[comp.lang.postscript] Looking for fonts...

bowen@sunybcs (Devon E Bowen) (03/22/88)

We're looking to build our PostScript font library. Right now we've only
got the very basics (ok, so we've only got what's built into the LaserWriter+)
but I'm looking into converting our current bit maps into PostScript code.
Rather than duplicate efforts, I'm looking for any fonts already in PostScript
format. Public domain is prefered, but names of vendors would also be helpful.
Thanks.

I'm looking for the following typefaces in (preferably hinted) Postscript form.

	Times
	Garamond
	Baskerville
	Bembo
	Bodoni
	Univers
	Gill Sans

I have _no_ idea what are the names of the big type foundries in this context.
I _do_ know that some of these typefaces have multiple "implementations", e.g.
even Adobe sells a number of "Garamonds".  So, how do I find out what the best
variant of each of these fonts is?
