Anybody can tell me where I can ftp postscript programs (fonts) for drawing
52 poker cards?

Hiya.  I have the following "suits" done:

alpha phi omega (national service fraternity) -- the service pin
Rolemaster's Channeling icon
	     Essence
	     Mentalism
Star Trek:
the united federation of planets
the klingons
the romulans
the gorn

Illuminati:
the Assassin dagger (the icon of the MIT Assassins' Guild)

and two MIT'isms: LSC and SIPB

note that 1) some of these may be copyrighted (Star Trek, Illuminati, and
Rolemaster most definitely; possibly APO), 2) i had/have no permission to
use them -- i just copied them and used them for my own private use, 
3) some need brushing up (especially the Gorn), and 4) i don't have the
"standard" set yet (spades, diamonds, clubs, hearts).

Nevertheless, if people want the template, i'll gladly send it to whomever.
The template plops the design (whatever it is) into the appropriate spaces.
The cards themselves are standard size.  Scaling needs to be done by hand.
(Sorry; not much of a postscript hacker.)

If people want the more legally-questionable ones, i'll send it to them, unless
someone wants to flame me down for doing them in the first place and/or
politely suggest it's not such a hot idea to distribute.

just only slightly unclear on the concept,
dave
