Regarding greyscale bitmap fonts for the Mac II: There is something serious happening here. Cricket is having a war with one of the slide film priting companies over anti-aliased fonts. Everybody wants to have this technology ready first on the Mac II. I have seen and have some color fonts for the Mac II, that appear to exist in the public domain. They include 30-36 points sizes of: Vice, Shades, Zebra, and Embossed. Several Type houses are preparing multibit fonts for the Mac II, but are all being very quiet. About getting somebody who's an expert on typography in here: I know some former employees of Bitstream (now running their own place) whom I may be able to get in here. It invluves getting them access to Usenet. One of their employees has access, so this might happen, but don't hope too much. If anybody has _any_ multibit fonts for the Mac II (i.e. NFNTs in any size or type, color or greyscale) I'll take 'em! I have been dying to get a replacement for Chicago done in 8 bit or 24-bit, but nobody has a program to allow multibit font design on the Mac. If you can help, let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Alexander M.
