Subject: 11. Vendor Information
  
  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, 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.

       FontHaus is a manufacturer of typefaces and a licensed reseller for
       Adobe, Monotype, Bitstream, Elsner+Flake, Giampa Textware,
       Treacyfaces, Panache Graphics, and others around the world.
  
       FontHaus discounts most Adobe fonts up to 40% off list price, and
       have CD-ROM discs available so you can buy individual fonts instead
       of entire families. All their fonts are available in Macintosh Type
       1; most are also available in PC format; and a growing number are in
       TrueType format. In addition, some type manufacturers support other
       platforms through thier CD-ROM font libraries (i.e. Monotype for Mac,
       PC, or NeXT). Contact them regarding availability for the fonts and
       formats you want.
  
       FontHaus ships internationally and also has several agents overseas,
       although these agents may not have everything available as the main
       office here in the US.
