- Dear PostScript fans,
-
- I am loooking at the various kinds of public domain PostScript type 1
- fonts, one can find on the internet.
-
- Using archie I could find the mac archive at umich (and several places
- mirroring that archive), but all those sites carry the fonts in mac
- Binhexed, compacted (sit, cit,...) formats. As we are using Unix
- platforms, (on top of hundreds of Mac's and PC), we need to generate the
- pfa or pfb forms of those fonts. As I would not like to spend several
- hours before a mac to unpack those hundreds of fonts, to decide which
- ones are worthwhile (please do not flame me for not bying professional
- fonts, we have bought for several 1000 USD worth of fonts from Adobe),
- it would be nice to know whether some site does not carry them in pfa
- or pfb format already.
-
- Thanks for your help.
