Got my letter today too. B3 is shipping Thursday. Certified Developers
must send their original B2 disks and disk folder to get B3 for free or
send $20 to CATS. They also mentioned that they are planning to refer to
1.4 as 2.0 in the future……the wild speculations continue 🙂

My letter came today – will be sending off ASAP.
On the scheme for "COLOUR FONTS" I believe some great things are possable
if fonts were stored with grayscales. We have done some research and the
quality of text is improved a lot by doing this. The "Jaggies" blend away
and very small fonts are still visable. What do you think?
With ColorFonts, you're free to make grayscale fonts. Have you any you've
made that would demonstrate just how nice they'd look?
Yes indeed John. We did a research project to scale fonts with gray
scales/ Oops. Anyway we wanted to do two things. #1 Scale fonts and do it
so they looked right and #2 use gray scale information as part of the data
to prove one way or the other if it was "Usefull" to do so. We were able
to create a line of text (all caps the alphabet) in a 2*2 (or was it 2*3?)
font and we figured if people could recognize it we were a success. We
went to an AIM show with it and everyone saw it. Lawyers wanted to buy it
for fine print <grin>.
