Subject: Bitstream AKA list, x-ref'ed + reformatted Newsgroups: comp.fonts From: mark@sdd.hp.com (Mark Overton) Organization: Hewlett-Packard, San Diego Division Date: 10 Apr 1995 19:33:53 GMT Hi, I've taken Jon Pastor's Bitstream AKA list, and added a cross-reference to find a Bitstream name based on a common name. And I reformatted it to be more human-readable. I had to throw out a bunch of ancillary information to get everything to fit in 80 character-wide lines. This file consists of four sections: - Bitstream => Common name list - Common => Bitstream name list - Jon's original comma-separated list - Jon's original tab-separated list Jon Pastor wrote in his original AKA list: Well, here's the latest version, incorporating all of the information supplied by a cast of half-dozens, including Mike Macrone, Rory Jaffe, John C Haugeland, and P.Doherty. Mike contributed most of the designers and dates; I added a few on this go-round. P.Doherty added a few fonts from other CDs that Bitstream has licensed; since these are part of the full Bitstream library, which I hope someday soon to be able to cross-ref, I'm leaving them in. This includes Italian Garamond, which is not on the 500 CD. - Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Overton, Hewlett-Packard (San Diego Division), mark@sdd.hp.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bitstream Name Common Name Aldine 401 Bembo Aldine 721 Plantin Blackletter 686 London Text Brush 445 Palette Brush 738 Bison Calligraphic 421 Codex Calligraphic 810 Diotima Century 725 Madison Century 731 Textype Century 751 Primer Decorated 035 Profil Dutch 766 Imprint Dutch 801 Times Roman Dutch 809 Concorde Dutch 811 Olympian Dutch 823 Aster Egyptian 505 VGC Egyptian 505 English 157 Englische Screibschrift Exotic 350 Peignot Flareserif 821 Albertus Formal 436 Oscar Formal Script 421 Mermaid Formal Script 421 Ondine Freeform 710 Eckmann Freeform 721 Auriol Freehand 471 Cascade Freehand 521 Mandate Freehand 575 Jefferson Freehand 591 Bingham Script Garamond American Garamond No. 3 Garamond Classic Sabon Garamond Elegant Granjon Garamond Italian Simoncini Garamond Garamond Original Stempel Garamond Geometric 212 Spartan Geometric 231 Cable Geometric 415 Metro Geometric 706 Neuzeit Grotesk Geometric 885 Bloc Geometric Slabserif 703 Memphis Geometric Slabserif 712 Rockwell Geometric Slabserif 712 Slate Gothic 720 Grotesque 126,215,216 Gothic 725 Akzidenz Grotesk Gothic 821 Block Humanist 521 Gill Sans Humanist 521 Hammersmith Humanist 531 Syntax Humanist 777 Frutiger Humanist 970 Adsans Humanist Slabserif 712 Egyptienne Incised 901 Antique Olive Incised 901 Provence Industrial 736 Torino Informal 011 Neuland Kis Janson Kuenstler 480 Activa Kuenstler 480 Trump Medieval Lapidary 333 Perpetua Latin 725 Meridien Modern 735 Bodoni Campanile Modern 880 Linotype Modern Monospace 821 Helvetica Monospaced News 701 Ionic No. 5 News 702 Excelsior News 705 Corona News 706 Aurora Raleigh Cartier Revival 565 Berling Ribbon 131 Coronet Square 721 Eurostile Square Slabserif 711 City Staccato 222 Mistral Staccato 555 Choc Swiss 721 Helvetica Swiss 911 Helvetica Compressed Swiss 921 Helvetica Inserat Swiss 924 Hanseatic Transitional 511 Caledonia Transitional 521 Electra Transitional 551 Fairfield Typo Upright Linoscript Venetian 301 Centaur Wedding Text Linotext Zapf Calligraphic Palatino Zapf Elliptical 711 Melior Zapf Humanist 601 Optima Zurich Univers ============================================================================= Common Name Bitstream Name Activa Kuenstler 480 Adsans Humanist 970 Akzidenz Grotesk Gothic 725 Albertus Flareserif 821 Antique Olive Incised 901 Aster