Right. I just called. The platform is the difference. Bitstream is
obviously putting their effort into fonts for the MAC with postscript and
not bothering with the IBM world, postscript or not. Those fonts available
for IBM can be installed as bitmapped or postscript, but the choices are
fewer than for the MAC. Now I'm aggravated all over again (as if I can pay
for much more in the way of fonts at the moment, or as if I can afford
other available packages I would like to have; just don't much like being
discriminated against)! With the availability of relatively cheap
postscript cartridges for all the installed LJs, perhaps Bitstream will
spare a little effort soon for the IBM crowd. Wonder what the actual
numbers are of IBM-postscript & bitmapped vs. Mac-postscript combos
installed. Guess I'll write a little letter as soon as I escape my present
logjam:-)
