bbold-type1 – An Adobe Type 1 format version of the bbold font
The files offer an Adobe Type 1 format version of the 5pt, 7pt and 10pt versions of the bbold fonts.
The distribution also includes a map file, for use when incorporating the fonts into TeX documents; the macros provided with the original METAFONT version of the font serve for the scaleable version, too.
The fonts were produced to be part of the TeX distribution from Y&Y; they were generously donated to the TeX Users Group when Y&Y closed its doors as a business.
