking for advanced font printing and management,
Printer's Apprentice is for you!

Please take the time to look at the software. If you do any work
with desktop publishing or use many fonts with your PC, we think you
will find Printer's Apprentice to be an invaluable utility.

REMEMBER - This software is shareware! If you like it, please see the
order information in this file or in the help system.
