For the second time this year, Bitstream has released an entire CD of fonts unlocked. This latest collection, Type Odyssey, includes more than 1,000 PostScript and TrueType fonts for both Mac and Windows. The included fonts come from independent foundries in the United States and United Kingdom.

Type Odyssey contains display faces and families of text faces. The collection includes many Bitstream originals, such as Bitstream Amerigo, Candy Bits, Oranda and the Prima font families. All of the fonts from the Bitstream New Font Collection are on the collection, too, including Lindisfarne Nova, Liorah, and Melanie. Type Odyssey also comes with complete Typographer Sets from these typeface families: Bitstream Cataneo, Bitstream Charter, Bitstream Chianti and Bitstream Iowan Old Style. Typographer Sets include ligatures, swashes, fractions, small caps, and old style and alternate characters.

Type Odyssey is a completely unlocked CD-ROM. It's available for $1,095. For more information, visit http://www.bitstream.com.
