DUBIEL POSTSCRIPT FONTS
Dubiel and DubielItalic are Type 1, ATM-compatible PostScript fonts modeled on
the fonts Torino and Torino Italic. They are similar to a condensed Bodoni,
except with lighter strokes. They work well both as text and display fonts.
The bitmap fonts have not been retouched, so screen output will be somewhat
uneven in small sizes. A TrueType version of this font is also available.
FONT SAMPLES
Here is a sample of Dubiel at about 70 points:
And Dubiel Italic:
[See the accompanying ReadMeDubielFontsPS.pic i.e. double-click the icon.
(GAR)]
Both fonts contain a full set of characters, numbers, punctuation and
diacritical characters. The FOND resources have not been merged, so if you
have both fonts installed you have to choose the font DubielItalic to get
DubielItalic -- choosing Dubiel and then the "Italic" style will only slant the
Dubiel font by 15 degrees. Sad, but true.
Both fonts have more than 200 kerning pairs installed. They should look pretty
good at 12 points at 300-dpi, and fabulous at 48 points and above. The fonts'
"signature" characters are located at shift-option-1. You may also be
interested with the alternative "Apple" characters in the fonts.

shareware, or donateware. If you like and use these fonts, please make a
tax-deductible donation of $14.99 to Columbia University (your donation helps
pay for performances of music written by Columbia students; unfortunately, the
Columbia Composers was a casualty of a recent belt-tightening move at
Columbia). If you have already donated for DavysDingbats, this font is
free to you. Please send your check to Cynthia Lemiesz, 703 Dodge Hall,
Columbia University, New York, NY 10027 and write "CU composers - Dubiel" on
the check.
You can give copies of these fonts out, providing all the files in this

I suppose I should mention that my wife really digs the "2" in the Dubiel font.
These fonts come to you from Insect Bytes, an area where touch-tone dialing is
a very recent innovation.
