mfpic
| A free program with macros to help draw metafont figures. Its history: MFpic was initiated by Tom Leathrum in 1992. At some point in version 0.2.x most of the development passed to Geoffrey Tobin. In 1996, when the (unreleased) version was at 0.2.14, Dan Luecking began trying to transform mfpic's Metafont code into MetaPost code, and then folding MetaPost support into mfpic.tex. With Geoffrey Tobin's help, and that of a small group of mfpic aficionados on the Net, Luecking published mfpic v. 0.5. Dan Luecking is at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Arkansas. [Google] [More] ⦿ |

Stephen McBride (b. 1967) is based in Kansas City, MO, and before that in Edwardsville, KS and Earle, AR. He is the man behind the SWMCA Catalogs (est. 2012). An ex-signpainter, he is now turning his typefaces into digital fonts. Creator of the free hand-printed font Tribal (2012). The explanation is interesting: Tribal was first drawn in 1979 as Indian. For many years it was one of the most popular SWMCA fonts. Shortly there after there was a heavy movement among Native American tribes about being called "Indians". They'd constantly complain that they weren't from India or an Arabic nation. In response, SWMCA changed the name to Typeface (later Typefont) of Native American Honor. It was redrawn in 2012 and sent to Font Panda to be digitalized and came back more "liquidity" and much more playful than the original. Tribal was followed by Tribal Schoolhouse (2012). In 2013, he designed the hand-printed typeface families Fun Euro Schoolhouse, 2013 SWMCA Demo, Watermelon Stand, 2013 Demo of Cadaver's Script (eerie), Midtown Roman, Hexagonal Delight (angular script), Ol West Rustik, Disco Grudge and 12 Steps. Typefaces from 2014: Pupil Light, Kansas City Gothic Caps (blackletter), Kabbalah, Area 51 UFO (+Apocalypse, a glazkrak typeface). In 2015, he designed the free brush typeface 99% Occupy in support of the Occupy Movement. Dafont link. Home page. Dafont link. Fontspace link. [Google] [More] ⦿ | |
