From: Les Ferhc <[e-mail]>
Subject: Adobe-Screen-Fonts.hqx

The following 746K archive includes a complete set of screen
(bitmap) fonts for the standard 11 font families found in most
PostScript printers.  These are the screen fonts from Adobe that
include plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic versions of sizes 10,
12 , 14, 18, and 24 point and have been combined into NFNT font
families.  This means, you won't actually see the bold, italic, and
bold-italic fonts in your Font menu, but they will be used when you
select the appropriate style via the Style menu.

As a bonus, I have applied the patch to Symbol and Chancery that
allows you to print these fonts in bold.

Further information is provided within a MacWrite document included
in the archive.

Now, if someone could provide 9 point versions of these fonts,
many of us who have to use tiny print would be very grateful.

Could you please post this on MacServe as
                 FONT-BELSLEY/BARTHOLOMEW.HQX?
Various of my colleagues at Boston College and MIT have found these
fonts very useful and suggested I make them more widely available
In addition to a standard character set, they contain a full Greek
alphabet and a generous complement of mathematical symbols (all of
which, by the way, will print in bold face, unlike the Symbol font upon
which they are based).

This file contains the Belsley and Bartholomew screen fonts (all-purpose
technical LaserWriter fonts), their LaserWriter download files,
corresponding keyboard layout documents, and a Read Me document with
full details.  The file must first be unBinHexed and then UnStuffed
(v 1.5.1 was used).

Subject: Monospaced font for coding

There was a recent request for a good monospaced font for programming. I'm
enclosing a binhexed 9pt version of the "Code" font, which I created from
another font I found on AppleLink a while back (I added the slashed zero).
What makes this font great is that there are NO invisible characters - the
characters that are non-printing in most other fonts show up as their ASCII
code inside a rectangle. Zeroes are also slashed, and small "l" does not look
like numeral "1". This is my default font for MPW files (although I print with
courier to avoid sending a bitmap to the LaserWriter). I hope you enjoy it.
Please archive as "Code9.hqx".

Well, here I am working on a HyperCard stack (which might get uploaded to
sumex-aim sometime in the next decade) and I decided I wanted a kind of
high-tech cyberpunk-looking font. So I dug out a copy of Chicago, hacked
it up with ResEdit, and voila!

I call it CyberChicago because I couldn't think of anything better.

If you like it, enjoy! If not, trash it. It's in the PUBLIC DOMAIN (yes
kiddies, you could hack it up even more, call it CyberChicago Deluxe, and
I wouldn't care) because I seriously doubt anyone is going to pay money
for it. If you like, though, I might appreciate an email message saying so.

And if I get really bored I might dig out an old copy of Fontographer and
make it a TrueType font.

Subject: cyrillic font submission

Below is a binhex'd, stuffit'd font file that contains a variety of
Cyrillic (Russian, etc) fonts that I collected in response to my request
for Russian fonts. There were name conflicts among the fonts I received
and with other fonts already in the archives, so I renamed some fonts
arbitrarily. I think there is one font duplication, but I did not want
to check it carefully enough to see. Only bitmap fonts were donated; I
did not find any publically available outline fonts.

Please Note: I am not the author of this font file. Recently, I
uploaded a TrueType conversion of the "DavysRibbons" file, which, for
some reason or another lost its original TrueType associated file.

Anyways, I received quite a few letters asking for the other fonts of
the "Davys" family. Here, anyways, is one of the TrueType and Laser PS
files for "DavysOtherDingbats," with all its files.

The thanks, credits, and any cash should go to David Rakowski, the
AUTHOR of these fonts. I just got asked to post it, since it seems
sumex-aim no longer has it. A blurb from the README docs follows.

From: [e-mail]


FontCard (v1.1) is a HyperCard 2.x stack  for to catalog your fonts.
With it, you create A4-letter-sized forms containing (all) keyboard
characters of (all) active fonts and get them printed or bitmap images
of them stacked. There's also a report template for you  get a printout
with only one or a few sample lines of each font (save much paper).
Some features of FontCard are:
   - the default character sets are editable
   - each font card (character sets) is editable
   - text size may be chosen from 9 to 48 for each card
   - quick text spacing chages
   - mark card, unmark card, invert all marks,  unmark all.
   - new cards marked automatically; cards for fonts that are
      not available,  unmarked automatically  (on startup)
   - print card / marked / all
   - create bitmap "shadow" of card / marked / all

Some of those features help you scan through the fonts you keep
in suitcases or in only one or two machines on your large network.
FontCard can't catalog fonts from closed suitcases, though, but you
can open a bunch of fonts, catalog them, unmark them, close them
/move to another machine, open another bunch of fonts (partly the
same than the first one, maybe), catalog (only the marked ones of)
them, etc.

