I'd like to put in a plug for Interfont to handle the complete range of font options that PageStream and other programs use – for each font, there are (often several sizes of) screen bitmap fonts, plus the PageStream native dot matrix outline format, plus the downloadable PostScript outline format, plus of course the associated metric and kerning files. The PostScript capability would also port fonts over to the new PrintScript program, which is sorely lacking in this area. I would certainly have bought Interfont already if it had the DTP capabilities – I just am not very involved with 3-D rendering at this time. On my last project with PageStream, I would have used Interfont (or Pro Draw ported into Interfont) to design a few symbol characters that aren't currently well supported by PageStream. Joel
