Lloyd: The original 1 disk that GD put out was the 35 fonts that are resident in MOST postscript printers. The 35 DISKS I was talking about are other fonts like Bodini and Park Avenue, etc. As for screen representations, I *THINK* that the GD fonts will be compatible with C='s implementation of Compugraphic fonts, and so you'll be able to use them for the screen in all (most) programs once that's added to the OS. I also happen to have a PS printer, and as a matter of fact, along with having all the 35 fonts installed on my system disk as well as in my printer, when I bought extra fonts disk from golddisk I promply made PS versions of them with their utility to do so, as well as Amiga bitmapped versions of them and when I use ProPage I only use the PS versions of the fonts, and NOT the Compugraphic ones (I find they're too slow for my liking, and I'm not that concerned with smooth beautiful fonts onscreen, but only on paper!). I prefer speed to smoothness for the screen display. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
