Several people have asked if they can use “the Mimi & Eunice font” for translations. It happens I don’t use a font – I actually hand-letter these suckers, trying to be messy. Apparently I haven’t succeeded, because even my messy hand-lettering looks a lot like my cleaner lettering from the late 1990’s, which I do have a font of. It’s called “Nina,” and I made it with Fontographer on my very first Mac – in fact it was my first Mac project ever. At long last I’m sharing it freely with everyone:
“Nina” Fonts on the Internet Archive
It’s a zipped file containing 3 versions: light, medium, and bold. Light and bold are probably sufficient; you can dispense with the medium for most uses. The format is old Mac “suitcase” (.suit) and may need to be converted into other, newer font formats. If you convert it, please upload your conversions back to archive.org (or send them to me to upload on the same page) so they can be shared too. Here’s an example of a Mimi & Eunice translated into Brazilian Portugese by Rafael Monteiro:
Original (English) comic here.

Thanks Nina, I really enjoy your work.
Boy- dat free t’ing’s a real abbatross around yer neck, no?
Rock on rocker of rocking.
I got this message: This item is not yet public. You must log in first if you are the item’s owner and wish to make it available (!?)
Archive has been weird today. It made me classify the thing as audio, video, or text. I chose text. It hould still download as a .zip file. Now it looks like only the .tff shows up, and the .suit is gone. But try it anyway.
that’s tight
Thank you!
There’s a real need for good, free hand-letter-look fonts.
There’s probably better places to post a font. I may try to make a Debian package version as an example this month (I’ve been planning to write a “Make a simple Debian Package” tutorial for several months now).
Thank you very much; I am in dear need of a font like this for creating more accessible worksheets for my students. 🙂
However when I follow the link, I see pretty much everything BUT a download link……? How do I actually download the font from the page given? (Maybe I’m too thick on a Friday night.)
Maybe one of the people who’s been able to download `Nina’ from archive.org can upload it to openfontlibrary.org? The page says, “Downloaded 105 times”, but no, Anna, you’re not alone: I don’t see a download-link either.
Oh, here we go: according to archive.org conventions, it looks like the Nina’s zip-file is currently available at http://www.archive.org/download/NinaPaleyFonts/.
The direct link is http://www.archive.org/download/NinaPaleyFonts/Nina_fonts_ttf.zip.
BTW, Nina, it seems that Rafael Monteiro might have added diacritical marks to your font, which are essential to anyone wanting to use it in German, French, Italian, Spanish and many other languages that use the Latin alphabet.
How about contacting Rafael Monteiro so that his improvements could be made available to everybody?
Thanks for your help,
