Don, Where'd you get all those Interfonts? Karl

Karl, I'll get you the name next week…it's at work. I got a mailing as a "registered Interfont owner," so I assumed they sold their mailing list. Don

Thanks, Don. I like using Interfonts, but have sometimes wished I had more of the things. Karl

Brad, I don't know if it's the same company that Don was talking about, but AROCK Computer Software sent me something in May about 49 Interfonts for $69 to registered Interfont owners, $99 otherwise. They included a sample printout of them, and there is quite a variety. Their address is P.O. Box 731 Springfield MO 65801 Karl P.S. I don't own them; I had misplaced the offer until yesterday.

I wouldn't hurt to give them a call at (800) 288-AROK. I think the offer is still on. In fact, in our next mailing from Syndesis, we'll be making the same offer, at the same price. These are 49 of the fonts from the bitmap ARock Masterpiece Fonts.

Karl, That's the one! Don

It's not really that hard to create Fonts with InterFont. Sometimes when I want to use a new font, I just outline the letters I'm going to use and leave the rest of them blank. It's a lot easier to just do the letters you want to use. 🙂 Steve

Steve, Yeah, I guess I should try making a few Interfonts before breaking out the check book for the AROCK stuff. Lazy, ya know. Do yours turn out as good as what the supplied ones do? I should go dig up the docs to see how many steps there are. Karl

> Do yours turn out as good as what the supplied ones do? Yup! Sure do! <grin!> If you dig up the docs (I think it's mentioned on the disk), you'll find that I'm the one that did a bunch of those fonts that are supplied on the InterFont disk. Steve

Show Off…. But Thank you. Brad Hayes

Well, he asked. <grin> Steve

Steve, <chuckle> You sly dog. You do indeed get around. What, me read the docs? Karl

Don, I was cleaning up the computer room yesterday, and found a mailing from AROCK Computer Software. They have converted 49 of their fonts to Interfont format and were offering them for $69 to registered owners of Interfont back in June. I wonder if the offer is still good. Are these the ones you were thinking of? Do any of them have punctuation? Karl
#19688From: Don ZeikelOct 28, 1990 5:40 PM
Karl, Those are them! (bad English, huh?) Those that I have used have been complete fonts, and I believe they included punctuation. Only problem I have hit so far is that on some of them the did not put a full space on the space bar, so you have to use several spaces. Don
