    Vendor Information

Subject: 10.1. Vendor List 

    Masumi Abe 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.

    A representative of Bitstream sent the following correction to me.

    Bitstream offers:

            **1100 PostScript Type 1 fonts for the Mac & PC. (These can
            be ordered direct from Bitstream or thru several resellers.)

            ** Bitstream Type Treasury -- the Bitstream Type Library for
            the Mac (Type 1 format) on CD ROM.

            ** Bitsteram Type Essentials--a series of 4 Typeface
            Packages for PC & Mac that were selected to work well for
            different jobs (Letters, Memos & Faxes; Newsletters,
            Brochures & Announcements; Spreadsheets, Graphs &
            Presentations; Headlines).

            **Bitstream Typeface Packages for the PC -- 52 packages
            (most with 4 faces each) that include a total of over 200
            faces, with mutiple font formats in each package (Bitstream
            Speedo, Type 1, Bitstream Fontware)

            ** Bitstream TrueType Font Packs 1 & 2 for Microsoft Windows
            ** Bitstream PostScript Font Packs 1 & 2 for the PC

            ** Bitstream FaceLift for Windows

            ** Bitstream Li'l Bits -- a new product line of novelty

            Pack.

            We offer OEM customers an extensive range of non-latin type
            (as you have noted in the current listing), but these faces
            are not currently available to individual end-users.

            We also offer font-scaling and rasterizing technology to
            OEM customers.
