All kinds of fonts. As long as it's not election day, I'll take any Tuesday. Check out Fish disk 135, which contains 78 fonts (22 fonts at different sizes). The fonts are in TeX "pk" format; a converter program (TeXF) is also supplied on the same disk to convert the fonts to AmigaDOS format. They're not multi-colored & they're not too wild (meaning no Zapf Dingbats), but they are pretty (if TeX uses it, it's pretty), and some are big enough for video titling work (>100 pixels). Theoretically you can use the converter program to convert *any* TeX font into an AmigaDOS font. The problem is, the version of the converter on Fish disk 135 has a bug that prevents this from happening; you can do it, but it takes some head scratching. There's a new version of converter (TeXF version 2.6) out there somewhere; that is the one you need if you want to convert other TeX fonts... If you can't find it, I can mail you a shar file.
