What would be really nice is if you could condense or expand a font with XPress, send a bit of it to the printer, and then suck it back with Metamorphosis, creating a new "Times 21% condensed" face for yourself. (Is this possible, Earl?) I believe you're right about the various formats, and I guess I'd missed that in your comment. My point was that since the program will dupe an entire font (all the characters) *and* the kerning tables all in one fell swoop, it's more appropriate for creating typeface clones than for creating the outline of one single character. But, then, it's all speculation right now… –Thm oops –Thom
