Timothy, I got a reply (finally) to my email to Pixelations. I was told by Justin that the Amiga is no longer supported by them. That's not the same thing as not upgrading PixelScript if they support other machines. I asked for clarification on this point. We'll see. Also, maybe I can get 1.1h from him. Are you saying I can copy PostScript fonts from other platforms and put them in the fonts drawer with the .pxsfont extension to add more fonts to my system? Do I need to convert them in some way? What do I do for screen fonts? I tried Post and was wholly unimpressed. It crashed my machine on a regular basis, and even when it didn't I never got any output. I'm sure I had something configured wrong, but I had no way to figure out what it might have been; the documentation didn't help. I don't remember what version I was working with at the time (might have been 1.2), but I got gunshy after a few crashes and lengthy, unproductive waits. Also, there didn't seem to be any way to add more fonts. I guess our experiences don't match very well. Is 1.6 in the libraries here somewhere? I suppose I could try it again with this latest version and see if I get better results. MCR – San Jose, CA CIS: 76450,26 Internet: mcr@unison.com
