Bitstream fonts are most conveniently available from the Bitstream 500 Font CD ROM Disc for Windows.

Bitstream assigns each of their fonts a 4-digit sequence number. Those numbers form the first 4 digits of the 8-character base filename. The CD includes fonts in Adobe Type 1 format ( .afm and .pfb ), and Microsoft Windows 3.1 True Type ( .pfm and .tt ) formats, together with installation software for use in Windows on the IBM PC. Nevertheless, the Type 1 files are directly usable on any system.

All of these fonts are available for immediate use at modest cost without requiring separate license keys for each font. Contact Bitstream at these addresses:
