zip0 GEOS International Font Pack

Big thanks to Bruce Thomas for another rare GEOS treasure!  Bruce has sent over a two disk set of international fonts along with the complete PDF manual.  Here is an excerpt from the manual:

International Fontpack provides you with 39 fonts for use in geoWrite, geoPaint, and geoPublish. These fonts will enable you to generate a fantastic array of high quality printed output.

Each font brings it’s own unique character and style to a document. Some of the fonts, such as Bowditch and Durant, are more traditional. Others, such as Bubble and Telegraph, are more fun and unconventional. The Roma and University fonts are among those that have been enhanced to contain international characters, such as the æ, £, and characters.

Even the font names themselves have their own unique character and history. With few exceptions, the fonts are named for places and buildings around Berkeley, California. If you ever get a chance to visit Berkeley, you may recognize some of them.

NOTE: Not all fonts contain a full set of characters. Thin vertical lines indicate null or nonexistent characters in a particular font. They will, however, print out as thin lines. Check each font before using it to determine if it contains all the characters you need.

** This archive contains two .d64 images and the PDF manual.

zip1 Sunfish LQ Perfect Print Fonts [GEOS]

Bruce Thomas has put together another nice collection for GEOS, this time in the form of 30 Print Perfect LQ fonts.  Bruce pulled the individual fonts from Geoff Sullivan's site before it went offline and converted the individual .SFX files into a single .d81 disk of fonts for easier access.  The following is a quote from both Bruce and Geoff in a text file that accompanies the collection:

Geoff Sullivan was quite involved in the Commodore scene in the 90's and early 00's and, while he sold off his Commodore equipment prior to 2007, he has left a legacy. Between 1992 and 1994, Geoff and his wife Susan created 30 fonts for use with the Perfect Print LQ system for GEOS.

Here's part of the note from Geoff that accompanied these fonts.

>>>>

Perfect Print for Geos is a great little program. There are scads of commercial fonts around for PP but Susan and I worked out some of our own. They are based on some fonts used on other platforms that you may be familiar with.

A lot of hard work went into the making of these fonts. Some fonts are better than others and some screen fonts in the smaller point sizes don't look much like the near-laser printed results you will see using PP.

>>>>

The geoPaint files on this disk provide samples of the fonts. These files were created in geoWrite and then converted to goPaint using the Paint Pages print driver. Each file contains examples of six fonts and indicate the available point sizes with the displayed point size underlined. These geoPaint files were also converted to a PDF for viewing/printing from a PC.

I hope you enjoy these GEOS treasures as much as I do.  Thanks Bruce!
