So do it!
Talk Gary into having support for a proprietary 3DS font format in addition to
type 1 ( and I would guess True type in Rel. 5)
or ………What if you made your own format and made it only work with a
special IPAS routine? then people would have to buy the IPAS (which could also
take care of the real time bevel functions) .It could have some kind of copy
protection for your peace of mind and would allow us legit 3DS users the
benefit of your great fonts and programs.
just my 2 cents
