Wow--
This turned into a lively discussion, including a couple of responses
direct to me.
Here's the situation.
On: http://www.fontsite.com/Pages/FFDownloads.html
There's a really neat font that gives a very clear display at 7 point.
I'd like it very much. But here's what it says:
Mini 7 was designed by Joe Gillespie. It's only a screen font, so it
doesn't have a printer font as all Type 1 fonts do. It is specifically
designed to be used at 7 points, or what we call "mouse type." Mini 7 is
great for captions or buttons on web graphics. In fact, we've used it in
several places throughout the FontSite. There are two versions--Mini and
Mini Tight--with different metrics. Mini 7 is Freeware and is only
available for the Macintosh
I downloaded it, but it's in that .hqx format. I read at:
http://www.calarts.edu/network/compress.html I should be able to open
it, but I don't know how. I have installed plenty of PS fonts, do not
use TT fonts, and would like to know if I can use this font (should I
ever learn how to unstuff the file).
