Certainly I'd like to know where a 72pt character will eventually land, but more importantly, I am interested in the Adobe faces that go wth the LWII NT i.e. New Century Schoolbook. I'd rather not go and crank out over $600 bucks (with tax) for the set (each face is about $139). I have been screwing around with Palentia and I like the scaling the driver does with bit-mapped faces, so I figured I could fudge things until Sys 7 appeared. So, if there are 72pt fonts of New Century schoolbook, Palatino, Bookman, Avante Garde, and Helvetica Narrow around... let me know. nrg -- York University | "No man was ever taken to hell by a woman unless Department of Philosophy | he already had a ticket in his pocket, or at Toronto, Ontario, Canada | least had been fooling around with timetables" _________________________| -- Archie Goodwin
