More Information

There are several TrueType fonts our there which are reissued under different names (i.e. Aachen, Aapex, Aardvark, and Acklin).

How does a TrueType font collector determine which variation of a particular font is the first variant available to the public? For example, if you view Properties of two variants of the same font, they may both read "Copyright 199x". But how do you determine which one was first?

Any insight into this concept is appreciated. Thanks!
