Subject: Bitstream AKA list, x-ref'ed + reformatted
Date: 10 Apr 1995 19:33:53 GMT
Hi,
I've taken Jon Pastor's Bitstream AKA list, and added a cross-reference to
find a Bitstream name based on a common name. And I reformatted it to be
more human-readable. I had to throw out a bunch of ancillary information
to get everything to fit in 80 character-wide lines.
This file consists of four sections:
- Bitstream => Common name list
- Common => Bitstream name list
- Jon's original comma-separated list
- Jon's original tab-separated list
Jon Pastor wrote in his original AKA list:
Well, here's the latest version, incorporating all of the information supplied
by a cast of half-dozens, including Mike Macrone, Rory Jaffe, John C Haugeland,
and P.Doherty. Mike contributed most of the designers and dates; I added a few
on this go-round. P.Doherty added a few fonts from other CDs that Bitstream
has licensed; since these are part of the full Bitstream library, which I hope
someday soon to be able to cross-ref, I'm leaving them in. This includes
Italian Garamond, which is not on the 500 CD.

Subject: Bitstream AKA list; the story continues...
I have reverted the entries for the various Garamonds to the "Garamond,
Variant" form, because I do this list mostly for my own convenience and that's
the way I like it; if you prefer the other way, re-sort it. Nyah, nyah. ;-)
Anyway, here it is in CSV and tab-sep form; I have been persuaded that
UUENCODED Excel spreadsheets are a colossally dumb thing to distribute, and
that formatted output looks nice but is pretty useless for loading into your
own spreadsheet program.
P.S. I've sent these to Norm Walsh, who will hopefully put them somewhere on
his server (or in his web). It would be nice to think that they don't have to
be posted every fifteen or twenty minutes, and that people with net/web access
could be pointed toward the IFA...
