I think I'd agree with you there … PostScript fonts are almost the de
facto standard now, mainly because their technology has been publicly
available for some time (Type-3 fonts for a very long time, Type-1's since
Adobe were forced to publish the standard).
I can't understand AGFA's reluctance to make the info more widely
available, and in the end I suspect that they will lose their market share
more and more. I am also surprised that the same thing has not happened to
them as happened to Adobe over Type-1 fonts (although I suppose AGFA would
argue that their font standard _is_ available … it just costs a lot)
I wonder why you say that the Amiga will never have Adobe font support …
I think that it will come, and it will be sooner rather than later.
As for Compugraphic fonts not having "hints" … the Compugraphic
Intellifont standard does have hinting.
