Font Resource Directory (FRD)
Fonts plus Graphics, Utilities and Scanned Artwork
by Dick Estel

Dick created the ultimate resource for GEOS users to locate the font that would best suit their project when he created the Font Resource Directory (FRD). Dick started working on this in June 1989 as a way to catalog his collection of GEOS fonts. In 1996 Dick decided he had cataloged enough GEOS fonts. He had put out 14 supplements to the original FRD and he eventually cataloged over 1000 GEOS Fonts.

Dick's FRD Catalog is a true masterpiece. I have a 3 inch binder full of the printouts (over 500 pages) that Dick created to show the characters and point sizes in the fonts. Dick also presented a lot of useful information on the inner workings of GEOS fonts as well as listing sources for commercial and Public Domain fonts.

Of course, Dick also made the Public Domain fonts available on disk.

Over the years Dick also expanded from just offering Fonts to offering disks full of Graphics, Utilities, Scanned Art plus customized Calendar Templates for use in geoPaint.

I bought the FRD from Dick and also continued to buy the supplements. I bought a number of the font disks and some of his graphics disks. When I started to work on this CD I contacted Dick to see about buying the rest of the disks I did not have. Dick generously offered to send me whatever disks I needed to complete my set.

So, I owe a BIG Thank You to Dick Estel for all of the work he did to create the FRD and the accompanying disks as well as a BIG Thank You for his generosity in supplying the disks I did not have for this collection.
