(Sorry to post this, but lately most of my e-mailings get bounced back.)

Rodrigo:

Try ordering the "World-Class" fonts package from Dubl-Click software.  THey
have a font in that collection called "Odessa" which has all the chess pieces.
You'll have to by the other 40+ fonts to with the package, but I'm sure you'll
be able to find a use for them eventually.

Dubl-CLick ads are in most issues of MacUser or MacWorld magazine, and so
you can get their number there.  I would recommend that you order through one
of the discount houses and save yourself some money, rather than ordering
directly from the manufacturer.

Good luck.

p.s. These are bit-mapped fonts, not postscript fonts, so if you run them
off a laser printer they may look a little jagged around the edges.
