Gary, " . . . I've got 1000 Adobe screen fonts on my poor old 2000 that I can use any time with PPage . . .All it costs is a buck . . . to proof it at my output service (who have the printer fonts). And I get to choose the whole library . . . Yes. Agreed. But _someone_ (a service bureau) has to buy the printer fonts. AND you have bit maps (screen fonts) available only for small sizes. The inability to use the fonts in large sizes in smooth outline form is _very_ limiting. Besides which, there is a very hard rule of graphic design which states that the need for a specific type face (in display sizes, natch) is inversely proportional to the chance that you have that typeface in your posession (sic).
