Collectable ephemera showing fonts in use
Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 7:09 am
I was looking at the following web page in the Unicode mail list archive.
http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicod ... /0011.html
I found the following link.
http://www.unicodeconference.org/iuc32-invitation.pdf
The pdf is, in my opinion, a highly collectable item of ephemera.
Viewed in Adobe Reader, choosing File Properties... Fonts shows that characters from seven fonts are used in the document.
By using copy and paste from the pdf to WordPad I was able to identify which font was used for each piece of text. I have only found five of the fonts in this way.
I noticed in particular the use of alternate characters in BickhamScriptPro-Regular.
Here is a link to the Glyph Complement pdf of the font.

Has anyone noticed any other items of collectable ephemera showing fonts in use?
