[net.micro.mac] Request for Princeton Font source

bill@hao.UUCP (Bill Roberts) (11/15/85)

Does anyone out in netland have the source for the Princeton Fonts package?
If so, could you either post it to net.sources.mac (as I know many others
are requesting it) or send it to me via e-mail.  Mucho thanks in advance.

     I've heard a lot about the Princeton math font.  With all due respect
to those that made it, I don't think it (at least the versions I've seen)
can compare with the Dayton Fonts package from Plugh Software.  This
has over 700 (!) symbols in it.  It works in a neat way:  each size (10 point,
12 point, etc) has different symbols in it.  It also has tools for creating
multiple line symbols in MacWrite or Word, like matrices or partial diff-
erential equations.  It was designed by a math professor, and as a math 
student I find it invaluable.

    It costs $31.95.  I'm sorry I don't have the address handy, but check
the Get Info column of the August '85 issue of MacWorld.  It comes with
documentation showing the position of each character on the Mac keyboard.

    As for your original request, sorry, I erased my Princeton fonts
after getting the Dayton ones.
