- DUBIEL POSTSCRIPT FONTS
-
- Dubiel and DubielItalic are Type 1, ATM-compatible PostScript fonts modeled on
- the fonts Torino and Torino Italic. They are similar to a condensed Bodoni,
- except with lighter strokes. They work well both as text and display fonts.
- The bitmap fonts have not been retouched, so screen output will be somewhat
- uneven in small sizes. A TrueType version of this font is also available.
-
- FONT SAMPLES

-
- Both fonts contain a full set of characters, numbers, punctuation and
- diacritical characters. The FOND resources have not been merged, so if you
- have both fonts installed you have to choose the font DubielItalic to get
- DubielItalic -- choosing Dubiel and then the "Italic" style will only slant the
- Dubiel font by 15 degrees. Sad, but true.
-
- Both fonts have more than 200 kerning pairs installed. They should look pretty
- good at 12 points at 300-dpi, and fabulous at 48 points and above. The fonts'
- "signature" characters are located at shift-option-1. You may also be
- interested with the alternative "Apple" characters in the fonts.

- a very recent innovation.
