Topaz 9e, what does the e stand for?
Hi, I'm in the process of trying to adapt the Topaz font from WB1.3 for my windows. While working on 9e I started wondering; what does the e actually stand for? Anybody know?
Thanks. -Hagbard Celine |

Is that some unofficial/3rd party font? I don't remember seeing that kind of "e" myself ever...

Commodore Amiga 2.x (1991):
.. - Alternate Topaz/9e – 10×9 (2 for descender) – modified some glyphs like ‘g’ and available from Preferences as Text 60 .. (probably e as enhanced) |

Maybe it was the revision or 'edited'?

Is the Topaz name a reference to the B-52s song?

The e in 9e probably indicates the FSB_EXTENDED style bit, which means "extended face (wider than normal)".

That sounds plausible. Thanks, now maybe I can focus on the font instead of wondering about it's name
