Calligraphic 421 = Codex, designed by Georg Trump, c. 1954 Freehand 575 = Jefferson Freehand 591 = Bingham Script Gothic 821 is Block, a rather marvellous bumpy German sans of the early teens (BX000807) Orbit-B _may_ be OCR-B (000213) Staccato 555 is Excoffon's Choc, known from restaurant signage everywhere (001153) Arrus is a Bitstream original by Richard Lipton, a Garalde text face, not one I like. 00594, Shelly Allegro, a Matthew Carter original, is worth looking at for an elegant, well-implemented script face. Humanist 970 Bold, 00265, is Adsans Bold, a very curious font, designed for maximum legibility at 4-3/4 points by Walter Tracy for English Lino in 1959. It is a precursor of Verdana. An extremely useful design for very small text. Available in Postscript from Lino but not I think from its licensees such as Adobe. "Classical Garamond" is Sabon, the tri-format metal font designed in the 1960s by . . . what was his name? Jan Tschichold (sp?) 000972, 000279, 000278, 000277 (curse this irrational numeric system) Geometric Slabserif 712 is Rockwell, a proportional ancestor of Courier, 000488 is the extra bold; see related numbers for other members of this family which should not be over-used . . . . Humanist 521 (THE NUMBER IS ALL-IMPORTANT!!!!) is Eric Gill's celebrated Gill Sans, the font Peter thinks looks like Arial, which puts him outside the outside of the pale as far as type appreciation goes -- sorry Peter!; 00293 is the bold italic; 292 is the bold; 291 is the italic; 290 is the regular. The only really usable text face here is Sabon, a favorite of Walter Tracy (see his "Letters of Credit", not cheap, for an excellent, perhaps definitive look at type), which is set in it. A person called Porchez has recently redesigned Sabon for Linotype under the name "Sabon Next" but this of course is not available in Speedo format. Peter is right that it would be nice to have Century Schoolbook (Bookman has never been well-revived, and the Bitstream version, which interestingly comes in a long ascender version, stupidly coded HD for high descender, a misnomer if ever there was one, does not have a true italic.) I will ask my friends at Bistream if it is possible to get a nice Century in Speedo format. Perhaps the best version of all, Ruzicka's Primer from the 1950s, called Century 751 in Bitstream's nomenclature, and available only as roman and italic, might be made available, but I doubt it. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to create Speedo format fonts effectively, outside of Bitstream's proprietary software. There was a 3d party conversion utility early on but it was not worth using. Personally, I put all my XyWrite docs that need to be printed nicely into Quark or even -- ugh -- MS Word. An incomplete cross reference to Bitstream names is available at http://jeff.cs.mcgill.ca/~luc/jonpastor.txt Speedo is internally similar to postscript but does not have hints, hence will never look good on screen.
