Ported Mac fonts would be nice indeed, though you would have to be careful
about aspect ratio and getting the point sizes correct.

I suspect, though, that most of the Mac fonts are copyrighted and licensed
for use by the software companies that use them. Ditto on the ST. At last
rumor, Bitstream was creating a set of fonts for Atari for a huge fee. It's
a lot of work, and very little is free...

If you are a "do-it-yourself"-er or a developer, Migraph (the "EasyDraw"
folks) has a full GEM font editor which can create new and modify existing
standard GEM fonts. They haven't marketed it because they don't know who
wants it. It isn't perfect, but it makes the drudge work of font editing
go easier. You can fill, erase, invert, copy, rotate, and shift each character
or a range of characters. You can also expand a smaller font into a larger
one.

I'm biased. I wrote it. (But I no longer work for Migraph, and I certainly
won't receive royalties. I just would like to see it put to use!) If you're
interested, call them at (206) 838-4677 or write:
Migraph, Inc., 720 S 333rd #201, Federal Way, WA 98003.
