From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Bitstream Inc. is a type foundry that produces digital typefaces (fonts). Founded in 1981 by, among others, Matthew Carter and Mike Parker, it claims to be the oldest such company. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Besides building a library of "classic" fonts (usually under different names for trademark reasons), Bitstream has developed a number of fonts itself. The Bitstream font collection is most widely used through its inclusion with the CorelDraw software. They have also made the free font Bitstream Vera.
Another Bitstream product is Font Fusion, a font rasterizing engine developed jointly with Type Solutions.
