We are using Ventura Publisher and printing to an HP LaserJet II printer. My problem is that the set of fonts provided with Ventura is a bit too limited for our purposes. I know I could get a PostScript printer but that seems like overkill. We are using the Swiss and Dutch typefaces and would like to have normal, bold and italic in the larger sizes ( 14,18 and 24 pt ), but only bold seems to be provided. It would also be nice to have these typefaces in a few different sizes ( eg 9pt, 11pt, 16pt, 30pt ). Could someone please tell me where I can get the additional sizes and weights for these typefaces. Thanks in Advance ============================================================================= Malcolm Dunnett CDNNET: dunnett@mala.bcc.cdn Malaspina College Internet: dunnett@mala.bc.ca 900 Fifth Street Nanaimo, B.C.

Thanks in Advance Bitstream sells font outline prototypes from which (with their installation kit) you can create fonts of virtually any size, stroke, etc. The installation kit takes care of creating the necessary printer font, screen font, .VFM files, and width tables. Their fonts are very clean and will closely match the set already in use by Ventura. -- James F. Adams John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
