The guys and gals at Weird Science have collected together no fewer than 18,800 files which are arranged together in 900 directories, all packed full of fonts in just about every conceivable format. As well as the native Amiga font formats such as bitmapped, CompuGraphic, PageStream and ProDraw outline fonts, the Weird Science collection also includes a large number of PC and even Atari ST format fonts in TrueType, Postscript, Calamus and GDOS formats. Some Amiga word processors now support these foreign formats so you can use these too. For DTP enthusiasts everywhere, this CD is a blessing.

Designed for use with both Amigas and PC compatibles equipped with a CD-ROM drive, Weird Science's CD Clip Art contains possibly the most comprehensive collection of clip art files available in the Public Domain. Like the Weird Science fonts pack, this CD contains clip art files in a variety of different formats (some of which are not compatible with the Amiga), but all the native Amiga formats are there in abundance including both bitmapped IFF and even ProDraw clips. The impressive range of clip art subjects is remarkably diverse - indeed, you'll probably be hard pushed not to find an image you're after.

The direct competitor to Weird Science's CD Fonts collection is PD Soft's Professional Fonts And Clip Art CD-ROM which contains thousands of outline and bitmapped fonts, as well as a wide range of bitmapped images (mostly in PCX and TIFF format, so you'll need an image processing program to use them). Surprisingly, the majority of fonts are in Type 1 or TrueType format (almost 6,000 in total) while Amiga users are restricted to just 200 CompuGraphic fonts. Unless you can convert PC fonts for use on the Amiga (or you have a package that supports them), this font collection is less than useful.
