Subject: CachexThin, a TrueType Font


This is a truetype font for Mac.. it's been hand-drawn, it's sort-of tall

From: "Rev. Feorag NicBhride" <feorag@antipope.org>
Subject: Dearmach TT - a typeface inspired by the Book of Durrow


Dearmach is inspired by the Book of Durrow, an Insular manuscript

those characters which did not exist at the time (including all the   
numerals) are my own creation. Apart from a few of the mathematical   
symbols, this font has an complete character set.

#### BINHEX     japanese-font-package-30.hqx   ****

From: Mike McGee <inaka@pacbell.net>
Subject: Japanese Font Package 3.0

What is the Japanese Font Package?

The Japanese Font Package is a collection of Hiragana, Katakana and some 
special characters that are unique to Japanese. The use of these 
characters is made possible through a keyboard layout similar to those 
used in Japan. Rather than using Romanji, each character can be written 
with the push of a button!

The Japanese Font Package includes pictures of the entire Japanese 
keyboard which have been provided in various graphics formats. (PICT, GIF 
and JPEG)  It is recommended that you print out the keyboard layout and 
use it to determine which Japanese characters you wish to type.

Each key is given a special Japanese character as it's output.  The 
character to the right of the standard letter, is the hiragana or 
katakana key that will be printed when entered.

What files are included with this font package?

The Japanese Font Package includes essentially four things:

1.  Hiragana Textbook font.  This font comes complete with a bitmapped 
version, a TrueType version, and a PostScript Type 1 version  (for use 
with ATM).

2.  Katakana Textbook font.  This font also comes complete with a 
bitmapped version, a TrueType version, and a PostScript Type 1 version  
(for use with ATM).

3.  Keyboard Layout Folder.  Inside this folder there are 3 images of the 
hiragana and katakana layout you will use.  These files are all 
identical, however they have been converted into different graphics 
formats for easy viewing/printing.  These formats are, PICT, GIF and 
JPEG.  Use your favorite graphics program to print out the    layout for 
use with typing in Japanese.

4.  This manual!  This manual should answer all of your questions, 
however if you still have questions or comments, you can send email to:  
inaka@pacbell.net

PRICE: Just $15 US. (Shareware)

#### BINHEX     virtue-211.hqx   ****

From: wamozart@teleport.com
Subject: Virtue 2.11 TrueType font--a replacement for Charcoal


Virtue
version 2.1, March 21, 1998
Copyright ©1997-1998 Marty P. Pfeiffer at Scooter Graphics.
Price: Free!

Virtue is my improvement of Apple Computer's "Charcoal" font appearing in 
Mac OS 8.

About Virtue:
There is a lot of controversy about Charcoal, and honestly, I think that 
most of it is unjustified. Basically, a lot of people did not want this 
font to appear in the Mac OS 8. I think that this feeling is based on a 
"reverse-engineered" font developed by Greg Landweber for his Aaron 
extension and Kaleidoscope control panel. Greg built his font from 
looking at various screenshots and did a good job at making a very 
complete font. However, the spacing information and special characters 
characters seemed a little off to me. It seems that Apple couldn't decide 
whether Charcoal should have two pixels between the letters or just one. 
This leads to a cramped appearance on screen.

So here's what I did: basically, I took his work and tried to space it 
how I would if I was making Apple's next font. I studied the "Chicago" 
system font and and used it as a template for my font. After about 2 
hours of tinkering, I had a bitmap font that looked really good as a 
replacement font for Kaleidoscope. About a week later, after tinkering 
some more, I made even more improvements.

And then I decided to create a regular weight of Virtue to go along with 
it. I tried to carry the unique features of Virtue into Virtue Light. 
It's currently just a 12 point bitmap font, but I thought that it might 
be useful for those of us who have smaller screens or are just tired of 
looking at bold fonts all day. I'd love to hear any comments you may have 
about Virtue-Light.
