- Thanks for the pointer to "Tekton". I found a font purporting to be a
- PostScript "Architect" on ftp.cica.indiana.edu [129.79.20.84]. The author
- gives credit to Adobe in the readme:

- > It was inspired by Adobe's font Tekton.

- The font unpacks, apparently successfully, under PC-DOS using PKUNZIP, but
- the .PFB and .PS files are screwy. Perhaps this is a result of trying to
- pack a Mac file into a DOS archive?
-
- Has anyone else had any success with this font? I'd write the author, but
- his address in the readme file got munged along with the font. I'd appreciate
- any confirmations and/or work-arounds.
