I'm taking a chance to sound silly here, but here goes anyway. I just got my 3DS2 upgrade last week, (and I'm a VERY happy camper now) and was wondering about its capabilities of importing Adobe Type 1 Fonts. Since I also use Corel Draw, and it converts its fonts into Type 1 format I thought I'd try a font, but 3DS2 would'nt use it as a valid font. I'd like to know if the Corel conversions are compatible with 3DS2 or if I'm doing something wrong? Thanks to all in advance. -= Rav =-

Ravi, Sounds like your using an ancient version of wfnboss, either get the latest wfnboss for 2.01 or upgrade to version 3, which has both truetype and type 1 fonts on the CD. James

yep sure is. some need to fixed once in the 2dshaper but you can use them and corel draw also has a 3 by 2 foot chart showing all the fonts. really neet expecialy if you do alot of logo work where you need to match the font to there logo. sherwood
