Note: This is a collection I have assembled from various sources. There is a notation in the archive that there are some missing fonts, specifically:
Paradox Black and Black Italic (6 total)
Unico Medium Italic and Bold Italic (6 total)

Now, there is a discrepancy in the fonts listed in each family between DTL's main website and their online shop. I am actually not sure if those fonts are "missing" or not. Nevertheless, I'm letting you know. Even if they are missing, they are not "core" fonts, and I have never missed them. If you do happen to have them, drop me a PM, I'd love to complete the collection.

This is not original OTF fonts, but a homemade conversion from Type1. Not much of use.

@grief,
I have reviewed these fonts thoroughly, using Typograf v4.8f. While these appear to be converted Type 1 fonts, the person(s) who did it appeared to know what they were doing, as the kerning and outline information appears to be fully intact for the vast majority of the supplied fonts. In fact, the only problem appears to be that the Documenta T regular, Documenta T Medium, Documenta T Italic, and Documenta T Bold lack kerning information, although the outlines and glyphs appear to be intact. If you can specifically point to any more problems, then of course that information is welcome. Merely stating "not of much use" is frankly not of much use, to me as the poster or anyone else here.

@nata_creation,
thanks for the kind commnts, much appreciated. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks for teh great post incerta!

You guys sure seem to know your fonts... I'm a designer but not as knowledgable with fonts as you guys are. Where is a good place learn more (websites/books)?

@incerta

You need at least two OpenType features for preventing the kern feature to be ignored by InDesign CS2.

>> the person(s) who did it appeared to know what they were doing

I don't think so :) It looks like he just opened fonts in FontLab and saved them as OTF.

Much as it pains me to admit it, grief may be correct. Fortunately, I am compulsive in my font collection habits, and I also have a Dutch Type Library collection with the same 14 font families in PostScript Type 1 format. Like the OT version above, it has been assembled from various sources. They appear to be in good shape, but please exercise due diligence. I have uploaded this here:

Now you have a choice! And as always, I welcome your comments.

guy's u are simply pros!!!
Although I'm not a font expert, I try to improve myself on a daily bases!!! I would like to mention that correct font design and creation, in general typography, is one of the most difficult areas within design!!!
Maybe it's because it's very difficult to percieve letters as shapes rather than the sounds they representt!!!!
I fully support riceless... Please, "Where is a good place learn more (websites/books)?"
OOO I remembered, I know one very good site: www.designingwithtype.com
