Seems to me that when I got my Release 9, most of the new fonts were available only in the compiled form. Has this changed? .. Would there be any problem with you uploading the source for those fonts to the data library? .. Thanks, .. Lansing ..

Lansing: Without getting out my disks to look, aren't they in a separate sub-directory or on a bonus disk, etc? Craig.

No, this has not changed; the uncompiled new fonts are not supplied, but can be mailed to customers at the request of their dealer. As for uploading the fonts to a DL, the general consensus seems to be: just download the de-compiler in DL10 (SHX2SH.ARC), and uncompile the fonts yerself! =SM=

I think that's a perfectly reasonable approach. Thanks! .. ..

I think it makes sense. Have you tried the .SHX de-compressor? It is quite remarkable tool. Having it also allows you blow away the .SHP files from your disk. When ever you need the source, you can re-create it. Jamie
