Bitstream Font Analogue


A font analog is a cross reference of similar names used by various vendors for the same typeface family. Alternate names are necessary because trademark and design protection laws vary from one jurisdiction to another and certain of the larger companies have a program of legal harassment toward potential competitors in an attempt to force them into bankruptcy. Some companies will licence names with reasonable terms, others will charge outrageous rates or refuse to offer any terms at all. The solution adopted by many foundries is to change the name of the typeface and publish an analog that ships with their products. One of the most authoritative and useful such lists is that compiled by Bitstream. It is presented to Macintosh users as a Desk Accessory on the Apple menu. The following edited list is used by permission of Bitstream with data derived from their desk accessory. It should be noted that many designs are altered and improved upon so the analog is only a rough guide to what may be an exact match as opposed to what may instead be a closely similar design.
