Version: 2.1.5 See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Subject: 12. Vendor Information Type/Font Vendors ================= The following list is based on information from Masumi Abe, Norm Walsh and many others. I (Don Hosek) have been calling vendors and attempting to make sure information is up to date. I have removed a number of vendors who do not sell fonts. Fonts bundled with applications (e.g., the bitmap fonts which are part of Quicken) are not considered enough to merit inclusion in the list. Also, a number of the vendors on the list actually were selling various printing software but no fonts per se and were likewise removed. Finally, some companies seem to have disappeared, most likely gone out of business. I've indicated the verification date of any information which appears on the list. I would appreciate aid in contacting those companies which are listed as unverified (particularly companies outside the US).
