Subject: 12. Vendor Information

Type/Font Vendors
=================

The following list is based on information from Masumi Abe, Norm Walsh
and many others. I (Don Hosek) have been calling vendors and attempting
to make sure information is up to date. I have removed a number of
vendors who do not sell fonts. Fonts bundled with applications (e.g.,
the bitmap fonts which are part of Quicken) are not considered enough
to merit inclusion in the list. Also, a number of the vendors on the
list actually were selling various printing software but no fonts per
se and were likewise removed. Finally, some companies seem to have
disappeared, most likely gone out of business. I've indicated the
verification date of any information which appears on the list. I would
appreciate aid in contacting those companies which are listed as
unverified (particularly companies outside the US). Please send updates
and corrections to me at [email protected]

**Bitstream Typeface Packages for the PC - 52 packages (most
with 4 faces each) that include a total of over 200 faces,
with mutiple font formats in each package (Bitstream Speedo,
