                         The fonts on Aminet CD 10

 There are far more than 2000 different fonts on this CD. One can roughly
 categorize as screen fonts, suitable for graphic displays, and the 
 scalable printer fonts. In detail, these are:

 Screen fonts (bitmapped):
  @{"    Fixed     " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Fixed/main } width screen fonts (e.g. for editors)
  @{" Proportional " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Prop/main  } bitmap fonts for on screen use
  @{"    Color     " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Color/main } fonts, e.g. for use with paint programs

 The Printer fonts (scalable) exist in three versions:
  @{"    Adobe     " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Adobe/main } Postscript fonts. Scalable, high quality.
  @{" Compugraphic " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Compu/main } Intellifont fonts. The OS understands this format
  @{"   Bitmap     " link AMINET10:Guides/FontsData/Bitmap/main} versions of some sizes, for older OSes and for speed

 These fonts come in archives of about 40 each. There is an index image
 for every archive so you can quickly view large numbers of fonts. And
