\section{The {\tt Cheq} Font} This directory contains a PostScript chess font released by Adobe Systems and acquired from the Unix newsgroup {\tt comp.sources.misc} on 11th July 1989. The following text is taken from the information accompanying the distribution. Note that several of the files have been renamed for insertion into the archive. In addition to the files mentioned below, there is a \LaTeX\ style file, {\tt cheq.sty}, which provides definitions for the various chess pieces. \medskip This is a posting of the Adobe chess font `Cheq'. It is being licensed to you royalty-free by Adobe Systems, Inc., for your use and not for sale to others. This font software is provided as is and Adobe disclaims all warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. This current release is in five parts: \begin{enumerate} \item the ascii version of the downloadable font (cheq.ps) \item the Font Metrics (AFM) file, the TeX .PL file, and an example text file using Cheq (example.ps) \item the Macintosh printer font in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format (cheq-f.sit-hqx) \item the Macintosh screen fonts (10,11,12,14,16,18, and 24 point) in NFNT resource format in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format (cheq-sf.sit-hqx) \item Macintosh text examples of Cheq in Binhex'd compressed StuffIt format (cheq-txt.sit-hqx) \end{enumerate} The IBM PC version of the font (for Windows and Ventura Publisher) are not yet completely tested and will posted at a later date. All `Cheq' data will be available on CompuServe and also the Adobe PS fileserver (send e-mail to {\tt ps-file-server@adobe.com} containing the word {\tt help} for more information). If you need the bitmap files in their original ascii format for conversion into another format, please contact me. As a personal request: If you like Cheq, and decide to use it, please drop me a line letting me know. I just want to know how many people actually are interested in this font, and if it was worth all my spare time. \medskip \noindent John Renner\\ Adobe Systems, Inc.\\ 1585 Charleston Road\\ Mountain View, CA 94039-7900
