I have just posted my PostScript chess font named "Cheq" to 
comp.sources.misc. The posting is in five parts:
        1 : the ascii version of the downloadable font (Cheq)
        2 : the Font Metrics (AFM) file, the TeX .PL file, and
                and an example text file using Cheq
        3 : the Macintosh printer font (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format)
        4 : the Macintosh screen fonts (10,11,12,14,16,18, and 24 point)
               in NFNT resource format (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt file)
        5 : Macintosh text examples of Cheq (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt file)

The IBM PC version of the font (for Windows and Ventura Publisher) are
not yet completely tested and will posted at a later date.

All "Cheq" data will also be available on CompuServe and the Adobe
PS fileserver (send e-mail to "ps-file-server@adobe.com" containing
the word "help" for more information). 

If you need the bitmap files in their original ascii (BDF) format for
*your* conversion into some other format, please contact me.

As a personal request: If you like Cheq, and decide to use it, please
drop me a line letting me know. I just want to know how many people
actually are interested in this font, and if it was worth all my spare time.

Enjoy!
