Paul, By the way, we now have 4 volumes of additional fonts that will work with PageStream (and ProPage, and excellence!, and so on) and PixelScript! They are PostScript fonts (not Adobe's – they're our own) and can be downloaded to a PostScript printer (easiest with our soon-to-be-released PostScript font downloader). Get great output from PageStream and PixelScript! (We do encapsulated PostScript clip art too!) Justin/Pixelations

Thanks for the information. I have received your flyer and have seen the samples. They are beautiful! I assume that you are including screen font data for PgS so that you seen an approximation of the font on screen. But will Propage 1.3 create screen fonts on the fly like it does with it's own fonts? BTW in you flyer you show three examples of clip art for volume one. One is a flower, one is a pointing hand, but what is that third think anyway!

Paul, Yes, we include screen fonts for PageStream. ProPage will handle our fonts the way it does non-Compugraphic fonts: it will scale the bit map versions for the screen but will print with the full resolution PostScript versions. The third EPS clip is a "gentleman tipping his hat" (such ornaments are usually called "spots"). You are probably more familiar with spots such as a vine leaf, or a bunch of grapes. Justin

Justin, Are your PostScript fonts type 1 (Adobe proprietary type with hints and encryption) or type 3? Will the font downloader work with Adobe fonts? I have several Adobe type packages. I presently have to go through the irritiation of downloading them to my Laserwriter from a PC with the Adobe downloader, then hooking the printer up to the Amiga. Ugh! Rich

Our PostScript fonts are type 3, but we're trying to make our downloader work with type 1 fonts as well.
