- Greetings,
-
- Over the last couple of lunch breaks, I've established an experimental gopher
- with the following feature: you can retreive small GIF image samples of most
- of the internet-available PostScript and MetaFont fonts. I had the images
- lying around (more or less) so I thought I'd set this thing up and see what
- people think.
-
- The gopher is at ibis.cs.umass.edu, port 70.
-
- This is a very experimental thing so it may or may not be up at any given time
- (though it's _usually_ up right now). If it becomes too resource consumptive,
- it'll have to go. But I am hoping for some feedback so please try it and let
- me know what you think (if you're interested in fonts at all).
-
- If anyone who maintains a more permanent gopher would like to put this service
- up locally, let me know and I'll arrange to get the images and directories to
- you.
-
- Enjoy,
- norm
