Base 14 fonts
Hi,
Does anyone know of a free source where I might find the base 14 fonts?
Thanks,
Greg Buchenberger

Hi,
This is from the latest FOP documentation...
Base-14 Fonts
The Adobe PostScript and PDF Specification specify a set of 14 fonts
that must be available to every PostScript interpreter and PDF reader:
Helvetica (normal, bold, italic, bold italic), Times (normal, bold,
italic, bold italic), Courier (normal, bold, italic, bold italic),
Symbol and ZapfDingbats.
The following font family names are hard-coded into FOP for the Base-14
font set:
Base-14 font font families
Helvetica Helvetica, sans-serif, SansSerif
Times Times, Times Roman, Times-Roman, serif, any
Courier Courier, monospace, Monospaced
Symbol Symbol
ZapfDingbats ZapfDingbats
Please note that recent versions of Adobe Acrobat Reader replace
"Helvetica" with "Arial" and "Times" with "Times New Roman" internally.
GhostScript replaces "Helvetica" with "Nimbus Sans L" and "Times" with
"Nimbus Roman No9 L". Other document viewers may do similar font
substitutions. If you need to make sure that there are no such
substitutions, you need to specify an explicit font and embed it in the
target document.

You can get the fonts distributed with Ghostscript at the following
address:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gs-fonts/
They are clones of the Base14 fonts contributed by URW++ and made
available under the GPL license.
