Checkers or draughts font
I made a checkers or draughts font. This is also useful for chess variantsthat use checkers pieces. Rules of use, and borders are the same as forthe Chess Utrecht font: see The description of ChessUtrecht. This is not sufficiently tested: let me know if it works onyour machine. Also, I'm not sure this is really the correct version..
