Question

Martian

I used to have a font called Martian, but it seems to have been lost after several machine changes. I can no longer remember if it was Postscript or truetype, but I doubt it was from Adobe. Anyone know of this font and how I could get hold of it again?

    OK, now that I got my plain message through, I'll try it again with the font attached.

    NOTE: Most fonts from Bright Ideas included a copyright notice "©Bright Ideas". A good number only contained Fontographer's default version and copyright info. In any event, there are no known legal inheritors of the Bright Ideas' materials.

    I think you're talking about a font originally distributed (free) with the now defunct Bright Ideas magazine. II was unable to locate a copy online, and tried to attach it here but was unable to post the message at all. I'll try to figure out what the problem is and attempt again later.

    I think you may mean this one from 1997. It was originally distributed free with the long-defunct e-magazine, Bright Ideas. Most of their fonts  included  ©Bright Ideas in the copyright section but some, like this one, merely had the Fontographer-generated default.

    I've attached the font here.

    Ramón asked "Where?"

    Who knows.

    When I try, I get a couple of red-tagged messages saying that I'm not allowed to VIEW(!) the requested content.  Now, after having received messages saying that all my posts in this thread were rejected, I see that they're all there anyway.

    If the OP comes back and asks, I'll post it to yousendit or rapidshare and just include a link in my msg.

    Nope, not it.

    Obviously Google was of course the first place to try, but although there's a few "Martian xxxxx" named fonts, there's nothing like the one I know. I'm quite surprised it has proved so elusive.
