[comp.text] chess-font for TeX

joost@nixvia.UUCP (joost helberg) (06/06/89)

I'm looking for a chess-font.

A colleague of mine gives a lecture about chess-games on computers 
in december and I want to use an overhead-projector to show the
vaious possibilities on a checker-board.

Printing a chess-board is aesy using the 'gray'-fonts delivered with
the Beebe-family, for the chess-pieces I have no font available.

Unfortunately I can't use fonts in METAFONT-format, our pascal-compiler
didn't (in all its subsequent releases) compile the source right.

So if anyone out there has a chess-font, send me a message, I'll send
a tape/cartridge with return-postage.

There was an article in a recent issue of the TUGboat about printing
chess using standard TeX fonts.
