[comp.text.tex] Universe 65 Font...

marcb@eyrie.img.uu.oz.au (Marc A. Boschma) (01/03/91)

I was wondering if people out there could help us. We are looking for
a Windows vector and/or PostScript (metafont - although not a high piority)
format Universe 65 font. It is our corparate logo font.

Public domain, shareware or commerical it doesn't matter (to a point :)

Please mail replies, and if people are interested I'll post a sumnation.

Thanks in advanace,

Univers (not Universe) package available from Adobe Systems contains
all of the following: 45,46,55,56,65,66,75,76. Univers Condensed contains 
47,48,57,58,67,68. These fonts are PostScript, of course. If you get ATM 
as well, you have the bonus of scalable fonts for on-screen displays.

Univers is also available in a scalable form from CompuGraphics. This format
is the Intellifont format, allowing for scalable fonts for the HP LaserJet
Series III (or other PCL5) printer. Xenographics has a technology for
scalable fonts on-screen.

Support for this type of font in DVI translators is meager, however. The fonts
are not based on the familiar .pk format that the run-of-the-mill DVI
``driver'' can deal with. Anybody out there working on a DVI previewer for 
Windows that works with system fonts like Textures' previewer does with the
Mac OS?
