Bitstream sells font outline prototypes from which (with their installation
kit) you can create fonts of virtually any size, stroke, etc. The installation
kit takes care of creating the necessary printer font, screen font, .VFM files,
and width tables. Their fonts are very clean and will closely match the set
already in use by Ventura.
