Try URW in Hamburg, West Germany. This is one of their main businesses.
They developed and market the Ikarus type development system, including
several digital outline formats, some of which are de facto industry
standards for typeface data interchange. They also have an outline type
production group that uses the Ikarus system to produce typeface data. They
have a very large library, including all ITC faces.
