I created this printer version of the bitmap font Shaston from Matt Chisholm which is based on the Apple II GS font of the same name.

In one of the news groups I periodically read [comp.sys.mac.graphics] Alex Lee had a query about a particular font based on an Apple IIgs font. Sometimes when I have an opportunity I try to help someone out in the groups. So I looked for the font in question and found only a bitmap version. So I fired up an old font program and decided to make the font. I can't remember exactly what other project I was avoiding to take the time to create the font but I know I was procrastinating about something. Well at least it was constructive.
This was hand drawn using Matt's bitmap font as the basis. All the characters in the bitmap are present in this printer version. If there are any problem characters or suggestions feel free to contact me. Use the contact form in the menu.

This font is licensed under the the GNU GPL.

I created this with my older version of Fontographer and used FontForge to open and export the font to the OpenType version.
I make no guarantees as to it's stability and effect on your computer. Use at your own risk.
Below you will find the Mac TrueType version, the Windows TrueType version and the cross platform OpenType version. The Mac version is archived in a disk image to retain the resource fork.
