These are the "Mac The Knife" set of fonts; it was originally sold through
Miles Computing. I bought the set when they came out -- excellent display
fonts from the Underground daze... Miles, I believe, has gone out of
business, but I'm pretty sure Dubl Click Software (18201 Gresham St.,
Northridge, CA 91325) has bought a lot of their stuff up for their own
Wetpaint clip art and World Class Fonts -- I know they grabbed a lot of Mac
the Knife's clip art.
Good stuff, but all bitmapped...

for the Ferarri?"

would have made a bigger
dent."
