- Greetings..
- I am looking for a Romanian version of the 'Times' font.
- Are there any users out there who might be in posession of such a thing?
- Does the name 'Fdtimes' ring a bell?
-
- BACKGROUND:
- The head of our Modern Languages Dept. has had several books published in
- Romanian. These have mainly been printed in Romania. Now, however, he has
- a IIsi and is doing his own DTP. Thus he needs a Romanian font -- which in
- effect is Times with a few squiggles added above & below some of the
- letters.
-
- SOLUTIONS?
- I got Fontographer onto the job and modified the standard Times font.
- However, what Fontographer produces isn't quite as clear as the (English)
- Times which is built into the Personal LW's, especially the screen fonts.
- I believe that there is a font called 'Fdtimes' which is exactly what I'm
- looking for. The person in question managed to bring back a font called
- 'Fdtimes' when he last returned from Romania, however, its only the bitmap
- version -- we need the PostScript or TrueType companion to it.
- An archie search has revealed nothing.
- Thus it seems that my only alternatives are (a) to stick with the Font I've
- done in Fontographer, which is rather cruddy, or (b) try and get in touch
- with Apple Romania (!) or the printer who gave us the bitmap versions --
- via Email?? fat chance. It'd be by snail which would take months.
-
- Any advice (incl. names of vendors etc.) is appreciated.
- PLEASE REPLY DIRECTLY to me, as I might not get a chance to read news
- again for some time.
- Thanks.
- Justin Ridge.
