[comp.text.desktop] MS-Windows - equations, Word, Symbol font ?

hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au (Roger Hadgraft) (06/04/89)

Is anyone out there using MS-Windows for desktop publishing? If so, can you
answer a couple of questions.

1. IBM released with DOS 4.00 some Windows utilities, one of which was called
IBM Formula, and allowed creation of equations under Windows (to embed in text).
Does anyone have a copy? What's it like?

2. Has Microsoft released Word for Windows yet in the USA?

3. Has anyone got a Symbol screen font for Windows. (Symbol is a built-in font
in Postscript printers).

Thanks in advance.

Pagemaker 3.0, which runs under Windows, has a built in set of fonts
for the Apple Laserwriter Plus, among them is Symbols (basically a
Greek letter set)
