Thread: [afp-renderer-users] Where to get AFP Fonts?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Where are other developers getting the AFP (code page and character set)
font files?  We are tasked with generating AFP documents, but do not have a
copy of the fonts.

Hi Harold,

AFP fonts can be purchased from IBM. Most fonts are licenced so we are
unable to distribute them with the AFP Renderer download. A quick google
turned up the following link, which may be of interest to you:

http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/library/printer/download/fsfont.pdf

There may be some other third party font authors, but I haven't looked
around for them.

Pete recently mentioned to me that one of the viewers you can download
for free actually came with some fonts (maybe the Barr AFP Viewer??)
which you may be able to use for testing.

I plan to get around to writing a quick start example and tutorial RSN
that explains some of these issues.

Cheers,
Joe

Harold,

I'm not sure if you are still looking for font suppliers. A company =
called Terrapin Solutions has recently agreed to sponsor the project by =
providing a very limited set of fonts that we can distribute with the =
software. You should be able to purcahse any fonts that you require from =
them. Contact details below:
