[comp.sys.mac] Chess Fonts & Icons

gleicher@duke.cs.duke.edu (Michael Gleicher) (01/13/88)

I am about to try to port GNU Chess to the Mac (please do not ask for
it, I'll make it available when I am done).

To try and save some duplicated effort:
	Has Someone done this already?

	Does anyone have a font of chess pieces or a set of icons for
	chess pieces. A set of icons, one for each piece of each color on
	each color of board would be best.

If someone would like to help out by designing such a icon set or font,
please let me know.
This is my first real Macintosh program, so it probably won't have all the
bells and whistles right away. Getting it to play period is more important
that a user interface.

The package called "World Class Fonts" (available from MacWarehouse,
MacConnection and other places for about $50) contains a font called "Odessa"
which is a chess piece font.

you get lots of other stuff for yer dough also.  "World Class Fonts" is
published by Dubl-Click Software in Northridge, CA.
