- The Amiga font system is of course very flexible, when you buy the system
- you get a compugraphic font engine and the bitmap one, but there is
- nothing preventing people from writing extention engines what will
- inteface seamlessly with the system.
-
- May i recommend from aminet: the type1 library. Which is to postscript
- fonts what the bullet.library is to compugraphic fonts, or to put it
- another way it allows you to read postscript type1 fonts like any other
- font using the font requester (or opendiskfont).
-
- For instance i just designed a button bank in Directory Opus 5 useing a
- postscript font via the normal font requester. Just testing of course,
- not sure it'd wait for the scaling each time :)
-
- Note, you don't need to convert them or anything, just use the t1manager
- program to preview and install.
-
- If you find this of use, have a look on aminet in the util/libs
- directory.
-
- Requires 2.1, and (alas? :) MUI
