Re: Type Classics for Learning

I have posted fd files for a number of the fonts in the Adobe Type 
Classics collection. I used examples by Bruce D'Arcus as a starting 
point. These should probably be considered as a starting point as well 
with more work needed. Obviously one must own the fonts in order to use 
them with XeTeX. You can grab the fd files at

Enjoy.
