OK, thanks. But AFAICS, there's only regular roman for free, so I doubt that it would be very useful. Thomas On Dec 7, 2005, at 3:47 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

This one could be a nice testcase / installation exercise http://www.fontshop.com/features/free.cfm? utm_source=ff37&utm_medium=email

Here's the package for the Dingbests symbols.

Why not? It's PD. ;-)

I'd like to prepare some more symbol fonts - any requests? (I always like to do nice font stuff while I should something more important... ;-))

What, you too? There's this, probably this month only, as well: http://www.p22.com/free/snow.html -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Hm, thanks for the link, but I don't find this font very interesting. Do you?

Hrm. Not normally, but as I've been tessellating Arabesque borders lately, the snow font did appeal to me on that level.

I've a huge collection of fonts, and I guess I should finally update the ConTeXt font packages on my homepage and add some nice freeware fonts that aren't online anymore (or do you know a link of Apostrophe Lab?).

I've found most of them on DAFont: http://www.dafont.com/en/author.php?author=128 adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Ah, thank you! Would be a real pity if they would've been lost. BTW I just made a symbol set for HardTalk: http://www.dafont.com/en/author.php?author=128&page=5 I won't post it here (there may be Apuricans on this list)...

I'm finally updating my typescripts and font packages for ConTeXt, see http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-1-4&lang=en

Just checked: $ unzip -l /tmp/apostrophe-avondale.zip | grep map $ unzip -l /tmp/apostrophe-covington.zip | grep map => Nothing. No map file in your zip ? Thanks, -- http://vnoss.org Vietnamese Open Source Software Community

What about Apostrophic Labs' very nice "Hard Talk" (http:// www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=hard_talk) and "Maskalin" (http:// www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=maskalin), Font Environment's "20 Faces" (http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=20faces) and "Tattoo No1 + No2" (http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=tattoo_no1_no2), or Manfred Klein's "Celtish Parts" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/ designers/klein05/pic06/celtish_parts.htm) and "Roots of Matisse" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein/Fonteria_CD/ pages/roots.htm)?

On both websites there is a wealth of free typefaces, in particular Klein's site has an overwhelming abundance, which takes days to explore - even nice are his textfonts "Faustant" (http:// moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/faustant.htm) and "FaustItalic" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/ faustitalic.htm), "UglyQua" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/ designers/klein04/text02/uglyqua.htm) and "Old Typefaces" (http:// moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein05/text/old_typefaces.htm).

PS: OK, I just noticed that Hraban already has done Hard Talk - thanks a lot!

There is a user group font cd project going on (planned launch eurotex 2006). Any input/help is welcome. http://fontcd.gust.org.pl/FrontPage you can add links to free fonts there (on the links page) - we need to make sure that they may be redistributed by user groups - we need metrics and such Hans

Thank you very much!

I'm just playing around with your code und found that rotate seems to set its angle globally: In \definesymbol [CC ulp7] [\CeltSymbol{81}] \definesymbol [CC urp7] [{\rotate[270]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}] \definesymbol [CC lrp7] [{\rotate[180]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}] \definesymbol [CC llp7] [{\rotate[90]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}] each of the rotated symbols is rotated 90�

What can I do?

use rotation=270 instead -) in your case, also play with: % \dostepwiserecurse{0}{360}{10} % {\startlinecorrection[blank] % \hbox % {\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]}% % \traceboxplacementtrue % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=depth] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (depth)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=fit] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (fit)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=broad] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (broad)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=normal]{\ruledhbox{\bfb (normal)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=high] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (high)}}}}} % \stoplinecorrection} Hans
