briand@tekig4.TEK.COM (Brian Diehm) (12/15/88)
For those who can ftp to my site, the requested LW+ NFNTs are available.
The filenames are:
avantgarde.hqx
bookman.hqx
courier.hqx
helvetica.hqx
helveticanarrow.hqx
newcentury.hqx
palatino.hqx
symbol.hqx
times.hqx
zapfchancery.hqx
zapfdingbats.hqx
For those who have asked, these were created by taking the fonts from Adobe,
and using Fontastic (latest version) to convert them into NFNT families. That
sounds simple, but it turns out to have taken a great deal of time to massage
the Adobe versions into a form that both the Font/DA Mover and Fontastic would
like. Then they could be converted, and after that, the font numbers had to be
re-established because Fontastic thinks you shouldn't be allowed to use the
Apple-reserved numbers. ResEdit was required here.
The point is, the process was automated, and the fonts are clean and tested.
Each file on my account has been re-downloaded, un-BinHex'd, un-StuffIt'd, and
put into my system folder, and then printed with all style variations.
I will be sending these to Roger Long, moderator of the binaries group. He has
been leery in the past of copyright violations, and refused to post some work
that people did in creating larger-version screen fonts of Apple fonts, for
example a 24-point Los Angeles. He was wary of intellectual-rights violations.
I do not know whether he will feel the same way about these. If he refuses to
post them and you still need these, email me a request and we will work some-
thing out. If nothing else, we can use disks via usnail.
Read the header of the files for important information!!!
