Mark Johansson explains a bit about Rakowski's fonts. Taken from alt.binaries.fonts From: Mark Johannson Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 19:36:17 GMT Rakowski is no longer freeware and/or shareware. He has gone totally commercial. If you are interested this is snipped from a very useful periodical I receive: "Rakowski of course is still alive and well, continuing his teaching at Columbia, living in NYC, doing his musical work, and as opinionated as ever. Unfortunately Rakowski has the nasty habit of releasing the same typeface under multiple names - which makes figuring out his work very frustrating. Some of this is to protect any commercial royalties that he earns. While protection of royalties for original work is great, many of his existing library faces are student works from classes he taught in typography years ago. More than a few are little more than scanned from Dover publications and then tweaked. Dubious name changes were then made by Rakowski - possibly to skirt any copyright issues. For instance: Adine Kirnberg-Script became Adine Kernnberg Script, Ann Stone became Anne Stone, Elizabeth Ann became Elizabethann, Elzevier Caps became Elzevier Initials, Hartings Typewriter became Harting, Holteschue became Holtzschue, Horst Caps became Horsch Caps, Ian Bent became Ianbent, Jeff-Nichols became Jeff Nichols, Lee Caps became Leecaps, Showfold became Shohl-Fold, etc., etc.. Further complicating matters, some faces were released under two completely different names such as: Beachman Script and Rechtman Script Handtooled, Nightline and Will-Harris, Shotling and Shrapnel, Tone And Debs and Tundra, Brooks Initials and Wiemann Caps, Woodplank and Lower East Side, etc., etc.. From the shareware to commercial release of Davy's Dingbats and Griffin Dingbats he completely remapped them - which has the nasty habit of making some versions of Davy's Dingbat's One identical with other versions of Davy's Other Dingbats - AND visa versa! Unfortunately of late, he has been known to e-mail tough sounding letters to sites that have any of his shareware and freebee fonts available or linked - claiming that he is all commercial. If you haven't had enough punishment figuring his designs, names and files out, he can be reached at 73240.3060@compuserve.com" As you said, the savvy file hunter can easily find things that are offered through Precision and elsewhere in many shareware archives. In many cases the names are only changed, the fonts are identical to what 39 bucks will get you at PT. I personally think the easy to find "Logger" is remarkably similiar to the commercial "Fetch Scotty" :-) Many other faces are under the same umbrella, so to speak.
