[OS X TeX] Type Classics for Learning

[Jon Breitenbucher]

I have posted fd files for a number of the fonts in the Adobe Type 
Classics collection. I used examples by Bruce D'Arcus as a starting 
point. These should probably be considered as a starting point as well 
with more work needed. Obviously one must own the fonts in order to use 
them with XeTeX. You can grab the fd files at

Enjoy.

Mathematics as a science, commenced when first someone, probably a 
Greek, proved propositions about "any" things or about "some" things, 
without specifications of definite particular things. (Alfred North 
Whitehead)
