(NASDAQ: BITS), today announced the addition of its 100th font foundry, Emigre, to its growing list of world-class font foundries. With this addition, MyFonts.com now offers 27,000 fonts from foundries large and small, further solidifying its position as the largest collection of fonts ever assembled on one easy-to-use Web site. "Consistent with our goal of making fonts accessible to everyone, not just graphic designers, MyFonts.com is excited to offer 300 typefaces from such a renowned font foundry," explained John Collins, Vice President and CTO of MyFonts.com. "Emigre has a long history of designing high-quality typefaces. Offering their entire font library on MyFonts.com, makes it even easier for everyone to find, try and buy fonts online." "We at Emigre are delighted to be participating in MyFonts.com," stated Zuzana Licko, President of Emigre. "MyFonts.com has simplified the process of finding fonts with their user-friendly preview engine and their comprehensive database, which is made even more complete by adding the Emigre collection." Emigre, founded by Zuzana Licko and Rudy VanderLans, is a digital type foundry and publisher of the design journal Emigre magazine. Based in Northern California, Emigre was there, in the eye of the storm, when the Macintosh computer was first introduced in 1984. As part of a small group of believers, Emigre used the restrictions of low-resolution output to create inventive new typeface designs and layouts. This earned them recognition early on as innovators in the field of graphic design. As the Macintosh grew up, so did Emigre. Its library now houses over 300 modern typeface designs licensed from designers around the world. Emigre magazine, while a prime showcase for the use of Emigre fonts, has developed into a journal exploring graphic design in the widest sense of the term.
