Huh? Zapf Humanist 601 is available in at least the following:
Regular
Bold
Bold Italic
Demi
Demi Italic
Ultra
Ultra Italic
They've been around a long time, too - some of mine came with
Micrografx, which I haven't updated since Corel bought them about ten
years ago.

That depends on WHICH CG Omega you're talking about. I just downloaded
a 1995 ©Elseware one that has many more glyphs than any of BT's, but
no Euro symbol. A 1998 version with an HP copyright notice does have
it, and a 1992 version with the Miles © crashed FontLab.
