Czesc, ostatnio widzialem tutaj kilka pytan o polskie "fonts" Ponizej jest lista ktora znalazlem gdzies na Web,mam nadzieje ze bedzie Wam pomocna. | \|/ Thanks to all those who replied. As I know many people who use rather poor fonts, feel free to forward this summary to any Polish mail lists to which you subscribe. Btw, in a couple of places I made some comments in upper case: this is only to differentiate my comment from the respondent's text and not to signify that I am shouting. SUMMARY ======= 1) Apple: (anonymous ftp, see item 9 below as well) ========= [For those who do not know what ftp is, see any book on the Internet- Mohan] At ftp.apple.com, get into the international system software directory, where you will find the Polish system 7.01. Download the fonts disk(s) and you will find, among others, Times CE and Helvetica CE, which have all the characters you need. See directory : /dts/mac/sys.soft.intl/polish.7.0.1 2) Krakow: (screen fonts only) ========== Available from: Thomas R. Ridley RIT Research Corp trrrc@rc.rit.edu as a file that must be converted with BinHex 4.0) 3) Polis ======== .hqx file available from WOJTEK@EMBL-Hamburg.DE described as: "an .hqx file containing a self-extracting archive, all made with Compact Pro 1.34. You will find there two different types of fonts. One type uses the polish keyboard, which has a somewhat different layout. You will probably prefer the other kind which uses the 'option' key to get the polish characters. I occasionally use the font in folder Polis. It does notlook great but I can print them. I've found one bug in them - to get the polish "e," I have to press 'option e' twice. I haven't tried the others." 4) Casady and Greene ($$) ==================== "Casady & Greene have in the past produced several fonts, both bitmap and postscript, appropriate for various eastern European languages, including Polish, Czech, etc. (and Greek, Cyrillic etc...). I have not personally used these special fonts but I recall seeing them in the literature from Casady & Greene (I use other fonts from them, which are of high quality). The latest phone listings I have are as follows: 408-484-9228 (general) 800-289-7555 (sales) 408-498-9218 (fax). (Casady & Greene publish a volume of their Fluent Laser Fonts for Eastern European languages. I recently recommended them to someone In Winnipeg wanting a Czech font and I think Polish is in the same set. The set was $152 Canadian 76 pounds sterling in Montreal plus 15 per cent tax but would be cheaper in the US. ) 5) Adobe Fonts (Free for Adobe users) ============== "We have produced several fonts, I think we have Helvetica, Times, Optima and Caslon in Polish versions. They are however made up for a Swedish keyboard layout, but I think you will find all polish characters on your UK keyboard. They are modified Adobe fonts, so I wont charge you, if you honestly tell me that you own the original font. Mail me at "claes@gemini.ldc.lu.se" with info about which family you'd like, and I'll send it to you tomorrow. Claes Magnusson MacMeckarna AB, Malmoe, Sweden claes@well.sf.ca.us 6) Allotype Graphics ($$) ========================= Compatible with all laser printers, available both in PostScript and TrueType.
