I met the head of Goodmark Corp of Vienna, VA last Tuesday night. His
company is also designing PostScript Typefaces for Macs and NeXTs.
He told me that they have nearly completely their first 100 fonts.
They plan to take the font market by storm, I was told. He told me to
send him an OD, and $250, and he'd send back their entire font library.
$250 is not bad for 100 Type 1 fonts with screen fonts. 

He also said that his company is looking for PostScript programmers that
can automate kerning and AFM file creation. 

The company can be reached at (703) 883-8262. I have nothing to do with
them, other than meeting the owner.
