I have just downloaded the "New Uploads" file Celt1.lzh. IT IS FANTASTIC! Anyone who needs Celtic knotwork/artwork will be amazed! There is also another Celtic artwork file uploaded by the same person. Be prepared, the uncompressed data fills almost three disks! I do a lot of DTP with pagestream, and have tried these files. They are fantastic. Crisp, clean, and good to look at. Many thanks to the person who uploaded. Thanks, Bob Felts, 72762,642

Bob, You seem to be very knowledgeable in the DTP scene. I am somewhat new to this and would like to get a thread going here to talk about ClipArt, Fonts, etc. for PageStream. I recently bought PageStream 1.8, and more recently upgraded to 2.1. I have a few questions that I would like to ask if you don't mind. First of all, do you have 2.1? This is a logical question because that is what I have, and I can apply any questions that I may ask you about the program to my software. SoftLogik has a section in the AtariVen (boo) forum. Do you know if the ClipArt and Fonts in that library will work with the Amiga version. The reason I ask is that the person who does support for them on CIS uses an ST, and he isn't much help when it comes to the Amiga. In fact, I'm lucky if I can get him to respond to any of my messages. Also, are there any other forums on CIS (besides the Amiga forums and the Atariven forum) where I can find ClipArt and Fonts that will work with PS2.1? Like I said, I'm very new to this scene, and any help you can throw my way will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jim Halley – via Whap!

Jim, doesn't PageStream 2.1 say that they will now work with ProDraw clips? And edit them within PageStream? I haven't tried this yet, but if it does work as they say there are several clip-art packages of ProDraw stuff. There is probably a fair amount of ProDraw clip art available here in the libraries. For fonts I am using Gold Disks extra set of CG fonts, which I find work very well. I know that there have been a *ton* of PostScript fonts uploaded here recently that will work with PageStream also. Hope this helps. –jp–seattle–

Jim, Jumping in here, one of PageStream's strong points is its ability to import a WIDE variety of graphics formats. You should be able to import CIS gif files, macpaint files from the MAC forums, TIFF files from the IBM forums, prodraw clips, all the Atari graphics formats, and much more. Now that PgS supports PageStream fonts, Compugraphic fonts, and Adobe fonts the choice of fonts is wide open! I've been busy filling a 20meg partition of my hd with pd fonts. Most of which I will never probably need to use! But it is nice to know I have them. . .just in case. -Paul-

Paul, *you* were the one I wanted to mention that has been uploading the PS fonts. From me, at least, a big thanks. –jp–seattle–

Thanks, but someone else has also been doing a great deal of uploading. Recently he/she has beaten me to the punch on uploading fonts from the Soft Logik BBS. In fact fonts I've never seen before are showing up here, and lately all I've been doing is downloading. Isn't this avalanche of fonts great! Now if I can only find a use for them all! -Paul-

Yeah, I am filling a SyQuest cartridge full of fonts. But "fonts are cheap, design is expensive", so my wife says. Thanks for the ones you are uploading tho. –jp–seattle–
