Vector Font available elsewhere?

makenoise

Hello, I am wondering if anybody has seen the Vector Style Font that is utilized within EAGLE available as a standard Font for use in other softwares?

 

Thank you,

 

Tony

    In old MS-DOS times, that font (plus several others) was shipped with

    all of Borland's "Turbo" compilers (which I think is the reason why

    CadSoft uses that font).

     

    Self-programmed software could ship these fonts royalty-free together

    with Borland's BGI drivers etc. I do NOT know about the licenses for

    these old files nowadays...

    THanx for the info Andreas.

     

    Do you have any idea what the font was called when it shipped with Turbo?

     

    Or really does anybody have any idea what the font was called or is called?

     

    THanx,

    Or really does anybody have any idea what the font was called or is called?

     

    As a matter of fact, I've created a ULP that makes the old Turbo Pascal

    fonts (there are ten) available in EAGLE. In order to be legally able to

    ship them with the ULP, I also have created a small EXE program that

    makes use of them. This is just a dummy program and NOT necessary for

    the ULP function.

     

    If you're interested in that stuff, send me your e-mail address, so I

    can send the files to you (100kB packed, so too large for this forum).

     

    Legal issues: For me, as the creator of the above mentioned dummy EXE

    program, it's perfectly legal to distribute the fonts with the EXE file.

    It is quite probable that YOU, not being the programmer of the EXE file,

    can NOT legally distribute those font files and do what you want with

    them. Perhaps the Borland guys have put these files in the public domain

    in the meantime, but I just don't know...
