To Chris Minshall: I got your mail and tried to send Post1.0 to you, but never got a reply. Can you send those fonts? Post is on Xanth in incoming/amiga. To the Net: Does anyone have any postscript fonts for use with Post1.0? I assume that Post will accept any Adobe format font. Thanks, -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Only /\ kxs5829@ultb.isc.rit.edu | |\\ // /--\MIGA kyle@ritcsh.cs.rit.edu | | \X/ Rochester Institute of Technology |

I have been able to collect about 50 PD/Shareware fonts for use with Post, mac BBS's are a good place to look. The PS fonts from mac sources do require some conversion steps though, mainly changing the CR to LF's. BUT, by far the best source of fonts for use with Post is "Outline Fonts for the Amiga" by Gold Disk. This package contains ALL 35 standard Postscript font outlines, and allows you to create postscript fonts, Pro Page fonts, for Amiga bitmap fonts. The fonts are AGFA Compugraphic fonts, which presumably will also be use by the Amiga in workbench 1.4. Best of all they are cheap (for fonts anyway) at around $150.00 for all 35 fonts. (I just picked my package up at HT Electronics in Sunnyvale for $144). tim Replies to above address, or maffett@netcom.uucp
