Jim:
Adobe does publish a type catalog (called the Adobe Type Guide) for about
$20 US which shows characters sets of all it's fonts. It's a good deal and
you can order it direct from them. We also have a catalog showing the name
of each font in it's own face and we mail it out free with our information
packages. About using MIfont: you've got it. Having over 600 fonts online,
all the time, has really given us alot of freedom to experiment and choose
the right face for the job. You're right, though; proofing is a problem
sometimes and if a job should require extensive proofing and very fine
tuning on screen, it's probably best to try to hunt down the CG equivilent.
However, we've produced all our artwork (manuals, lables, ads, etc.) using
just our fonts and PPage and have had no trouble at all. You should get the
demo (MIFONT.LZH) and try it out if you want a clearer idea of what all
this is about.
Gary.
