Interesting. Would you be offended if I made a technical criticism? This 
may be a faithful recreation of the original (I don't know), but at 
least in the Windows default viewer, it appears there are problems with 
stem width in some of the characters. Perhaps this is just a hinting 
issue and the effect disappears when printed at high resolution, but in 
the quick brown fox pangram, the k, p, q, s, y, and z stick out as 
noticeably heavier than the other lowercase letters. Only the T is 
capped, so without doing some testing I can't say anything about the 
caps. The effect is less noticeable in the shadow version.

Arrggh! Thank you! That's what I get for deciding to post when I'm 
tired. Thought I'd gone through and fixed all the stroke widths (or at 
least made them consistent). Obviously missed more than just a few. In 
fact, the 's' looks like it's from the original scan and untouched. A 
revised/corrected version of the font will be forthcoming.

I think the caps and numbers are OK, but I'll double check them at the 
same time.

As far as its being a faithful reproduction, it really isn't. There 
are many differences in the relative sizes and shapes of the arrow 
points,the curved tails, and the letter 'z'.

This is version 2. The first version had some size and shape errors 
that are corrected here.  An

alternate 'z' and some other minor glyphs are also included. The 
earlier versions should be discarded.

The ArrowheadLake family is based on Arrowhead and Arrowhead and 
Arrowhead Shaded as found on

page 74 of the Solotype Catalog and in Display Alphabets, by Dan Solo 
for Dover publications.

A note on the font names:

The 'Shaded' version in the catalog is really a 3D extrusion.

This release includes THREE fonts:

Solotype Arrowhead, produced here as 
Solotype Arrowhead Shaded, produced here as  ArrowheadLakeShadows (3D 
extruded)
        also added  (a separate true shadow effect)
