[comp.sys.mac] Adobe Screen Fonts?

dsj@alice.UUCP (David S. Johnson) (02/09/89)

I understand that to get best results from a postscript printer, one
should use the Adobe screen fonts that correspond to their postscript
fonts.  Is this correct, and if so, how can I obtain these screen fonts?

I seem to recall that they are public domain, but don't know which public
domain to look for them in.  (We're using a QMS postscript printer, which
came with all its fonts built in, and without any floppy disks that might
have been a potential source.)

I don't have a clue.  I recently downloaded the Adobe Times fonts
from sumex.  I took out the old Times and put in the new Times.

My confusion is this:  since both of these are screen fonts for
Times, shouldn't they space the words identically?  I mean, screen

Please post responses.  I've been wondering the same thing.
