James:
If you want to use PD typefaces with MIfont, your best bet is to look in
the DTP forum or MAC forum. MIfont only converts MAC bitmaps, so getting
IBM fonts won't help you much with MIfont and PPage. For commercial fonts,
you'll need to go to a Mac dealer and ask what they have. And then you'll
need to figure out some way to get the Mac files onto your Amiga (Amax,
Mac-to-Dos, etc.). We are also making the Adobe library of bitmap screen
fonts available for about $5 a disk in quanity (971 screen fonts so far),
already on Amiga disk, ready to be converted with MIfont. There's a viewer
here on CIS that we created; can't remember the name of the file. Just do a
keyword search for "MI" in Word Processing/DTP. If you use these Adobe
bitmaps, you'll, of course, need to purchase each corresponding printer
font from Adobe, or if you use an output service, they'll have the printer
fonts there.
