I just spotted an attractive item in Publish! magazine. A company is offering 64 Postscript typefaces for free, although there's a $7 shipping & handling charge. I ordered this week, so I have no idea how good, varied or Imagine-compatible they are. (The salesman told me they use Adobe encoding, so I should be all right) You can reach the company, whose name escapes me, at (800) 763-8625, or (619) 929-6030. Blaq!

Blaq – Since they're free, they may be freely distributable. If they are, uploads are always appreciated! – Rob.. on Amiga via AutoPilot <71212.712@compuserve.com>

Charles – But what format are they going to be sending you. I mean, are they going to be on a PC disk (and what size disk – HD or low density). They surely are going to be sending those out to you on an Amiga Disk? Roy Pahnke – Casper, Wyoming – OnLine with CIS since 1985 –

Roy, I had a choice between IBM and Mac format; IBM is what my Amiga programs read. As for high vs. low density, everyone has access to an IBM these days. If they send me the fonts on a 1.44M disk, I'll just copy the files at the office onto a 720K disk that my 3000 can handle. I'll report back on which fonts, if any, are compatible with Imagine. Blaq!

I wish you had PgS so you could report on compatibility there, too.
