Someone asked:
>Can anyone tell me where I can get/buy outline fonts?
Another source is Image Club Graphics (USA +1 800 661 9410, elsewhere
+1 403 262 8008) in Calgary, which sells PostScript typefaces but
includes Adobe Illustrator files of each letterform for customization.
It is not difficult to interpret an Illustrator file, and to rasterize
it all you will need is the ability to rasterize PostScript splines.
The catalogue that I have in front of me shows about a hundred faces
including many popular ones from ITC, Kingsley/ATF, and VGC. I have
no connection with Image Club, except that one of our clients uses
their fonts for their customizability.
