I notice that MS Windows/386 comes with only four fonts for PostScripts and I am wondering if other Windows based software like PageMaker and Illustrator have more fonts for Windows. I am using MS Write. I am looking for Word Processor that I can check with fonts on the screen before I print out. MS Word is not easy to work with PostScript because fonts have different sizes and it does not display well on the screen before I can print. I am not really serious about getting Pagemaker or Illustrator. Willy

You can obtain additional screen fonts to match the built-in fonts in most PS printers from Adobe or their agents at reasonable cost. However, I'm still trying to get a Symbol screen font. I've purchased the Dingbats and Chancery screen fonts, and they work fine. I'd also like to get hold of a Windows application that builds equations to go into Write or Word. -- Roger Hadgraft | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au@munnari.oz Lecturer in Civil Engineering | phone: +61 3 565 4983 Monash University | fax: +61 3 565 3409 Clayton, Vic. 3168.
