38*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierHistory
39*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier
40*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierThe PostScript versions of the AMSFonts were produced  by Blue Sky Research
41*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierof Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published
42*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierthe fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX
43*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierprogram.
44*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier
45*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierCharacter outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
46*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombiercharacter bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
47*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierMorrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
48*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierBlue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
49*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
50*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierengineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and Berthold
51*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierHorn.
