Castcraft Optifont CD series volume 1
Article Abstract:
Castcraft Software Inc's Optifont Volume 1 computer font includes 400 type designs for the package price of $996. Castcraft uses its own names for each font, so users will probably have to refer to disk file or booklet cross references. Users would benefit from an easy way to preview fonts before they are downloaded, but Castcraft does not provide such a feature. The initial price for Optifont may seem high, but those wanting a wide array of fonts will get a bargain as each font costs $2.49. Castcraft was originally a metal type foundry and carries its tradition of well-crafted type over to its CD-ROM product.
