From: dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us (Dave Platt) Subject: TrueType conversion of Thomas font [part 1 of 7] Date: Sat, 13 Apr 91 20:41:51 -0800 (PST) This posting contains a convertion into TrueType format of the Thomas font. What follows is a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive containing the Thomas PostScript font as it was originally received by me (bitmap, downloadable PostScript file(s), and perhaps documentation and/or AFM files). I've added a suitcase file which contains a TrueType version of the font, created by FontMonger 1.0. Generic statement: I am not the author of this font; I'm simply converting it as a service to the Mac community. I believe that it's legitimate for me to convert and redistribute this font... if you feel otherwise or have information to the contrary, please contact me via email. If this is a shareware font, please honor the author's shareware request if you use either the PostScript or TrueType version of the font. A description of this font, from the author: > Thomas is a Postscript font for the Laserwriter and compatibles (i.e. > Linotronics) that was made using Fontographer and Fontastic by Altsys. > The font is a slightly antique looking book face best shown in 9 or 10 > points but perfectly suitable for larger display uses. The face is > based on Caxton - a font named after William Caxton, the > printer/publisher who first published Chaucer's works. > > "Thomas" is not yet fully implemented. It is missing all of the > accented uppercase letters (though the lowercase accented characters > are completed) and many of the special characters are missing. I had > lost the creative will to complete them by the time I finished fussing > with the main alphabet. I intend to do them sometime soon and will be > happy to provide you with the completed font if you will leave me a > message. > > The font is free for your personal use and you are welcome to give the > files to friends or post them on other bulletin boards and services. > The files include the downloadable font and the metrics file, which > need to reside within you system folder, and the bit-mapped screen > fonts in the sizes I use most (9,10,12,28 and 36). If you have > comments or suggestions please leave a message for me on GEnie. > > David Dowe > XTH04747 --- Dave Platt dplatt@snulbug.mtview.ca.us (domain/MX) or apple!snulbug!dplatt (uucp path) or dplatt%snulbug.uucp@apple.com (non-MX Internet) -- cut here -- begin Thomas.sit.hqx -- part 1 of 7 -- (This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0) sqd逗:hmZ g=B2)1CEVcRO\)|-P <#v yצD=~ 񜿦wZ*Ic/ a)ntر:?ٸ.M9>ԯaGM/yfph")yq@WWȵ<\ ^lӶA% y~BYRQUO5Oj^G`ߥКAڤ,|g8rlpί닜sggtO+NV3KR 3%^^ޤ x^-h[ dpMw֛biJ^fȯU9?hoo vC*b0jg?lF}=py% d n~:n9i]v<mJ-؃B߼Xg3d313("QRelsg:K8\ -,^/ .
