We have a 3130 and a 4d series machine. The general opinion here is that the default font on the 3130 is much easier to read than the one you get on the 4d. In fact, I went through all of the fonts on our 4d machine and wasn't particularly keen on any of them. Does anyone have a font for a 4d machine which is about the same size and design of the 3130 font? Thanks. Jim Diamond zsd@pig.drea.dnd.ca

Since release 3.0 we have been providing a font manager library (libfm) that has a large collection of fonts which it can scale and rotate. It gives you access to the same font machinery used by the PostScript interpreter in NeWS. wsh can use any of those fonts. It's not limited to the ones it lists in its menus. There is even a 24-point courier that should be big enough for anyone to read. Note that fixed width fonts tend to work better with wsh. All of the X fonts have been added to the collection with effect from Release 3.1. -- -Mark

Can anyone tell me where I can get fonts for the IRIS font manager. The FM says Adobe Binary Distribution Format fonts are the best, how can I get these? If it only takes money thats no problem. Thanks, Bruno