Version 1.1 works with HC2.1 also (1.0 didn't).

FontCard is mostly FREE; It _may_, though, and if used at work or
in business, _should_ be paid for. Please give a copy to your friends.

"fontcvt" is a UNIX program I wrote one day while waiting for my hard disc
to be repaired.  It extracts FONT resources from a Macintosh resource file
and creates font files in vfont format.  These fonts can be used as Sun
screen fonts.  (Theoretically they could also be used as Versatec
printer fonts, but the difference in resolution makes all but the largest
Mac fonts too small for the Versatec.)

FontMaster 2.0 is an application I wrote out of necessity. It is constantly
being updated, and will improve more over time. It was tested on many Macintosh
models, and on both monochrome and color systems. It is System 7 compatible,
and will even work great on the Quadra systems.

FontMaster 2.0 is a utility for printing catalogs of the fonts you have
installed in your system. It has a filter for TrueType so you can list and
print only those fonts you want to list. It allows complete font lists, or full
character sheets to be printed.

If you encounter any bugs with this application, please drop me a note. I
already have a list of additional features I will be adding, but will gladly
listen to all suggestions.

Subject: [*] Pictorial guide to downloading shareware fonts

Up to this point, downloading fonts from various FTP sites was
a frustrating proposition for one reason- because you never know
what you are getting until you have taken the time to download it.

Thus, I have taken it upon myself to create an electronic guide to
the world of shareware fonts.  I have collected every shareware and
freeware truetype font available through the internet, and America
Online.  Also, many of these fonts are probably available through
compuserve as well.  I printed a catalogue showing samples of each font
(usually the characters abcdeFGHIJ12345, unless it was a caps font
or dingbats font), and then scanned it into a PICT file using an apple
scanner set to greyscale at 150 dpi.  The original document scanned was
printed at 300dpi.

The best way to view this is to read it into a draw or paint program
and view it at 200%.  For some reason the fonts look much more like what
they will really look like if you do this.  Some fonts didn't come through
so great (particularly thin fonts, like PremiumThin, which I highly
reccommend anyway), but to scan these in at a higher resolution would have
raised the size of the file to well over 2 meg.

This file has been compressed with Compact Pro 1.33, file size @160K.

Dear info-mac community, Two years ago I originally submitted
FuriosoTitling, the caps and numerals from a shareware font I
designed called Furioso (after Berthold Wolpe's Albertus). In the
intervening two years, I improved the complete font, by adding many
characters (mostly foreign language) and some alternate characters.
Also in the intevening two years, I have lived at three different
addresses. Wayzata released a font disk that had my old address on
it, which ceased being forwarded several months ago. If you a
registered owner of Furioso (US$12 for the complete font), please
contact me at: 5 Willow St. Apt. A, Camden, ME 04843 or
[e-mail]. I have also resubmitted a newer version of the
sampler version of Furioso, called Furisampleoso (printer font is
Furis) for those interested in seeing or registering the new complete
version. Enclosed is a TrueType suitcase, and the Type 1 bitmaps and
printer font, as well as a document about what you get on
registration. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail or snail mail

This is a font based on gaeilic fonts prior to the use of Roman
fonts for writing in Gaeilic. It includes dotted consonants for
aspiration. Read the "Leigh Mise" file for more info. The "Sampla"
file is a file with some gaelic writing in it so you can see what it
looks like. Obviously, you must install the font first. Both
postscript (Type I) and bitmap fonts are include. ATM compatible.

This font is shareware (US$10). I am open to comments and criticisms.

This is the first in a series of Gaelic fonts I plan to develop.
Some will be traditional, some will be new. I hope you enjoy this one.

From: [e-mail] (Jay L. Cross)
Subject: [*] GrayChicago font for HyperCard



GrayChicago is a 12 point bitmapped (NOT TT or Type 1) font
similar to the Chicago that is included with the Macintosh, but
instead of solid black characters, it uses a gray "desktop" fill
pattern.  This font can be installed in your System or in your
HyperCard application, and can be used to make HyperCard buttons
that look and act like "real" buttons; that is, they can appear
to be disabled ("grayed-out") when appropriate.  This is much
simpler to implement than making painted copies of buttons and
manually filling each character of the copy with the gray pat-
ern.  Complete instructions and sample scripts are included.
Stuffit archive includes the stack with the font installed, and
a separate font suitcase file (less than 4K).  This version 1.2
adds system 7.x installation info to the stack and updates
the author's Email address.  The stack now requires HC version
2.x.  No change to the font.  If you have version 1.0 or 1.1,
you've got this font.  Free.

This is the second release of my font "Handwriting".
[Note to Moderators: This replaces "handwriting.hqx"]

This font was generated from tidied-up traced scans of my handwriting, and,

This release of the font is a major advance on the last release - it now
contains 211 characters, and is almost a 'complete' font.

