It comes in both TrueType and PostScript. Go to for details. At , you can find a sample of westernized shogi pieces, that I produced with "Tendo International." I just displayed it with a large font size and Adobe Type Manager turned on (on a Mac). Then I took a screen shot and turned it into a gif file. What is necessary is a program such as Hans Geuns's that, instead of a bitmapped graphic, uses the Tendo font and life would be bliss. I am sure it is not too difficult to let such a program produce embedded PostScript or even a set of strings that can be pasted into a word processor and to which the Tendo font style can be applied to achieve the desired result.
