We're missing the Microsoft TrueType Font Pack 2 version 1.0.
Does anyone have it?

Elmobay

See if these work for you.

SomeGuy

Wait, I'm confused. We already have Font Pack 2. It is under this product as "2.0". Those disks are better dumps, but the contents are otherwise identical. Are we saying there are other revisions of Font Pack 2?

Hmmm. Just glanced at a photo, and I do see the boxes call it "Font Pack 2 v1.0", so perhaps 2 should be under a separate product?

Elmobay

Someguy, here are is the scan of the actual disks. The other option would be to change the title to remove the "1.x" It would be convenient if these were all available in one place.

Elmobay, you have version 1.0A of the pack (their files are dated 1993)!
Version 1.0's files are dated 1992.

Elmobay

Maybe someone else will have a copy of that particular 1.0 version from 1992....

SomeGuy

What source do you have that shows a 1992 date? Is there supposed to be a major difference between versions? Also, since we don't have the boxes with the version stickers on the bottom, do these disk images say "2.0" in it somewhere? The volume label has "10A" in it, but that could mean something else. Looking it up in periodicals, it does appear Font Pack 2 was first released in 1992.

It was confirmed that this was clearly a concocted image. (Not dumped from original media.)
