 | For Immediate Release For more information, please contact: Katie Graunke TEL: 505-345-4800 FAX: 505-345-3424 Announces Free Font Utilities New York, July 18, 2001 - Stone Design, veteran Macintosh Cocoa software house, today announced two free utility programs to enhance PStill™, Stone's PostScript to PDF (Portable Document Format) converter. GNU Font Installer installs free GNU versions of standard Type 1 fonts into PStill. Stone Design's CEO, Andrew Stone, notes, "The GNU Font Installer lets users take full advantage of PStill, even if they don't have any PostScript Type 1 fonts. In the GNU spirit, the application is 100% free!" GNU Font Installer is available as a free download now from Stone Design's web site. The second application, code named "True Blue," is a utility to convert True Type fonts to Type 1 fonts. This will give PStill users an even greater range of document conversion options, with more accurate font conversions. This application will be released in the fourth quarter of 2001, and will be available as a free download from Stone's web site. In addition, PStill for the NEXTSTEP/OpenStep GUI is now free. Frank Siegert, original author of PStill, has included a free license key with the NEXTSTEP version of PStill, which can be downloaded from Frank's site or from the Stone website. Stone Design Corporation of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was incorporated in 1984 and was the first developer to ship a product on NeXT hardware in 1989 with the release of TextArt. Since then, Stone Design has been a leader in innovative shrinkwrap software in the NEXTSTEP/OpenStep/Mac OS X Server marketplace. Create® - the high end drawing and web page making package - is Mac OS X's first Cocoa native design application. Create®, PhotoToWeb®, GIFfun™, SliceAndDice™, TimeEqualsMoney™ and PackUpAndGo™ are Stone Design trademarks. Other names are trademarked by their respective companies. |
