I have just posted my PostScript chess font named "Cheq" to comp.sources.misc. The posting is in five parts: 1 : the ascii version of the downloadable font (Cheq) 2 : the Font Metrics (AFM) file, the TeX .PL file, and and an example text file using Cheq 3 : the Macintosh printer font (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format) 4 : the Macintosh screen fonts (10,11,12,14,16,18, and 24 point) in NFNT resource format (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt file) 5 : Macintosh text examples of Cheq (Binhex'd compressed StuffIt file) The IBM PC version of the font (for Windows and Ventura Publisher) are not yet completely tested and will posted at a later date. All "Cheq" data will also be available on CompuServe and the Adobe PS fileserver (send e-mail to "ps-file-server@adobe.com" containing the word "help" for more information). If you need the bitmap files in their original ascii (BDF) format for *your* conversion into some other format, please contact me. As a personal request: If you like Cheq, and decide to use it, please drop me a line letting me know. I just want to know how many people actually are interested in this font, and if it was worth all my spare time.
