OK, this should be simple. I need to locate a collection of font samples...
something similar to
This is New York 12 point ABCDEFGabcdefg12345
This is Helvetica 12 point ABCDEFGabcdefg12345
but for as many Macintosh fonts as possible.
Does anyone know of any published font books that I can buy? I'd rather buy
a book than try to assemble one myself from dozens of public domain fonts.

Each sample page has a complete alphabet in 12 point for the 4 basic styles (Normal, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic), sample lines in 6-24 point, and a sample paragraph of random text. Typographers will probably be horrified when they see "Helvetica-Italic" mentioned instead of "Helvetica-Oblique", but that's their problem. If people think it's worth it, I could bundle them all up and post them to one of the mac binary groups. -- Roy Smith, {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
