From the names, it seems these are >commercial fonts sold by Adobe or ITC or whoever for $150+? I've downloaded them and looked at em, and they do appear to be Adobe issue. I believe Garamond is a very specific font by Adobe, and all of them seem to be of REALLY high (read Commercial) quality. I downloaded the earlier known PD/Shareware fonts, and none of them look as good as these. Also, most PD/Shareware fonts aren't designed as something you would write a book in, while these things are (for the most part), text you would use for good looking titles or printing. Furthermore, they are whole font families, in many cases including bold and italic. Most PD/Shareware fonts seem to be just one typeface. I'm quite suspicios. Glen, are you out there? Could someone please definatly tell us the status of these fonts? On a related topic, can you buy individual font families, and if so, how much are they? (If Brush Script is Adobe issue, I'd like a ligit copy of it, and I am also intersted in getting the Sonata font. The rest of the fonts I could cair less about. I'm a Times/Courier kinda guy.) -- Nicholas C. Weaver nweaver@soda.berkeley.edu It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, .signifying nothing.
