Fonts for Risc OS

EFF Risc OS Type Library contains over 1,300 fonts which support over 60 languages.
All our typefaces are PostScript compatible, but have been designed especially for Risc OS and fully hand hinted. This guarantees that EFF fonts will reproduce better than any others at all sizes on all kinds of media.
We pride ourselves in providing only highest quality fonts and hope to bring to the Risc OS users the best of the world’s typography. We are also happy to provide free advice on font related matters to all Risc OS users.

All the fonts, single weights or full families, are available individually on floppy discs. Please visit our web site http://www.eff.co.uk for font samples, available alphabets and prices.

Font catalogue

Samples of all our fonts are available. You can:

• Load the application !EFFcat00 from this CD, or
• visit our web site, or
• contact our office for a copy of the current catalogue

Font formats

• Risc OS 2 – used by old Archimedes machines. Risc OS 2 fonts do not have kerning (information about letter spacing) and take up more space, so if your computer still runs Risc OS 2 you should think of upgrading it to Risc OS 3.
• Risc OS 3 – nowadays a standard format used by Risc OS (upgraded Archimedes and all Risc PC) machines. It supports kerning and their files are more compact.
• Publisher – consists of two formats: Risc OS 3 and PostScriptŠ Type 1, used by PostScript printers and imagesetters. The PostScript font file is downloaded directly to the printer, which greatly improves the quality of the printed text. Recommended format for professional users.

Foreign languages and keyboard drivers

You may also need a Keyboard Driver, an application that allows an easy access to foreign letters from your English keyboard. Some languages may require just few additional letters not available on the keyboard, for instance German language would require just Ä, Ë, Ö, Ü and ß whereas Russian or Bengali languages would require complete remapping of the keyboard since they do not use any of the English letters.
You can use a foreign font without a keyboard driver by entering the characters’ ASCII codes or using an application like !Chars, but the keyboard driver will make it much easier.

Price list

All the fonts can be obtained individually (by weight). The prices of fonts vary depending on type of font and alphabet they belong to.
