[Novice Alert!] I'm in need of a Cyrillic Sans-Serif font of good quality for a reasonable price (and no, I really don't know what a reasonable price would be!). This is a font that would be down-loaded to 2 different laser printers from a VAX-VMS system, so a cartrige type font won't work, I need it in a data file that I can include into my programs. I also need metric info. I've never bought a font before, and don't really know what I'm doing here. I don't read any PC or MAC magazines, but I could probably lay my hands on some if I knew which to look at. Both printers will, of course, handle type 1 fonts. I imagine that's what I need, as I need good quality, but I don't really know for sure. I don't actually have a laser printer yet, btw, so even if I found a PD font, I couldn't evaluate it yet :-(. (Of course that doesn't mean I'm not interested, just that I'd want testimonials.) Please send me contact info for vendors, or places to look for ads, or (especially) specific information on a particular font, and where I can get it. Vendor responses are more than welcome. This is probably such a common question, email me the answers. I'll distribute to anyone that wants them, or summarize to the group if there are lots of requests. -- Terry Poot <tp@mccall.com> The McCall Pattern Company (uucp: ...!rutgers!ksuvax1!deimos!mccall!tp) 615 McCall Road (800)255-2762, in KS (913)776-4041 Manhattan, KS 66502, USA
