- Anybody seen a NeXT compatible version of
-
- Optima-Medium
-
- Adobe/RightBrain has Optima and Optima-Bold, but I cannot locate a Mac, PC
- or unix font vendor that has Optima-Medium. My intuition tells me that
- it is one of those 'exists only on "blah"-compatible typesetting systems'.
-
- It seems that our corporate 'signature' is done in this
- font, and if I am to use our NeXTs as a DTP system, I have
- to have that font. Our Mac people have a bitmap image of all
- our signatures, which is fine, but thay are over 10 mbytes in size
- (the bitmaps are set for 1200dpi), and I am hoping for a
- better solution, at least until things like WordPerfect and
- Concurrence support the ability to easily soft-link .eps files.
-
- If anybody knows of a place that is the definitive source for postscript
- fonts, and/or knows where Optima-Medium can be had, I would appreciate
- an e-mail.
