Dennis, I noticed your comment re: what your "in-house guru" told you about the PC fonts. Currently, yes they can only be downloaded via serial port, HOWEVER, in the next week or so we will have a new version of PC fonts that can be downloaded over parallel port as well as serial. As a registered owner of PC fonts, you will be sent the enhanced Rev 2 downloaders free of charge. Just thought I'd pass it along… Lori Haines, Sysop

Lori, Sorry, but I don't quite understand your reply. I don't think we bought PC fonts. We have the fonts that came in our NEC and I have purchased one additional set of fonts (Helvetica light and bold) from Adobe. (That set came with screen fonts, as well.) I presume you are affiliated with or an employee of Adobe. How will I be able to update my hardware or software to download via the parallel cable? And how might I obtain screen fonts for the fonts in the NEC890 for use with an IBM AT and Ventura Publisher. I'm just getting started with this, so pardon my slowness. I'm reading like crazy! (But some of my employees are ahead…) ..Dennis p.s. BTW, I've seen quite a bit of discussion about a VP forum. I'd welcome a section right here in the Adobe forum.