This archive contains Postscript type 1 and TrueType versions.

The font "Handwriting" is "milk-of-human-kindnessware". It is free to be
used without permission in any noncommercial work - permission for any
other usage must sought from me. It may be distributed freely, so long as
the file "Handwriting README" remains unaltered, and is distributed with

Subject:      Klingon Font

Recently someone asked for a Klingon font.  A friend had sent me one more
than a year ago, in 24- and 48-point sizes.  The spacing was horribly
disfigured, making it impossible to print.  I corrected the spacing and
added a 12-point size, and so renamed it Klingon 1.1.  Enclosed below is
the BinHexed StuffIt!ed font and a note by me (as editor and concerned
xenolinguist) for the archives.

>If you're looking for QUALITY manuscript fonts, you'll have to expand

Attached is MacHumaine, the best calligraphic laser font that I have found
in the public domain. The author (Bill Horton) not only gives away his
finished product, but also includes his Fontographer file so others can
alter it to suit their tastes. That is true public domain. I found it on
the latest release of the Club Mac cd, which has the best collection of
pd and shareware laser fonts that I am aware of. You can judge for yourself
it it is worth more than its price.

The next issue of PUBLISH magazine (October) was scheduled (and hopefully still
is scheduled to have an article telling what is now available in PostScript
typefaces.

Another good source of info about the typeface scene is PERSONAL PUBLISHING
magazine. It has a monthly column called "Type Drawer" which illustrates six
new typefaces. In the last issue they showed an Adobe font called "Cheq." It
is a chess typeface, and the column said it was freeware. Has anyone seen it?

The font comes in 12 and 48 points. The package also includes two resources

From: John V. Goodman <[e-mail]>

Howdy!

Enclosed is "Quantum," a freeware postscript font.

It looks like Helvetica (tm) compressed, and is useful for many
display purposes.  (And as an unhinted font, use below 24pt at
300dpi is not recommended.)  Screen fonts are included for sizes
24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 pt, in NFNT format.

Upper and lower case, numerals, and most punctuation are included.
However, the font is missing certain symbols which I had no use for
at the time, including { } @ ^ < > \ ~ and various others.  Sorry.

Hope some of you may find it useful.

Subject: A Type 1 Font with recycling symbols


Enclosed is a bihex'd stuffit (1.51) archive of a PostScript Type 1
outline font with accompanying bitmaps.  The font consists of several
versions of the international recycling symbol (the one with the three
arrows forming a triangle).  It includes the basic symbol in several
variations as well as special versions for each of the seven classes
of recyclable plastics.

A sample document showing how they look and the key combinations used
is included.

The symbols will not show up in the Font/Da Mover sample window, and are
pretty unreadable in the keycaps DA, so print the sample to see how they
look.

This font was downloaded from America Online.  I have no connection
with or knowledge of its creator.

Well, here it is.  This is a bitmapped USPS Barcode font.  It comes
with instructions from the author on how to code.  As I pointed
out earlier, the first and last characters are placeholders and
the second to the last is a checksum as barcodes must add up to
a multiple of 10 (Damned if I know why).

If someone were to either convert this to PS Type 1 or could post
a Type 1 font here, it would be helpful to many on the net.

Subject: Very small screen font

Here is my favorite eyestrain inducing screen font.  This is a very old
bitmap font that is the smallest screen display font that I know of.  It
includes what are called 10 and 20 point sizes but those numbers are in no
way related to the real display size which is more like 5 point.  The font
consists of characters that are 5 pixels high.  It is not monospaced.  I
use it for showing lots and lots of cells in a spreadsheet because it
displays much cleaner than a small size of an outline font.

Subject: Request to submit a file


I'd like to put the following into the info-mac archive. I think what
follows is self explanatory. Should I also mail something to
comp.sys.mac.digest or will you announce it?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a fairly simple font for the Z specification language.
It is based on the notation used in Hayes' Specification Case Studies.
(I know that Spivey would be a better basis, but the font
pre-dates that.)

I created it myself using Fontographer because I needed it for
our examinations papers. I am most definitely not a professional
type designer, so I make few claims about the font.
However it is adequate for the job. In particular it looks OK on paper;
on the screen at small sizes glyphs are not always as clear as they might be
(lack of pixels to play with).
As I have had several requests for it, I have decided to make it more
publicly available.

This archive contains two files: Z and Z.bmap.
Z is the PostScript version and Z.bmap is a bitmap.
Put Z wherever you put your PostScript font files (e.g. the Extensions
Folder) and Z.bmap where you put bitmap fonts (e.g. in the System
file, or in a Suitcase file or whatever).

I hope that you find the font useful. If it has any deficiencies
(other than aesthetic!) or you have any other comments, please
let me know -- I may even fix things.
