I just received an order form for CompuGraphic's 13 PostScript type volumes. While I don't need any of their type yet, I'd like to get my hands on the Fontliner utility they are bundling until Jan. 1. According to the order form, the utility converts outline characters (Fontographer created I assume, not Adobe) to Illustrator/ Freehand format. The program is credited to a company called Taylored Graphics. Has anyone used it yet? Does anyone know where to find Taylored Graphics? Thanks

I haven't got a line on Taylored Graphics, but I have had the chance ot use FontLiner…works great! It takes your PostScript Font & converts it to an Adobe Illustrator file, as individually grouped drawings, just like the "clip art" alphabets that Adobe released themselves with their Collectors Edition One. FontLiner won't work on Adobe fonts, but it will work on just about any other font on the market (since every other company I know of bases their fonts on Fontographer).
