Chinese True Type fonts on CD-ROM.

So far I have found three Chinese True Type CD-ROM packages.

NewType Chinese True Type fonts

     On this CD-ROM, you get 37 Traditional, 13 Simplified True Type

     fonts.  You also get 13 input methods for MS Chinese Windows 3.1.

     You may try the font maker progarm and 2 byte to 1 byte utility

     on the CD-ROM before you decided to buy a copy.

     Each CD-ROM comes with a DEMO2000.  DEMO2000 is a free package that

     has 56 True Type fonts (37 Traditional/ 13 Simplified), each font

     has 2000 characters that you may access.  You may installed

     these demo version True type fonts onto your hard disk freely

     and welcome to upload to any BBS or copy to your friends.

     Even though 2000 characters are not a lot, but I found that 2000

     is quite enough for my own daily work.

     HOW THE THING WORKED?

     You pay $75.00 and get the CD-ROM with a key disk that will enable

     any 5 fonts on the CD-ROM of your choice.  You pay $150.00 for any

     10 fonts on the CD-ROM etc..  Once you got the CD-ROM, you may play

     with the DEMO2000 first, take your time, and later choose the fonts

     you like the most.  You may add more fonts anytime in the future.

     If you purchased 5 fonts now, you may purchase another 5 fonts

     later.

     You don't have to choose all the fonts you purchase

     at once, you may choose other fonts later in the future.

     This CD-ROM is for Microsoft Chinese Windows 3.1.

CD-ROM  NAKAI Chinese True Type fonts for MS Chinese Windows 3.1

     Provides 70 Proportional English TTF and 600 English Postscript

     fonts. Supports Union Way Chinese Windows.  Comes with DOS Dyna

     Font emulator driver.

     With its 2 byte to 1 byte utility, you may use this package

     in English Windows (That means you may work with Chinese fonts

     in a English Windows - this feature is for computer wizers)

CD-ROM 30 Chinese True Type fonts

     You have 30 (15000 characters each) Chinese True Type fonts in one

     CD-ROM. The best product for those who need all kind of fonts but

     not have enough hard disk space.  You may use the fonts form CD-ROM.

Let me know if you need more information on these CD-ROMs!
