These are the "Mac The Knife" set of fonts; it was originally sold through
Miles Computing.  I bought the set when they came out -- excellent display
fonts from the Underground daze...  Miles, I believe, has gone out of
business, but I'm pretty sure Dubl Click Software (18201 Gresham St.,
Northridge, CA 91325) has bought a lot of their stuff up for their own
Wetpaint clip art and World Class Fonts -- I know they grabbed a lot of Mac
the Knife's clip art.

Good stuff, but all bitmapped...

                         for the Ferarri?"  
                                                   "Yeah, but I thought it
                                                    would have made a bigger
                                                    dent."
