I am looking for a source of screen representations of fonts from the Adobe type library that I can use in desktop publishing applications on my Amiga computer using Professional Page software. Anyone know where I might find these? Is there any way to convert Postscript screen fonts from Macintosh or IBM format for use on Amiga that anyone knows about?

There is a public domain program that converts Mac fonts to Amiga format. The Adobe forum here on Compuserve is full of screen-rep fonts, but it would cost quite a bit to download them all. Adobe sells disks of them for about $150, cheaper than it would be to download… But why do you need more screen-rep fonts than those provided on the Pro Page disk? They provide fonts for all 35 standard PostScript fonts.
