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
