BUJARDET FRERES TRUE-TYPE or POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 FONT



... A little piece of history ...



This font was created after the design of letters used by my ancestors

of Bujardet Freres, back in 1838, for their adds. Especialy for the world

fair of 1900 held in Paris, where they got a silver medal for, at the time,

their high tech creation, a new type of varnish.



For historical reference, please find in the same archive a file named

"BUJARDET.GIF", which shows a card from the company that gave

this font it's name. It was printed for promotional purposes. In the left

corner, there is a mention saying "Silver Medal at the Paris World Fair

1900, exhibiting for the first time". This card shows other nice types as

well, which will eventually become fonts, when I have time to create

them.



To-day, this latest version of Bujardet Fr„res contains all the character

set for Mac, including all the symbols and greek characters. It is now

possible to use it to write in any current language, as it contains all the

accented and special characters for Spanish, German, Nordic, etc. For

those who need ogonek, hungarian umlaut and other accents, look in

the higher ASCII with an utility like PopChar, where these accents are

placed. Just enter first the accent, and then the character (lowercase) you

want it to take place on. That way, you will be able to use this font in

such languages as Polish, Turkish, Esperanto, etc.



I hope you like this latest version as much as the previous ones.



Michel Bujardet
