An APL postscript font was distributed free of charge at the conference APL90. I have not tried it yet, but I do have a copy. This font was developed by Adrian Smith, editor of Vector, the APL publication of the British APL Association. I am not certain, but I think that Adrian started with a scanned image of 2741 APL typeball characters, and edited these to produce the final results. I understand that it is a "line font", and it expands quite nicely to large sizes. I saw examples of several letters and numbers, each on a full sheet of paper. They looked good at that scale, and the look good at publication size in "Vector". I understand that they can be used together with TeX, but have not tried them myself. I am willing to e-mail these on a limited basis to anyone who writes.
