This is a must-have set of fonts for anyone who values the classic Macs and their typography. We've had St. Francis for a long time as a SanFran substitution, but the rest of these are either new or greatly improved over other TrueType versions of the old fonts. The Venice interpretation (Valencia) is especially good, as most of the TrueType Venice fonts I've seen haven't been up to par. (This is the best non-Apple Venice I've seen since Cliff Joyce drew several fixed sizes as part of World Class Fonts). It's also nice to have Los Angeles in TrueType form (Los Altos), as I like this type of font for study guides (typically use them when I want to simulate handwriting).

The only one I've tried printing so far is ParcPlace, and it looks great. If only OS X allowed for more customization--it would be one great system font.
