- 14 type1 fonts for Imagine spline editor
- .description
- Since the release of Imagine 2.9 last November, along with 3.0 a couple of
- months ago, it has been a little difficult finding Type I Postscript fonts
- that'll work in Imagine's Spline editor. The reasons for this are varied.
-
- Typically, PS fonts in the Amiga domain have been processed with Gold
- Disk's Font Manager or some other utility for use in DTP applications.
- Also, these later versions of Imagine have been compiled on a PC and ported
- to the Amiga. Some of the PS fonts have way too much detail and curves,
- causing the Spline editor to return an error, or the object comes in as an
- axis only.
-
- So I set upon a quest of sorts, downloading Type I Postscript fonts from
- various nets and BBSs, and seeing which ones would load into Imagine.
- Naturally I cannot claim that the fonts in this archive represent the
- majority available to the Amiga user (at least, I sure hope not!), but they
- have all been tested and work just fine in 3.0, and presumably, 2.9.
-
- They all are, to the best of my knowledge, in the public domain. You will
- need to play with them a little, checking for duplicate points and coplanar
- edges. But they do look very nice when rendered. These are the .pfb files
- only, just put them in your PSFonts directory and you're ready to go
- (rtfm). In any event, have fun, and keep on rendering!
-
- Also included is a 16 color HiRes IFF of a rendered example of each of the
- fonts.
