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.
