Win - 203KB/Mac - 406KB Tangram Graphic and Font filesVectors.zip (Win):/Vectors.sit (Mac): Encapsulated Postscript, Freehand, Windows Metafile, Flash, CorelDRAW, PowerPoint and Adobe files. My thanks to James Belleau. He has kindly donated sets of the tan shapes in a number of vector file formats. If you're unfamiliar with the vector formats, they allow you to resize and manipulate the shapes without changing the quality of the image. If you've ever tried to resize the other type of graphics file (bitmapped, such as .bmp, .gif, etc.) you know they don't respond well. James has covered most vector formats in his package. More details on the files can be found in formats.txt, included in the vectors package. Win - 97KB/Mac - 108KB Textan: PC Type 1 / PC True Type / Mac Type 1 - Rich Parks designed and executed this well done set of 3 tangram fonts for Windows or Mac. Put a smile on my face when I stumbled across it at Apostrophiclab.com. Almost all the shapes are solvable, watch out for the G, K, X and Y and maybe others, though. A justifiable bit of artistic license for the sake of the font. You're on your own for the solutions sheet with this one. Any one care to make a matching solution font?
