I got 'em all (most of 'em anyway). Can you private message here? If you give me your email address I can mail them to you.

[edit]Also, Mac or PC or Both?


don't you?!?

Can I email you at your site?


don't you?!?

Well, it's almost 5 on a Friday so I dropped you a line at your site to let you know that I created MAC and PC versions of the fonts that you needed and hosted them so you can d/l them. Check wherever your form submissions go and you'll get the address.


don't you?!?

Thanks.

Just so I am clear. . .

.pfm and .pfb fonts are PC
.bin and .afm are MAC

correct? I am using a PC now, MAC in a few weeks.

Thanks.

Mac generally dont have .file extensions unless you specify that you want them. Things like .eps or .pdf are really just for ease of memory or for PC users. As for the ones you mentioned, .bin is for binary compression and can be used on any file but is mostly used in emails. As for .afm I think thats an adobe font extension but I'm not sure. Mac uses what are called Suitcases (there is an extensis proggy that works on pc to recognise em) and the suitcase has what are called Screen fonts in it for the fonts display on screen. Usually included with that are what are called printer fonts which ammount to Post Script files that are used in Post Script printers but these remain outside the suitcase but MUST accompany suitcase if your printing professionally. As for PC fonts, I don't remember but they should be recognized by your system and the MAC fonts should not. If you have a Mac handy, you need to get a program called Mac Link Plus that recognizes all kinds of files and can convert them and such.

zro1zro, I saw your replay for CRO8 about Bell Gothic?s font. I really must find that font (PC) for my work. Can you help me too?

Trading in "not free" fonts goes beyond the remit of this forum so I'm shutting this down (I've already had complaints). I'm surpirsed this wasn't shut 2 years ago