Dutch 823 Auriol Freeform 721 Aurora News 706 Bembo Aldine 401 Berling Revival 565 Bingham Script Freehand 591 Bison Brush 738 Bloc Geometric 885 Block Gothic 821 Bodoni Campanile Modern 735 Cable Geometric 231 Caledonia Transitional 511 Cartier Raleigh Cascade Freehand 471 Centaur Venetian 301 Choc Staccato 555 City Square Slabserif 711 Codex Calligraphic 421 Concorde Dutch 809 Corona News 705 Coronet Ribbon 131 Diotima Calligraphic 810 Eckmann Freeform 710 Egyptienne Humanist Slabserif 712 Electra Transitional 521 Englische Screibschrift English 157 Eurostile Square 721 Excelsior News 702 Fairfield Transitional 551 Frutiger Humanist 777 Garamond No. 3 Garamond American Gill Sans Humanist 521 Granjon Garamond Elegant Grotesque 126,215,216 Gothic 720 Hammersmith Humanist 521 Hanseatic Swiss 924 Helvetica Swiss 721 Helvetica Compressed Swiss 911 Helvetica Inserat Swiss 921 Helvetica Monospaced Monospace 821 Imprint Dutch 766 Ionic No. 5 News 701 Janson Kis Jefferson Freehand 575 Linoscript Typo Upright Linotext Wedding Text Linotype Modern Modern 880 London Text Blackletter 686 Madison Century 725 Mandate Freehand 521 Melior Zapf Elliptical 711 Memphis Geometric Slabserif 703 Meridien Latin 725 Mermaid Formal Script 421 Metro Geometric 415 Mistral Staccato 222 Neuland Informal 011 Neuzeit Grotesk Geometric 706 Olympian Dutch 811 Ondine Formal Script 421 Optima Zapf Humanist 601 Oscar Formal 436 Palatino Zapf Calligraphic Palette Brush 445 Peignot Exotic 350 Perpetua Lapidary 333 Plantin Aldine 721 Primer Century 751 Profil Decorated 035 Provence Incised 901 Rockwell Geometric Slabserif 712 Sabon Garamond Classic Simoncini Garamond Garamond Italian Slate Geometric Slabserif 712 Spartan Geometric 212 Stempel Garamond Garamond Original Syntax Humanist 531 Textype Century 731 Times Roman Dutch 801 Torino Industrial 736 Trump Medieval Kuenstler 480 Univers Zurich VGC Egyptian 505 Egyptian 505 =============================================================================== Subject: Bitstream AKA list; the story continues... Newsgroups: comp.fonts From: pastor@vfl.paramax.com (Jon Pastor) Organization: not much... Date: Thu, 16 Feb 1995 18:41:45 GMT Well, here's the latest version, incorporating all of the information supplied by a cast of half-dozens, including Mike Macrone, Rory Jaffe, John C Haugeland, and P.Doherty. Mike contributed most of the designers and dates; I added a few on this go-round. P.Doherty added a few fonts from other CDs that Bitstream has licensed; since these are part of the full Bitstream library, which I hope someday soon to be able to cross-ref, I'm leaving them in. This includes Italian Garamond, which is not on the 500 CD. I have reverted the entries for the various Garamonds to the "Garamond, Variant" form, because I do this list mostly for my own convenience and that's the way I like it; if you prefer the other way, re-sort it. Nyah, nyah. ;-) Anyway, here it is in CSV and tab-sep form; I have been persuaded that UUENCODED Excel spreadsheets are a colossally dumb thing to distribute, and that formatted output looks nice but is pretty useless for loading into your own spreadsheet program. P.S. I've sent these to Norm Walsh, who will hopefully put them somewhere on his server (or in his web). It would be nice to think that they don't have to be posted every fifteen or twenty minutes, and that people with net/web access could be pointed toward the IFA... ******************************** CSV ******************************** Bitstream Name,Common Name,Designer(s),Date(s),Orig.Vend.,Remarks/Attributions,,,,,,, ,(all),(M.Macrone/J.Pastor),(M.Macrone),(J.Pastor),,,,,,,, Aldine 401,Bembo,F.
