If I remember correctly, these are part of a package called "Mac the knife" which is a really nice clip art collection which includes fonts, the ones you named. I may be mistaken, it's been a few years since I got this stuff. -Andy Andy J.

These are the "Mac The Knife" set of fonts; it was originally sold through Miles Computing. I bought the set when they came out -- excellent display fonts from the Underground daze... Miles, I believe, has gone out of business, but I'm pretty sure Dubl Click Software (18201 Gresham St., Northridge, CA 91325) has bought a lot of their stuff up for their own Wetpaint clip art and World Class Fonts -- I know they grabbed a lot of Mac the Knife's clip art. Good stuff, but all bitmapped... "Not bad. Were you aiming for the Ferarri?" "Yeah, but I thought it would have made a bigger dent." --- Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer INTERNET: moriarty@tc.fluke.COM Manual UUCP: {uw-beaver, sun, microsoft}!fluke!moriarty CREDO: You gotta be Cruel to be Kind... <*> DISCLAIMER: Do what you want with me, but leave my employers alone! <*>
