[comp.text.tex] UPLOAD: Shalom--PostScript font for printing Hebrew

DHOSEK@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU (Don Hosek) (05/23/91)

Shalom is a type 3 public domain Hebrew PostScript font written by Jonathan
Brecher. It is available from ymir.claremont.edu in
[anonymous.tex.babel.hebrew.fonts-ps-shalom]. Included is a PL file which can
be converted into a TFM for use with TeX. The files were FTP'd from
shum.huji.ac.il on 22-May-1991.

The following is quoted from a message to ivritex:

>...we have "discovered" a public domain type 3
>Hebrew PostScript font,  written by Jonathen Brecher -

>brecher@husc9.harvard.edu

>The author has called his font "Shalom".

>This was originally written using a Mac,  and it contains three styles-
>"old fashioned" letters, Ktav letters and "narrow" letters,
>as well as Nikud. The font seems a little problematic, that is,
>work has to be done in order to make it usable to all.
>I am trying to do the work - it might take a month or so.

dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu  | send a message to mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu
Quixote Digital Typography | with a line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME
714-625-0147               | where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans
---------------------------+ "anonymous") and FILENAME is the filename, e.g.
"send [tex]00readme.txt". There is a list of files in each directory under the
name 00files.txt. Binary files are not available by this technique.
