Justin, I was one of the first to request your brochure, which I received a
while back. I will definitely order your program – I'm just waiting for my
finances to recover from all the money I've recently "saved" from special
offers on Deskjet, M2Sprint, X-CAD, and various other upgrades! I've been
reading the Adobe PostScript reference manual (red book) in my little spare
time recently, so I'm very interested in using PrintScript to try out some
custom programs. Regarding its use for DTP, though, I see the lack of a
more complete font library as a potentially severe limitation. As I
understand it, even the Times-"like" and Helvetica-"like" fonts you supply
don't have the same metrics as the de facto standard Adobe versions. Will
you be fixing this and/or adding more of the popular fonts in the near
future? Also, I'd like to know if there is any problem using the PageStream
fonts that _do_ include downloadable PostScript code (i.e. the
non-Adobe-clone fonts). Joel
