Adobe Systems is pleased to offer to registered, commercial NeXT developers
the opportunity to purchase, for a nominal fee of $100. (retail value is
$515. plus media cost) and optical disk containing a special set of Adobe
PostScript(1) fonts to aid in the development of software on the NeXT
computer.
This NeXT Developer Font Kit contains the following ten typefaces:
Stone(2) Serif STENCIL
Stone Serif Italic Hobo
Stone Serif Semibold BrushScript
Stone Serif Semibold Italic Sonata(3)
Stone Serif Bold
Stone Serif Bold Italic
The optical disk contains PostScript outlines, screen fonts, and Adobe
Font Metric (AFM) files for each of the above typefaces.
We are making the developer font kit available to ensure that applications
work with the varying font attributes, encodings, and glyph sets available in a wide range of PostScript fonts. Also, for developers creating applications
for setting music, access to the font Sonata (a musical notation font) and its
accompanying documentation will be invaluable.
If you are a registered NeXT developer you should have received an order form
recently in the mail. If you haven't received one, please send proof of your
status as a registerd NeXT developer, and we'll be happy to send you a Font
Kit order form.
For end users, just a quick reminder that Adobe plans to make the entire Adobe
Type Library available for the NeXT computer. Details on pricing and distri-
bution will be announced at a later date. Any input on your needs in the
meantime is welcome.
