Short: Symbol fonts, in .pfb format Architecture: generic This is a collection of fonts in Adobe Postscript (.pfb) format. The Adobe font format is superior to the Compugraphic Intellifont format, and of this collection, not all fonts exist as Compugraphic equivalents. So, if possible, use the Adobe version. Programs like PageStream, FinalWriter and TypeSmith directly understand Adobe fonts (load the .pfb files), and using util/libs/type1beta9.lha (found on Aminet Set 2 Disk b) you can use Postscript fonts in any program that understands Amiga fonts, because they are converted on the fly. All fonts in this collection have hints. These are instructions how to make the fonts look good at low resolutions. However not all programs make use of them. In the archive pix/illu/AminetPFonts.lha you find a set of images displaying all fonts of the whole font collection. Also, each archives contains an archive index image and an image for each font. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 21074 10602 49.6% 18-Jan-96 09:19:44 0Symb2_Index.IFF 6759 1953 71.1% 14-Jan-96 07:16:10 OrnamentWoodNormal.afm 3366 2222 33.9% 15-Jan-96 18:10:54 OrnamentWoodNormal.iff 47623 45449 4.5% 12-Jan-96 02:49:26 OrnamentWoodNormal.pfb 4131 1456 64.7% 14-Jan-96 07:20:32 PCOrnaments.afm 3360 2209 34.2% 15-Jan-96 18:15:10 PCOrnaments.iff 49779 46030 7.5% 12-Jan-96 04:09:44 PCOrnaments.pfb 7451 2315 68.9% 14-Jan-96 07:39:30 ShapesThreeDee.afm 4260 2252 47.1% 15-Jan-96 18:25:24 ShapesThreeDee.iff 38649 34859 9.8% 12-Jan-96 08:59:48 ShapesThreeDee.pfb 4193 1204 71.2% 14-Jan-96 07:39:26 ShapesTwoDee.afm 3024 1451 52.0% 15-Jan-96 18:25:22 ShapesTwoDee.iff 31604 27769 12.1% 12-Jan-96 08:59:14 ShapesTwoDee.pfb 8820 3216 63.5% 14-Jan-96 07:40:18 Shpfltnat.afm 2718 1538 43.4% 15-Jan-96 18:25:36 Shpfltnat.iff 46809 43052 8.0% 12-Jan-96 09:08:30 Shpfltnat.pfb 2461 1005 59.1% 14-Jan-96 07:45:06 Sport.afm 764 403 47.2% 15-Jan-96 18:27:54 Sport.iff 35394 31636 10.6% 12-Jan-96 10:17:28 Sport.pfb 1402 659 52.9% 14-Jan-96 07:45:10 Sportsmen.afm 656 419 36.1% 15-Jan-96 18:27:56 Sportsmen.iff 26039 22225 14.6% 12-Jan-96 10:19:58 Sportsmen.pfb 4441 1696 61.8% 14-Jan-96 07:46:10 StarSignsPlus.afm 1998 1213 39.2% 15-Jan-96 18:28:30 StarSignsPlus.iff 36145 32367 10.4% 12-Jan-96 10:41:58 StarSignsPlus.pfb 4486 1652 63.1% 14-Jan-96 07:49:42 Swifty.afm 2044 1159 43.2% 15-Jan-96 18:29:40 Swifty.iff 54655 50948 6.7% 12-Jan-96 11:29:16 Swifty.pfb 4571 1558 65.9% 14-Jan-96 07:49:48 Swingdings.afm 4304 2166 49.6% 15-Jan-96 18:29:46 Swingdings.iff 49226 45498 7.5% 12-Jan-96 11:32:32 Swingdings.pfb 4603 1673 63.6% 14-Jan-96 07:58:26 Transport.afm 2768 1638 40.8% 15-Jan-96 18:34:14 Transport.iff 45862 42106 8.1% 12-Jan-96 14:31:14 Transport.pfb 4705 936 80.1% 14-Jan-96 07:58:38 Triangles.afm 4830 2141 55.6% 15-Jan-96 18:34:20 Triangles.iff 31710 27898 12.0% 12-Jan-96 14:35:34 Triangles.pfb -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 606684 498573 17.8% 04-Nov-95 17:08:06 37 files
