Dina in TTF format
« on: October 10, 2008, 07:25 AM »
Nathaniel Sabanski has posted a link in this thread to his conversion of the Dina font to TTF format:

It's something that has been requested a lot of times, and I have been reluctant to do because of the amount of work and expensive software involved in proper vector font hinting. It's great someone else has taken a stab at it though, so Dina is now available to programs that do not support bitmap fonts :Thmbsup:.
