Well folks, just as I predicted, I would screw this up due to my lack of net
experience. I announced (to much popular acclaim) that the Adobe screen fonts
for the LW+, II NT, and II NTX were available to ftp from my site.
I was wrong.
They are there, all right. BUT, our system admin people here at Tektronix are
paranoid that anyone outside the company might actually get logged onto one
of our systems. In order to ftp, you need to log onto a guest account, often
'anonymous.' Or so I am given to understand. However, my system people say
emphatically NO NO NO NO NO, OHMIGAWD SOMEBODY MIGHT GET ONTO OUR SYSTEM AND
READ A BIT OR SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, here's what's going to be done, and how you all can get them. The person
who initially requested the LW+ screen fonts (Willard Korfhage from UCLA,
korfhage@ucla-cs) has offered to make them available for anonymous ftp from
his machine, if I mail them to him. A similar offer has been made by David
Zuhn from the U. of Minnesota (zuhn@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu).
I will email copies of the files to these two gentlemen, and will let them
announce to the world when they have them and they are ready. PLEASE DO THEM
THE COURTESY OF WAITING FOR THEIR ANNOUNCEMENT, they are generously helping
us all.
Therefore, there are three ways you can get these fonts:
1) Wait for Willard and David to make them available via anonymous ftp,
2) Wait for them to be posted to comp.binaries.mac (this is iffy)
3) Give up and mail (U.Snail) me three blank disks, with a stamped self-return
envelope. I promise have them back in the return mail within 48 hours. My
real mail address is:
Brian Diehm
14611 SW Uplands Drive
Lake Oswego, OR 97034
(I will make only reasonable attempts to return things that have improper
postage, insufficient return envelopes, etc.)
4) (You knew there was another way, right?) I can play like Adobe, and you send
me $50 and no disks, and ... ;-) No, not really, I don't want to get in
trouble with Adobe, even by that sincerest form of flattery!
