Can anyone give me a clue as to where I can find a (if possible, free) font suitable for typesetting fancy "engraved" invitations using TeX? I will be forever in your debt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Malouf ugmalouf@cs.buffalo.edu Graphics Consultant ACSGRPM@UBVMS.CC.BUFFALO.EDU State University of New York at Buffalo V103PDUZ@UBVMS.BITNET

Zapf Chancery (tm) might be a nice font for invitations. OK, it's not a TeX font, but some sites have DVI drivers that allow access to PostScript fonts. Ask your local guru. Ken

The article "The ABC's of Special Effects" by Georgia K. M. Tobin, published in the latest issue of TUGboat (9.1 (1988), pp.15--18) has some intriguing examples of fancy 3-D and other fonts, generated in a clever, but really quite simple way from the CM fonts. All you need is a working version of Metafont, and Tobin's MF code will produce the special effects shown.

Hello, on our machine we have fonts called `esch80' and `coron' for use with TeX. We have only one PXL-file in an useless size. Does anybody know, where I could get either the METAFONT input files for this fonts or PK-files (or PXL-files) for density 300dpi? Thanks, Arnd.
