- The font BODACIOUS is a public domain font which is the copyright property
- of MicroCOM BBS. The original type 1 font was converted from a Mac font
- using Alltype.
-
- In June 1993 the Truetype version of this font was found to cause GPF's
- in Windows 3.1. The problem appears to be caused by a poor outline tracing
- which was causing divide by zero errors within the truetype driver. As a
- result of this the whole of the character outlines were re-traced to give
- a smoother outline whilst still maintaining the original shape of the
- characters. The oportunity was also taken to add both hinting and kerning
- pairs to the font to improve rendering. The new font now renders correctly
- with a much improved speed over the previous version.
-
- The re-traced font outline has been compiled into both Truetype and Type 1
- formats. Copyright remains with the original author of this font and no
- claims are made regarding copyright for the re-traced version.
