[comp.fonts] What fonts are Aplga and Cheq?

chang hsu liu <cliu@copper.ucs.indiana.edu> (04/11/91)

I saw two Adobe fonts (printer's fonts for Mac) named Aplga and
Cheq in my office. I could not view them because no equivalent
screen fonts available. Can someone tell me their screen fonts
names. If I cannot find their screen fonts, is there a way to 
use them for printing or ATM?

Thanks in advance.

Cheq is the chess font which newspaper have used since god knows
when (I saw a stack of california cases full of the chess font in metal
down in our library basement) for setting those interesting & bizarre
Chess columns.

Aplga is Apple's own version of Garamond.  It is, for the most part, a
condensed version of ITC Garamond with extremely tight kerning.  To
look at Apple Garamond, simply just look at any Apple ad, or product name:
all of these are Aplga or variations on it.
