Re: speedos supplemental printer fonts

Manuel, as far as I know, the Bitstream free distribution of Charter is in Postscript and TT format only. As it's a very nice font, perhaps we can persuade them to make a Speedo distribution as well. It would all depend on how hard it would be for them to generate a Speedo font from their mother data, which is all in Ikarus format (the highest resolution of all font formats). It may be as simple as pressing a button, or it may not. There is also the problem that Speedo fonts are supposed to have large character sets, and Bitstream may not have that data for everything that one might request.
Bill, See, for example, this link: http://storage.atari-source.com/atari/mirrors/ftp.lip6.fr/pub/atari/Text/speedo.tgz This file includes Courier and Charter, very common in Linux distributions. For example, perform a search for "XFree86-fonts-speedo" and you will find packages that contain contain Speedo fonts. Best regards, Manuel Castelao
