Soviet 2002 is a production of Fontosaurus Text, and is available there as a free download, in Macintosh and Windows formats.á All my fonts are donationware -- if you download them and use them/link them, please donate $2.00 (U.S.) to me.á There's usually a contest going on, related to what I'm trying to save up the money for. You may include this font on CDs or in online archives, but it MUST include all the contents of the original archive file, including the readme file and the web link files.á Should you include it on a CD for publication purposes, I would appreciate a contributor's copy.á Please email me at dan.bailey@fontosaurus.com for my snail-mail address.

Tex-Edit Plus is a scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap between Apple's bare-bones SimpleText and a full-featured word processor. It's fast, efficient, and has a clean, uncluttered interface. It's also great for cleaning up text which is transmitted over the Internet. Tex-Edit Plus features: PowerPC native (fat), extensive munging abilities, unlimited file size, Drag&Drop support, AppleScript support, Word Services support, Speech Manager support, picture handling, sound handling, movie handling, ability to create SimpleText Read-Only documents, and much more. System 7.0 or better required. NEW IN 4.0.2 -- Tex-Edit Plus 4.0.2 eliminates several bugs from 4.0 and 4.0.1. Moving or resizing an unedited document no longer forces you to "Save Changes" when closing the document. A bug noted when opening small (< 2 character) text files was fixed and a font size/ baseline height bug on 68K machines was fixed. VERSION 4 : Tex-Edit Plus 4.0 represents a major upgrade, including many new features--all scriptable, of course! (This version requires MacOS 7.1 or newer.) Tex-Edit Plus supports unlimited undo and redo. A new "strikethrough" text style is supported. Flexible superscripting and subscripting are supported (in one point increments). "Text hiliting" is supported, allowing hiliter-like emphasis of any text. Tex-Edit Plus can read and write UTF-16 (unicode) text. The new file format is fully backward compatible with previous versions. Each paragraph can be formatted individually. These new paragraph settings include text justification (left, center, right, full), space above, space below, left indent, right indent, first line indent (or hanging outdent), and bottom border (in one of several line styles). Each paragraph can also have its own line spacing (in one point increments) and dominant text direction (useful for right-to-left scripts).
