19 TrueType Fonts Ship With Mac OS X Mortsel, Belgium – March 4, 2002 – Agfa Monotype Corporation, a major provider of fonts and font technologies worldwide, today announced that 19 TrueType fonts are now shipping with Mac OS X, Apple’s revolutionary UNIX-based operating system. The 19 TrueType fonts for Mac OS X comprise four typeface families: Baskerville, Gill Sans, ITC American Typewriter and Papyrus. Fonts from two of the families, Gill Sans and Baskerville, were selected from Agfa Monotype’s Enhanced Screen Quality (ESQ) line, a collection of fonts engineered specifically for optimal legibility at virtually any point size and resolution, whether on-screen or in print. "We’re extremely pleased that Agfa Monotype fonts are included with Mac OS X," said Brian Kraimer, vice president of Agfa Monotype. "With thousands of applications and the most popular digital devices compatible with Mac OS X, it is important that users are also presented with legible, easy-to-read fonts, which we’re delivering to Apple’s advanced operating system." World Renowned Font Library — Superior Font Technology Fonts for Mac OS X were selected from Agfa Monotype’s library of over 7,000 fonts, a comprehensive collection that includes such typeface luminaries as Arial, Bembo and Times New Roman. To meet the demand for high legibility on low-resolution devices such as computer monitors, smart phones and Internet appliances, hundreds of Agfa Monotype’s TrueType fonts are now available as ESQ fonts. Every character within each ESQ font has been hand-tuned using advanced hinting technology to ensure the highest level of clarity on any device. Far surpassing typical TrueType and PostScript fonts in readability, ESQ fonts can also be modified for special applications, multi-language support or other custom needs.
