From what I understand, Apple has provided a TrueType Init used on systems
other than 7.0 . This Init is provided free of charge however I am not
certain about the supporting fonts. I have been looking for this Init all to
no avail. Would be nice to actually see first hand how this font style looks
before comitting my system to the up comming 7.0 . Can anyone help? My name
is Ken and I would apprishiate any info on this. Many Thanks!

The INIT that is needed in conjunction with 6.0.7 is included with the Apple
StyleWriter that has recently been released. It is "free of charge."
However, I'm not sure if Apple has agreed to allow copies of this INIT to be
released on bulletin boards. System 6.0.7 is required, and this can be
obtained at dealers, etc. They may also give you (or most likely sell you) a
copy of the INIT as well as the True Type fonts. (You also need the new
version of Font/Da Mover 4.1 to copy these new fonts.) If you've used or seen
ATM, however, the appearance is virtually identical although there are some
differences. Whether one is better than the other is quite debatable.

I guess that means they allow it on any bulletin board they've allowed things in the past. They'll probably allow System 7 also. Anyone dumb enough to pay about $200 to download it from Compuserve instead of $99 to get the disk and manuals is welcome to it. If they didn't people would complain.
