Agfa makes compugraphic fonts, or at least the compugraphic-system was developed by Agfa.

I'm not aware of any major differences between the two, other than the format. > Michael Harris - harris@catt.ncsu.edu or harris@carvm3.vnet.ibm.com > Computer and Technologies Theme Program, North Carolina State University > > ======================================================== -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Olli Vinberg ------------ Internet: amigo@clinet.fi ----- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
