Deneba's Canvas 5 drawing package for the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC Microsoft Windows (95, 98, NT) platforms includes a large number of fonts designed by, and licensed, from URW .

The fonts are present in the file directory tree starting at installer_fonts/fonts in the distribution CD ROM.

Subdirectories truetype and type_1 contain further subdirectories named a, b, ..., z, based on the initial letter of the contained files.

These font files in turn are named by the first letter of the font name, excluding any URW prefix, followed by a string of six digits and one letter.

Thus, Adobe font metrics for URWGaramondSteD-Demi are found in a file named g045015d.afm.

For the Type 1 format, there are font outlines in *.pfb files, Adobe font metrics in *.afm files, and Windows font metrics in *.pfm files.

For the TrueType format, there are only *.ttf files.

Although there are 1993 fonts in each format, there are only 1991 unique font names:

  1. PhyllisD is contained in p038000d.afm, and file p052023l.afm is corrupted with part of URWPalladioL-Ital and part of PhyllisD,
  2. File p039a00d.afm for font PhyllisCamD is corrupted with binary data on several lines.
  3. There are two versions of URWChallisD in c008000d.afm (Creation Date: 7/6/1996), and in c038000d.afm (Creation Date: 11/14/1996).
  4. There are identical copies of URWGalaxieComD-Bold in g060126d.afm and g033126d.afm.
  5. There are 55 *.afm files with doubled carriage-return characters on each line, and ending with 800 or more Ctl-Z characters (the latter being legacies of the deficient IBM PC DOS file system).
  6. There are 44 *.afm files with kerns specified for characters which do not exist in the font.

For convenience, here is a directory of the initial letters of the remaining sections of this document:
