FAQ for comp.fonts: Part Appendix A: Vendor List

Version 1.0.0, Release 02OCT92

Welcome to the comp.fonts FAQ.  This article, posted monthly, describes many
of the basic questions that seem to be repeated frequently on comp.fonts.
Your comments are both welcome and encouraged. 

The FAQ is divided into sections.  The first section is a general overview.
The remaining sections are more-or-less platform specific.  The FAQ is posted
in pieces to avoid clobbering news and/or mail gateways that are incapable
of handling arbitrarily large items.

The sections are:

   Part    I: General Info
   Part   II: Macintosh-specific Info
   Part  III: MS-DOS-specific Info
   Part   IV: *nix-specific Info
   Part    V: Sun-specific Info
   Part   VI: NeXT-specifc Info
   Part  VII: X-specific Info
   Part VIII: Font utilities

Even if you don't use a particular architecture, you may find it helpful to
read the FAQ for that platform at least once.  Some ideas, like font format
conversion, may be relevant to more than one platform even if they are
expressed in platform-specific tools at this time.

After the FAQ is more stable, monthly DIFFs will be posted as well as the
complete FAQ.  

Masumi Abe <abe@adobe.com> contributed the following list of commercial
font vendors.  Since a number of people have suggested other vendors for
fonts (both commercial and shareware), I have taken the liberty of merging
those suggestions into a single vendor list.  If there are any errors in
the following list, please blame norm <walsh@cs.umass.edu>, not Masumi.

I've made some effort to continue Masumi's annotations regarding available
font types, platforms, and languages.  Innacuracies and ommisions are
both present and accidental.  Updates are always welcome.
