Hi Steve After the Seybold Conference we are back in Switzerland. And the discussion about the annoncements on Seybold continues in our seminars… We are a little bit angry about the impacts of the MS-Apple "Royal" fonts and an eventually different Bauer PDL on high-resolution image setters. But unfortunatly we don't know very much about the developments of Apple and Microsoft. So I like to ask you (and all other forum-members) the following questions: – Which are the differences between Adobe-(Type-1)-Fonts and Royal-Fonts ? – Were happens the rasterization of the Royal-Fonts (in the RIP ? in the MAC ?) – Could an existing Adobe-RIP deal with the new Royal-Fonts ? – Will there be a conversion between Royal-Fonts and Adobe-Fonts ? Kind regards… Stephan Jaeggi, Swiss Printers Association
