Gracia,
As far as I am aware, all of the `licensable' Agfa fonts are in the
catalogue. A future version of FontManager may allow you to convert any
AGFA font for use with PPage and PDraw.
Any font can be ordered from the catalogue…the only important thing to
remember is that if you want a Bold, Italic or Bold/Italic version you will
need to have the Roman or Book face as well as the B, I or BI face. Fonts
not in pre-packaged sets can be ordered through our Customer Service
department.
Gracia, it is important to remember that this is Technical Support,
however, I will try to answer some of your other questions:
Q>why does the arrow become an annoying Buzz when you use the pull dowm
menus in ProDraw3?
A>I have no idea…we (Tech Support or Development) don't notice a noise.
Q>Why is Trace still so tacky looking?
A>No Technical Answer available for this one…sorry.
Q>Why ProDraw for for Windows so fabulous…
A>Because it is…if you mean by comparison to PDRAW on the AMiga, mainly
because it started from scratch by a different development team, on a
different platform…starting from scratch allows a great deal of
possibilities. Will PDRAW Amiga reach these height, I can not fairly
comment about this at this time. This isn't really Tech's area.
Q>why did GD send me it's Windows flyer when I was about to get a ho hum
Amiga upgrade?
A>I don't agree that the PDRAW3.0 upgrade is `ho hum'…but that is here
nor there…why you got the flyer, maybe you requested it, maybe you
requested a PD3.0 flyer and got PDW, specifically I can't say why. BUT I
can say, that AMIGA users will not be `protected' from PDW or any of our
windows software…we are proud of our Windows software and if users can
take advantage of it they should know about it.
Perhaps the only thing we may be guilty of is using the same name for both
software packages…but PDW would have been released regardless.
Philip,
Thanks for answering my questions. Sorry to bug you, but I was VERY
frustrated trying to do a newsletter for some one. If indeed CGTimes and
GGTriumverate were never intended to be converted by CreateFont, that
SHOULD have been stated some where. I certainly wish I had known that
BEFORE I ordered CGTimes Italic, bold & italic bold the other day. I was
being sarcastic about the Windows flyer. I apologize, I know you are not
personally responsible for GD's quirks.
BTW the "buzz I was talking about is not a noise, but the "busy" pointer
that gets in the way of seeing what you want to choose. If I click VERY
carefully it doesn't appear. Just another small pain in the a– and
something to make one worry how stability the program.
I hope you're right about some one working on Post, but I haven't heard
anything.

Your pointer going busy is odd to me…I have not noticed it on any machine
here when pulling down menus. When the pointer goes busy it is do to timing
of the machine and maybe on yours it is a little different…I don't think
it is something you should worry about.
If you have the 35 outline series of CGFONTS and have installed them
correctly on your harddrive, you may be able to create a PS dowload of both
times and triumvarite. Times will be converted to a PS download called
`Times-Roman.psfont' and Triumbarite will be converted to a ps download
called `Helvetica.psfont'. The Bold/Italic versions may convert as as
well…but the TIMES/TRIUMVARITE with PPage will not.
These may work with Post.
