Phil, I have question regarding CGFonts used with PPage and the Workbench outline fonts which appear to be the same. What is the difference between them. Can I use the systems fonts with PPage John calling from Darwin Australia "The Top End" – via Whap!

John, WB2.0 system fonts can not be used with Professional Page 3.0 (or earlier). PPage requires a specific file format, which was created before WB supported outline fonts. However, Gold Disk Type (GDT), when correctly installed into an assigned CGFonts directory, can be accessed by other programs that support WB outline fonts when accessed throught the WB utility called FOUNTAIN. We are currently looking at support for Agfa Outline Fonts in the standard FAIS format. Philip Laitar Supervisor
