#CG Fonts

Hi Paul!
Thanks you for your hint, but in Germany there are also some companies
which *sell* CG Fonts. I hoped that were would be some in the PD.

Gerhard,
The fonts that are available here are converted Shareware/PD
fonts and are sold as such by the PD libaries. Presumably it would only be
a matter of time before they reach the Compuserve libraries, and you can
freely download them.
Personally it is cheaper for me to buy them from a PD library than it is
to download from CIS (UK CIS rates are far to high! ;-).
I know there has been some debate as to the legal side of things, i.e
Does the AGFA/CG font format carry the copyright or the font itself. All I
can say is that as I understand it, the UK distributor has the blessing of
AGFA and Gold Disk so I now assume that they can be used in the same way
as Type Ones.
Hope this helps, but probably just adds to the confusion 🙂

do you know from which source those Fonts are converted? I wonder wether
the converted Fonts are as good (and fexible) as the original ones.
At the Ami Show in Cologne a company (i forgot the name 🙁 ) introduced a
new font which seemed to be compatible with the CGFonts, but they have been
var too expensive.

P.S. In Germany the CIS Rates are also to high! 🙂
