On this page are bundles for fonts available, which contain files necessary to use the fonts with TeX and LaTeX. In the bundles are all required files, with the exception of the fonts themselves. The Type1-fonts must be purchased. They are available from Bitstream, and are also bundled with various versions of CorelDraw. Please be sure to get the Type1-version, because the TrueType-versions are not supported. Some CorelDraw-versions (mainly OEM-versions) include only the TrueType-version, but other include both TrueType and Type1.
The fonts lack kerning-tables for languages other than English, and even the provided kerning data is (in my opinion) sometimes not suitable. I tried to fix the most obvious (missing or incorret) kerning-pairs.
Most of the fonts on this site are clones from well-known fonts, which are available e.g. from Adobe or Linotype. If you can afford the original versions, please buy them.
Unfortunately Bitstream does not provide SmallCaps or Oldstyle Figures. Therefore some fonts include a script to make SmallCaps and Oldstyle Figures for the font. The script requires the programm Fontforge, which can be downloaded for free from fontforge.sf.net. These selfmade fonts are far inferior compared to real, handmade fonts, and should be use with care. It's up to you to decide, whether their quality is good enough.
