4531.0. "More on fonts" by DUCK::NONDEP () Thu Feb 21 1991 08:43

    Hello,
    
    I'm looking for a ready made font called "from decdirect source"
    ENGLISH EMBASSY. This is basically letters that look to be attached and
    in the"french" way of writing at school.
    
    Does this exist. I've looked in the conference but no such luck.
    
    Cheers, Patrick

4531.1I need fontsDECWET::DAVISSay what?Thu Feb 21 1991 12:525
    Speaking of fonts, can anyone recommend any of the freely distributable
    fonts?  Is anyone using different fonts in their system environment?

    I cannot remember the file name but TAPE:: had some convereted MAC
    fonts that I downloaded some time back.
    
    I will need to poke around my Amiga to get the file name.  If I find it
    I will reply here.

4531.3Matt Dillon's GENERAL font isn't bad.MEO78B::MANDERSONPhotographers do it in darkroomsFri Feb 22 1991 05:575
    I have been using Matt Dillons General Font (GENFONT). It is a nice
    clean font but makes me squint too much on my interlace screen.

4531.4Is "GENFONT" FD? DECWET::DAVISSay what?Fri Feb 22 1991 12:422
Is this font (GENFONT) freely distributable?  If so, where can I find it?
Anyone else have a favorite font they use in their shells or on the Workbench?

4531.6CLO::COBURNGrowing older, but not up...Sat Feb 23 1991 13:457
    I use pearl for everything that will take - shell, VLT, SEDT etc...
    
    Note VLT requires an 8 and 11 point version of the font - pearl is 8
    point only, I just copied topaz 11 into the pearl directory and ran
    FIXFONTS - now VLTjr works great.

4531.7any font converters.SALEM::LEIMBERGERTue Feb 26 1991 06:407
    I had forgotten about pearl. It is a clean font an i used it until I
    upgraded to 1.3 . Then i let it slip away. RE .0 I haven't come across
    any font like the one you want,and I look quite often. At one time I
    remember seeing a utility that would convert mac fonts, but that was
    long ago so I don't know if it is still around. Remember that a lot of
    stuff kind of died when 1.2 came about .
