I just got off the phone with someone in tech support at Compugraphic. Apparently they don't know about any non-disclosure agreements. I was told point blank that Commodore IS integrating Compugraphic font technology into the OS, hopefully in 1.4. The sale of all of CG's font technology for the Amiga will be through Gold Disk, thus Commodore will pay Gold Disk for the fonts which CBM will then put into WB. I was told that the programming is going on in Los Gatos, but it was my understanding that all the techs were in West Chester. That's probably my misunderstanding. This is very juicy info. and will put the Amiga well ahead of Macintosh in terms of operating systems AND Desktop Publishing, as so much work will be saved. This is the best piece of info. I've heard in a while. Maybe CBM is going for a 512K KS to put some fonts in ROM? Does anyone know if there is an equivalent Postscript Printer for Compugraphic? -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu Compu$erve : 70137,3271 Anyone giving away Amigas or Sharp Scanners???
