    What foundry, Mike? I'd love to add Engraver's to my collection.

    It might be the only font I don't own

    My current fave italic is Galliard, after Matthew Carter.

    Oh, erm, that would be Mr. Carter, eh?

    Bitstream has fronted for so many companies, including Adobe systems, that I can hardly keep the "real" names of typefaces straight. For example, their Exotic 350 is Pegnoit, and they offer three weights.

    I thought CorelDRAW had basically bought Bitstream...good to see they're still kicking in the age of fontface...

    How about handwriting fonts? does anyone have a favourite handwriting font? One of my favourites is Ladylike by Blambot. I like it because it gives a feminine touch and yet is very readable Another new favourite is one of the fonts from the Xara offer Aglio handwriting.

    Ah...but did you notice the Cherokee font in the lower right?

    One of my favorite fonts because it contains the Cherokee Syllabary. Three glyphs pronounced the same as the seven shapes representing English characters.

    The Syllabary and pronunciation guide: http://www.cherokee.org/Extras/Downloads/syllabary.html
    The existing syllabary is the result of using many lead type from several languages rather than creating new lead type to conform with Sequoyah's original symbols. Elias Boudinot made the changes when getting the language ready for the printing press and the Cherokee Phoenix news paper.

    I wondered what that was. I thought it was some sort of initials.
