Postscript Fonts - README
=========================

The files in this archive are PostScript type 1 fonts.  They were derived
from the GhostScript distribution.  They are all believed to be freely
copyable; see the notes at the beginning of the individual files for
details.  (GhostScript is a freely distributable PD PostScript interpreter).

If you are using Post V1.2 or greater on the amiga all you need to do is
to set up a PSFonts: directory and unarchive these files into it.  Then
check your init.ps file to make sure that the findfont operator is including
it in its search path.

These are not high quality fonts.  Their outlines appear to have been
crudely digitised from bitmaps, and look quite ragged at the larger sizes.
They use only straight lines, not Bezier curves, so the data is much bigger
than it need be.  The character widths are not the same as the standard
fonts, which will cause discrepancies in the page layout.  Although they are
in type 1 format they do not include the "hints" that help the rasteriser to
fit the outlines onto the pixel boundaries.  So they will look ragged at the
smaller sizes too.

Being free, they are a bargain; but if you want good quality output you had
best buy the Adobe Type Manager fonts.
