"Eagle GT II" is the 42nd free font from Rich Gast.

It was originally created on 09/30/99. Well, not actually. It was
originally created about two weeks before that and offered to The
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company as a "not-so-free" font. However,
inasmuch as they showed absolutely no interest in the font and did
not reply to my e-mail, it now joins the ranks of the GreyWolf
WebWorks Free Fonts. And that's the story behind why my 43rd free
font was released before my 42nd.

GreyWolf WebWorks Free Fonts (and versions previously released as

The character set includes:

Upper and lower case letters, numbers, international characters and
most punctuation. Also, there are the following special characters:
{ = Rounded left end of tread pattern.*
[alt0189] = Squared left end of tread pattern.*
} = Rounded right end of tread pattern.*
[alt0190] = Squared right end of tread pattern.*
| = Center section of tread pattern.*
* Try typing {|||||} or [alt0189]|||||[alt0190] to see the effect.
[alt0130] = Winged Foot Logo.
[alt0131] = GOOD(Winged Foot)YEAR logo.
[alt0132] = Tread pattern with GOOD(Winged Foot)YEAR logo in it.
[alt0164] = Eurocurrency character.
[alt0178] = Underlined superscript 00 for use in pricing.
[alt0188] = Horizontal top view of tire.
[alt0191] = Vertical top view of tire.
Using this font in light grey on a white background in a graphics
program like PSP where you can apply a "cutout" effect will result in
letters that look like tire tracks left behind in the snow (see the
GIF sample). If you need detailed instructions, e-mail me and I'll
get back to you.

Eagle GT II got it's name from the fact that the tread pattern used to
create the font is the actual tread pattern of a Goodyear Eagle GT II
performance tire. It was my hope that Goodyear would pay me the modest
sum of one gazillion megabucks for worldwide exclusive rights to use
this font in their advertising campaigns. After all, this is a hand
drawn font, not some autotraced scanjob. However my vision of vast
wealth beyond my imagination turned out to be just another bubble
burst. But the result is that YOU get another FREE font. Lucky you!
