Laurie Ann Preston
Laurie Ann Preston's free dingbats at Graphic Heaven [dead link]: eight sets of LADoodles truetype fonts, LA-Decorations1, LA-Basic, LA-Round-About, LA-GeoLines (1999). Not to be confused with Laurie Preston of Shadowy Mist. Here, we read: A little mystery had us foxed for some years with these fonts, which have a prefix of LA. They were created by Laurie Ann Preston at Graphic Heaven, but at roughly the same time the ShadowyMist site was also offering a set of dingbat fonts by Laurie Preston (aka NightHawk) and prefixed LP. With such a similarity of names it was easy to assume both Lauries must be one and the same person; yet a few details never tallied. Despite the coincidences we eventually decided the LA and LP fonts were probably two quite separate collections by different people, but it was never altogether certain. Then towards the end of 2005 Laurie Ann (of Graphic Heaven) came across this page and kindly let us know that her LA dingbats had no connection with the LP fonts from ShadowyMist by 'the other Laurie', and we're most grateful to her for taking the trouble to clarify this. |
