Finding Fonts

Madcrow · 26 September 2011, 16:07

Does anybody know of any good sources of Amiga scalable fonts? There's various PD collections, but most of them are filled with quick-n-dirty TypeSmith conversions of various 90s-era PC freeware and shareware releases. I've also heard that Digita released various fontdisks with high-quality fonts directly from Agfa, but I've only found one of these sets: "Pride and Presentation" online. The other two, especially "The Reference Library" have more interesting contents but seem to be totally lost.

Luckily, the situation seems to be a bit better on the Softwood front. FinalWriter comes with a boatload of nice fonts and the SoftFaces addon disks all seem to be online as well. Still, it would be interesting to know if any other collections in FinalCopy/FinalWriter format ever got released...

Try Aminet !

Been there, done that. Aminet is probably the original source of lots of the various repackaged and quickly converted PC and Mac fonts found in other places.

Hi all. I also found the first Digita font collection (pride & presentation). I wonder if anyone has the other two font collections archived? See attached scan.
