I'm looking for fonts, especially PostScript dingbat fonts. All the public-domain ones I've used are old, blocky and look ugly on a laserprinter. Does anyone have any good dingbat fonts--PD, please--they could send me? Disk would be fine; I could send an SASE & floppy. I'm also interested in any other PD or shareware fonts too--preferably good lookin' ones. Yes, you guessed it--I got the type bug bad. Blame a 72-page Science-Fiction convention book and no sleep. I'm even (whisper it) considering becoming a Font maker myself to work on those dingbat fonts --like I needed more holes in my time... Also, anyone know the kind soul who made up the font called "Clairvaux"? It's my very favorite serif font, prints just peachy-nice on the IIntx and scales pretty well. But I don't know who made it, or where it came from... ...I'd like to thank them, 'n' find out if I owe them money. Just smellin' the virtual hot lead and creebin' about PageMaker bugs, Alex P.S. If any kind & eager souls are willing to send fonts along without an SASE (bless you!), my address is: Alex Pournelle 1925 East Mountain Street Pasadena CA 91104 I don't use a Mac with a modem, so E-mailing is a process beyond my stomach acids right now. Thanks anyway--the process from UNIX to PC to Mac through LapLink-Mac is too fraught with errors.
