Neil: MIfont converts Mac PostScript screen fonts for use with Professional Page (basically, you get Amiga standard bitmap fonts and PPage metric files). It also "decompresses" Mac or IBM Type 1 fonts and renames them in such a way that PPage will automatically download them if you use the screen fonts. It also contains management tools for handling HUGE numbers of Amiga bitmap fonts (we have 629 Adobe screen fonts on our system and are going to be adding another 300 this week). There's a demo of it here called MIFONT.LZH. Many people want to know "what good are just the screen fonts?" Well, since alot of people output their stuff at service bureaus, with our system, you can have on-line access to thousands of fonts without the expense of actually purchasing the printer fonts. And Adobe has most of it's screen fonts on CIS free for the taking (well, almost free). It does other things as well. And no, there is no ATM for the Amiga but I've heard rumours about C= getting into bed with a popular outline font vendor and it doesn't sound too healthy if you ask me… Cryptic as always, Gary – Mirror Image Prod.
