Attendees at the Seybold Seminars Ninety Several people have pointed out to me that people outside the U.S. cannot reach 1-800 numbers. If you wish to order the Type 1 Font Spec., but cannot reach the 800 number, there are still two other options: 1) Call the Adobe Amsterdam office and ask for Christina Pillitu. The Amsterdam office number is 31-20-767-661. 2) Call the Adobe Developer Association voice mailbox in Mountain View, and leave a message requesting the order form, along with your earth-mail address. The Developer Association voice mailbox number is (415) 961-4111. Hope this helps. Ross Jeynes Developer Support jeynes@adobe.com Adobe Systems Incorporated {sun|decwrl}!adobe!jeynes

Thanks, Ross! I ordered mine just a minute ago. Now, the question that many will want to know (and that I forgot to ask on the phone...) What color will this one be?!

Obviously, this book is so important that it subsumes the hypothetical Cyan, Magenta and Yellow books. Hence the cover contains a mix of all three of them. -- geof@aurora.com / aurora!geof@decwrl.dec.com / geof%aurora.com@decwrl.dec.com
