Does anyone know of any places where cheap postscript fonts for the Mac
are available?

I have been able to get the index, but I have not yet been able to ftp the actual fonts themselves. Their ftp server seems to be somewhat unusual...

(Thanks mike!!). To get the file, after you do a cd pc2:, you should issue commands like: ftp> recv fo/author author It will put the file fo/author into author in your current directory. Mike told me the other end is a mac, not a unix machines. Hope that helps. --yufeng ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IIII Yufeng Tsui, UCS of Indiana University.

Unfortunately for me, I have a Unix machine. Is there a description
(or even source) somewhere for undoing BinHex 4.0 and StuffIt packing?
Without this, I am lost!

I just tried to find the same thing out to look at these fonts. Thanks to Tim Waire, I found that there are programs available by anonymous ftp from sumex-aim (36.44.0.6) to undo binhex and stuffit. They are in info-mac/unix and are unsit-15.shar and mcvert-15.shar. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out anything useful to do with the fonts once I got them. (Anyone know how to convert these mac fonts to generic bitmaps?) Ken Shirriff shirriff@sprite.Berkeley.EDU "I'll get my revenge on all of society! I'll build a mighty criminal empire!"

(Anyone know how to convert these mac fonts to > generic bitmaps?) You might want to try the unAdobe utility (also available on sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6) as info-mac/util/un-adobe.hqx). UnAdobe doesn't convert the fonts to bitmaps, but it does extract the postscript code from Type 1 faces; you can then include the code in your own postscript programs. Here's the blurb from unAdobe's header: unAdobe is an application that converts an Adobe type 1 font into printable ASCII characters that can be edited into a postscript document.

Sorry... I forgot to mention that unAdobe is a Macintosh utility. To use it you'll have to move unAdobe and your fonts to a Mac, process the fonts, and move the resulting Postscript code back to your original machine.
