What's the difference between TrueType and Postscript?
As a general rule, if you don't know the difference, go
with TrueType. Postscript is used in conjunction with Adobe
Type Manager to print to Postscript compatible printers.
TrueType in that sense is more compatible and widely used.
Typically only professional graphic designers need/use Postscript.
I want to make my own fonts. Can you tell me how?
A good starting point is a scan of your handwriting. The guys from High-Logic wrote a good
how-to
page that tells you pretty much everything you need
to know for your start.
My question is not answered here. Where can I get more font
information?
The comp.fonts
FAQ by Norman Walsh gives you an answer to nearly every
font question.
I downloaded the fonts but all I got was a .zip file?
