I hope this isn't a FAQ, but...

Where can I find the infamous "Hershey Fonts" co-ordinate database?  I am not
on the Internet and must FTP by mail.  If you happen to have it on hand and
it's not too much trouble, would you please mail it to me?  Any assistance is
appreciated.  Thanks.

I suppose, this should be in the FAQ answer list.  Use:

IBMExtended from Impramatur Systems in Cambridge Mass, or
PrestigeElite or LetterGothic from Adobe.

IBMExtended may be available only in PC Type 1 format, 
but there are tools out there for conversion to Mac Type 1 format.

Metamorphosis Professional (a Macintosh font conversion utility from Altsys)
is capable of converting between TrueType, Adobe Type 1* and PostScript Type 3
formats in various directions, and it does some hinting as well. It can
generate Type 1 fonts in a format that apparently can be (relatively) easily
installed on a NeXT, and it can generate TrueType fonts in a format that, I
understand, can be installed somehow under Windows 3.1.

I was also able to read a Windows-format TrueType font file on my Mac, but I
forget whether I did that with Metamorphosis or the Fontographer font editor
(also from Altsys). At any rate, my brief inspection of the file indicated
that its contents were identical with that of the corresponding Macintosh
"sfnt" resource, so converting from Windows to Macintosh TrueType format
should be pretty straightforward.

Why do all that?  If you want to convert Truetype from Mac to Windows 3.1 
do the following:

download xbin and unstuffit from wuarchive in /mirrors/msdos/mac

download the font.sit.hqx file from a mac truetype font site (there are
quite a few of these, including wuarchive.wustl.edu in the umich archives
mac/truetype area)

xbin the mac file
xbin -n and give the file an 8 character name if you get an error

you want to strip off the resource fork from the mac file, so look for a file
called *.dat

unsit xb *.dat

hit return until you get a *.ttf file

extract it

VOILA!

Thanks to my wonderful significant other (Tim Russell) who figured this out.

Note: This doesn't work for *.cpt.hqx files because they use a different
archiver.  Note also that sometimes this won't work if the data file isn't
readily available.  But I've had pretty good luck so far and have converted
the fleurons.sit.hqx from mac to win31.  

Not feeling like spending sixty bucks just yet.  Also, there are already
converted files on cica.cica.indiana.edu, which is now up again in
/win3/fonts/truetype

There is a "Pixel" font in one of the files on

I think the FontShop that company in Canada Carry that typeface! "BEO".

In fact the new version of IKuras-M also have a similar function too!
They will take your type face and run a ramdom jazgg edge on the font.
And you can kind of control the roughness by type some number and tell
the program which direction you want for the rough edge! They call this 
effect is antiquing (which similar metal type!?)

You can call Ikuarus their number is 603-882-7445 to look for Karen Dumond.

For the Mac, there is also the shareware PostScript font IBMKlone,

The type is called "Eco-type" and in an article the Economist stated that
they would market it after keeping it exclusive for a while. If anyone
finds out when and where it'll be available, I'd appreciate hearing about
it, too. 

Maybe I'll try writing to Patel. Is he the magazine designer for the
Economist, too? Or did he just design the font? I imagined that they would
have contracted with one of the font foundaries to produce this font, which
has small caps, italics, and a bunch of different weights. It doesn't seem
like the kind of font you could design on the side while still trying to do
another job, too.

Try this... If your machine has "archie" on it (hopefully) do an
archie -e TT
archie -e tt
archie -s truetype
archie -s true-type
and you should find a deluge of spots. The -e flag looks for exact match,
while -s looks for partial string, ignoring case. In fact... Here's
that part of the man page:

     -c          Search substrings paying attention to upper & lower case.
     -e          Exact string match.  (This is the default.)
     -r          Search using a regular expression.
     -s          Search substrings ignoring the case of the letters.
     -l          Output results in a form suitable for parsing by programs.
     -t          Sort the results inverted by date.
     -m#         Specifies the maximum number of hits (matches) to return
                 (default of 95).

Now, we all know. :-) Now. Any word on where TT fonts might be that
AREN'T in compactor or stuffit format? And second question, does anybody

I have a gorgeous book on Typography..  "An Introduction to Typography", Terry
Jeavons, and Michael Beaumont, Chartwell Books Inc.  Secacus NJ  ISBN
1-55521-560-2, it is originally British, and is sort of a cross between a
coffee table art book and a text on typography.  Quite a bit of information on
fonts and on the reasons why fonts are designed the way they are.  It's loaded
with beautiful color illustrations of documents, posters, advertisements
showing things about publishing.
