Sounds like Gold Disk found and corrected the problem before releasing PPage. But then again PageStream aspires to do MUCH more with the CG fonts. PPage only needs to display text in its normal upwrite position in a very limited number of fixed magnifications. PageStream displays text at any magnification (like a CAD ZOOM function). It also will display & print text that has been rotated at any angle about any or all of the three axis! Now I dont know whether this means that PageStream used more of the CG driver module than PPage, or whether they adapted there own code, but it certainly was a more complicated task. I am willing to wait a LITTLE time for SL to get it straightened out. -Paul-
