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,
