Sorry about not responding to your question earlier. I do not remember receiving it. I will check back again. What sizes are these large sized fonts that you got from Apple? I was not aware of changes to the fonts that were being distributed. It has always been possible if an application supports it to select a larger point size font than that which is installed. The application will approximate the screen font but the PostScript output will reflect the accurated scaled outline font. I also read the response given by Steve Werner and it is accurate. We continue to urge users to select the actual fonts. In addition, the most important thing is consistency. If you are using only the style menu or the actual fonts and not mix and matching the two, you are more likely to avoid problems. -Esther Kletter
