Lloyd, Let me start by saying that I wasn't stating that ProPage is better than PageStream for non-PS output. I don't do a great deal of DTP and I don't do any to a non-PS device. I was not aware that PageStream supported Adobe fonts and could use them for non-PS output. Are they fully scaleable? While I know that PageStream has had Outline Font tech for a while, it is the opinion of allmost eveyone I have talked to that they (the PageStream format fonts) are not of the same quality at the CG fonts. Also the CG fonts have the advantage of being able to output to PS and non-PS devices alike. AGFA (the makers of the CG font technology) are one of the leaders in the DTP industry, and their fonts are very well respected. -Jason
