- It appears that Adobe finally decided to stop ignoring the low-cost font
- bundles from other vendors (Agfa, etc.) and offer their own low-cost font
- bundle. The latest MacWarehouse catalog has the details: 30 fonts plus ATM,
- all for $39. The fonts are AG Old Face Outline, Barmelo Extra Bold, Blackoak,
- Bodoni Poster Condensed, Castellar, Colossalis Bold, Copperplate Gothic,
- Gill Sans Ultra Bold, Gouty Text Lombardic Capitals, Berthold Imago Extra Bold,
- Ironwood, Lithos Regular, Mesquite, Rockwell Extra Bold, Stencil, Runic
- Condensed, Willow, Goll Gans Condensed, Joanna Regular, Joanna Italic, Letter
- Gothic, Prestige Elite, Bellevue, Biffo, Dom Casual, Nuptial Script, Pepita,
- Carta, Minion Ornament, Adobe Wood Types Ornaments 2.
-
- All in all, it looks like an excellent bargain and a good countermove by
- Adobe against TrueType.
-
- There have been some recent messages asking about monospaced fonts. Two of
- the fonts in this package (Letter Gothic and Prestige Elite) are monospaced;
- one is sans-serif and one is serif.
