so they can be listed here.]
* A number of Postscript Type 1 and TrueType fonts (including IPA, Greek,
Cyrillic, Armenian, etc.) are available by ftp from
host ftp.winsite.com
directory: pub/pc/win3/fonts/truetype
List (ls) the directory to see what's available. The files are zipped;
a version of unzip is usually available on whatever host you use
to ftp with.
Note: TrueType files can be used under Windows or on the Macintosh.
I'm not sure if the unzipped files can be inserted directly into the
Mac's Fonts folder; I ran them through Fontographer first.

are also available by ftp from
