DownloadAssistant will automatically disconnect, then activate sleep or shutdown. DA helps prevent pirate intrusions into your system by reducing useless connection time. You can set the english speech synthesizer so DownloadAssistant will give you audio feedback of the download status (very useful if you are away from your computer!) This function works with DA in foreground or background. DA can expand files automatically with Stuffit Expanderü after disconnection and before shutdown. Saves time!

I lost the original source files and the generated fonts from it somewhere along the way, which was a kind of a drag...so I recreated it over the course of a weekend. One of my personal favorites, this one. The archive includes Fallen and Fallen Dirty faces, both in Postscript Type 1 and TrueType format. Fallen is a production of Fontosaurus Text, and is available there as a free download, in Macintosh and Windows formats. All my fonts are donationware -- if you download them and use them/link them, please donate $2.00 (U.S.) to me. There's usually a contest going on, related to what I'm trying to save up the money for. You may include this font on CDs or in online archives, but it MUST include all the contents of the original archive file, including the readme file and the web link files. Should you include it on a CD for publication purposes, I would appreciate a contributor's copy. Please email me at dan.bailey@fontosaurus.com for my snail-mail address.
