Well, far from it. The font is remarkably similar to Dom Casual. In fact with
the CorelDraw Dom Casual I have made a spoof "intel outside" logo, which is
now resting on top of my AMD/386-40 based system. So, that much for the guys
doing Intels designing. They should have a "Creativity Outside" stamped all
over their faces. Right.

If you use a MS-DOS PC: The new CorelDraw! 3.0 (as the 2.0 does) includes a

I am currently looking for a font for my Mac that will accomodate importing

tabs and spaces are rather than a clean columnar appearance.  I like the

is a non-proportional font. I am using the saveatree software on Mac and
printing text in as little as 5 pt. type. I have a geneva5-6 pt font but, as
I said, the jagged appearance, yet the character quality is excellent.
I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections to my theory or software
I am using. Thanks in advance and please respond either to one of the above

Hi folks,

Does anyone know the Digital (no, not International) Typeface Corporation (DTC)?
I have seen some of their fonts and they didn't look too bad, although the truth
will only come out at higher resolutions than 300 dpi. However, I found for
example their Bodoni-DTC to be aesthetically preferable to most other Bodonis I
have seen. So, I was wondering, if DTC is any good in the technical department
as well, and if yes, where can I buy these fonts?

Also the designers. After all, it's what they get paid for. I wouldn't
think that having a brochure describing the way logos are handled and
fonts are used is very uncommon. Real big companies also hire font
designers to make a font exclusively for them.

   The latest free IPA fonts to make their appearance are those from
Summer Institute/Wycliffe, which are available for the Mac from
wuarchive.wustl.edu:

/mac/system.extensions/font/type1/silipafonts.sit.hqx
 313     1/10/93    BinHex4.0,StuffIt3.03

   Size: 10,12,14,24
   SILDoulosIPA-Regular, SILManuscriptIPA-Regular, and
   SILSophiaIPA-Regular: serif, monowidth, and sans serif fonts of the
   International Phonetic Alphabet.  Includes TrueType versions.

   These fonts do have non-spacing diacritics, and the docs mention
that there is supposed to be a version designed especially for Windows
(although this apparently hasn't been uploaded anywhere yet).

Sure...

Check out atm-keyt.zip which can be found on wuarchive, down some
obscure directory I can't remember.  It's got 'em all -- even the
shift keys.

Can someone point *me* to a font which contains the extra six or so

I have just whipped up a reasonable TrueType Russian font using
fontographer, the "Courier New" in windows, and my old Russian
typewriter.  The characters are defined to match the CRS tables
of Russian characters, which as far as I can tell match the 
KOI-8 standard used in the former Soviet Union.

If this group has some preferred FTP site, I'd be happy to zap
this font up, although I'm not sure if it would be 100% legal
to send the English characters, since they're copyrighted.  Alternately,
I could create a "Russian-only" version with just my characters.

Anyhow, now that I have a font editor, I plan to create an entire
library of English-Russian fonts, based on the standard families and
some of the nicer Russian familes (like "Izvestia," "25th Party Congress,"
and "CPSU.")  Ant interest out there?  Any place to archive this
stuff?

DTC font sets come bundled with several products, including LaserMaster
printers and Micrografx Designer.

DTC fonts are hinted, but make no use of hint replacement, for example.  
If you have `commercial grade' fonts from other foundries, you may want to
make sure that installation of the DTC fonts does not overwrite them with
fonts that use the same file names...

 Actually, in German one strategy adopted is to move the umlaut dots
apart to accomodate the top of A or O, or inside the top of U:

        
      * /\ *         * /~~\ *     | * * |
       /__\           (    )      |     |
      /    \           \__/        \___/

 Similarly, in printing Greek the accents and breathing marks go
_beside_ capital letters,instead of on top of them.

>Berthold K.P. Horn

A partial solution, and a question:

SOLUTION:  There is a shareware TT/PS font available on CompuServe called
'Video Terminal Screen' that accomplishes this.  The font is a bitmap
representation of the 8x16 textmode character set, smileys, music notes
and all. It is useful for displaying DOS screens in WinWord documents (eg.
user's manuals).

The standard roman font is available for download in the DTPFORUM library
under PCfonts (lib 9). It's called VTSR-?.ZIP (? = T or P). The bold and
italic fonts are available from the author for $10. The bold and italic fonts
are actually the same bitmapped characters re-encoded. The bold font shifts
the 'line drawing characters' down to the 'ABCD' range, and the italic font
shifts the 0-31 range up. This allows you to type in the special characters
using the normal keyboard driver.

This solution is only partial, because I'm not sure that the original poster
wishes to display IBM OEM characters, or simply wants to display unusual
encodings in ANY font. If it is the latter, I suppose he could use the same
trick to make new fonts with the same glyphs, but re-encoded to more access-
ible vectors.


QUESTION:  I haven't heard of the Computer Modern font before. Could someone
mail me something about it and its availability? Is it share- or pay-ware?
