    Bitstream Fonts in May 2005 at http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream totaling 350 font families with a total of 1357 font styles The former Bitstream typeface libraries consisted mainly of forgeries of Linotype fonts and of ITC fonts. See the list below on the pages 24–29 about the old Bitstream Typeface Library of 1992. The 2005 Bitstream typeface library contains the same forgeries of Linotype fonts as formerly and also the same ITC fonts, but it also includes a lot of new mediocre „rubbish fonts“ (e.g. „Alphabet Soup“, „Arkeo“, „Big Limbo“), but also a few new quality fonts (e.g. „Drescher Grotesk“, „Prima Serif“ etc.). On the other hand, a few old fonts (e.g. „Caxton“) were removed. See the list below on pages 1–23. The typeface collection of CorelDraw comprises almost the entire former old Bitstream typeface library (see the list below on pages 24–29) with the following exceptions: 1. A few (ca. 3) forgeries of Linotype fonts are missing in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. the fonts „Baskerville No. 2“ (= Linotype Baskerville No. 2), „Italian Garamond“ (= Linotype Garamond Simoncini), and „Revival 555“ (= Linotype Horley Old Style). 2. A lot (ca. 11) of ITC fonts are not contained in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. „ITC Berkeley Oldstyle“, „ITC Century“, „ITC Clearface“, „ITC Isbell“, „ITC Italia“, „ITC Modern No. 216“, „ITC Ronda“, „ITC Serif Gothic“, „ITC Tom’s Roman“, „ITC Zapf Book“, and „ITC Zapf International“.

  • BOONDOX Math Alphabets

    BOONDOX Math Alphabets

    BOONDOX math alphabets Michael Sharpe msharpe at ucsd dot edu The BOONDOX fonts are PostScript versions of subsets of the STIX fonts corresponding to regular and bold weights of three alphabets—calligraphic, fraktur and double struck, aka blackboard bold. Support files are provided so that they can be called up from LATEX math mode using the commands \mathcal, \mathbcal, \mathfrak, \mathbfrak, \mathbb and \mathbbb. The font family name derives from the fact that, at least in the US, the phrase “in the boondox” implies “in the stix.” The base PostScript fonts were constructed from STIXGeneral.otf and STIXGeneralBol.otf using a FontForge script, resulting in zxxrl8a.pfb % BOONDOXDoubleStruck-Regular zxxbl8a.pfb % BOONDOXDoubleStruck-Bold zxxrw8a.pfb % BOONDOXCalligraphic-Regular zxxbw8a.pfb % BOONDOXCalligraphic-Bold zxxrf8a.pfb % BOONDOXFraktur-Regular zxxbf8a.pfb % BOONDOXFraktur-Bold together with the corresponding .afm files. (The names are almost Berry conformant: the initial z warns that they break the rules, and the font id xx is completely unblessed by any authority. The remaining parts are nearly OK, except that the font lack many glyphs normally in 8a encoding, but all glyphs are in the correct slots.) Using afm2tfm, the afm files were transformed to raw tfm files (kern information discarded) zxxrl7z.tfm zxxbl7z.tfm zxxrw7z.tfm zxxbw7z.tfm zxxrf7z.tfm zxxbf7z.tfm zxxrow7z.tfm % same as zxxrw7z, less oblique zxxbow7z.tfm % same as zxxbw7z, less oblique which serve as the basis for further virtual math fonts. Finally, using FontForge scripts and manual adjustments to the metrics to suit my personal taste, produces (no pretense of using Berry names): 1 BOONDOX-r-cal.tfm BOONDOX-b-cal.tfm BOONDOX-r-calo.tfm BOONDOX-b-calo.tfm BOONDOX-r-frak.tfm BOONDOX-b-frak.tfm BOONDOX-r-ds.tfm BOONDOX-b-ds.tfm and the corresponding .vf files.

    The File Cmfonts.Fdd for Use with Latex2ε

    The file cmfonts.fdd for use with LATEX 2".∗ Frank Mittelbach Rainer Sch¨opf 2019/12/16 This file is maintained byA theLTEX Project team. Bug reports can be opened (category latex) at https://latex-project.org/bugs.html. 1 Introduction This file contains the external font information needed to load the Computer Modern fonts designed by Don Knuth and distributed with TEX. From this file all .fd files (font definition files) for the Computer Modern fonts, both with old encoding (OT1) and Cork encoding (T1) are generated. The Cork encoded fonts are known under the name ec fonts. 2 Customization If you plan to install the AMS font package or if you have it already installed, please note that within this package there are additional sizes of the Computer Modern symbol and math italic fonts. With the release of LATEX 2", these AMS `extracm' fonts have been included in the LATEX font set. Therefore, the math .fd files produced here assume the presence of these AMS extensions. For text fonts in T1 encoding, the directive new selects the new (version 1.2) DC fonts. For the text fonts in OT1 and U encoding, the optional docstrip directive ori selects a conservatively generated set of font definition files, which means that only the basic font sizes coming with an old LATEX 2.09 installation are included into the \DeclareFontShape commands. However, on many installations, people have added missing sizes by scaling up or down available Metafont sources. For example, the Computer Modern Roman italic font cmti is only available in the sizes 7, 8, 9, and 10pt.

    Vision Performance Institute Technical Report Individual character legibility James E. Sheedy, OD, PhD Yu-Chi Tai, PhD John Hayes, PhD The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the legibility of individual characters. Previous work in our lab [2], including the first study in this sequence, has studied the relative legibility of fonts with different anti- aliasing techniques or other presentation medias, such as paper. These studies have tested the relative legibility of a set of characters configured with the tested conditions. However the relative legibility of individual characters within the character set has not been studied. While many factors seem to affect the legibility of a character (e.g., character typeface, character size, image contrast, character rendering, the type of presentation media, the amount of text presented, viewing distance, etc.), it is not clear what makes a character more legible when presenting in one way than in another. In addition, the importance of those different factors to the legibility of one character may not be held when the same set of factors was presented in another character. Some characters may be more legible in one typeface and others more legible in another typeface. What are the character features that affect legibility? For example, some characters have wider openings (e.g., the opening of “c” in Calibri is wider than the character “c” in Helvetica); some letter g’s have double bowls while some have single (e.g., “g” in Batang vs. “g” in Verdana); some have longer ascenders or descenders (e.g., “b” in Constantia vs.
