Did you notice that at several points in the Q&A announcement for System 7.0, Apple deliberately stated things like "oh well, Microsoft is doing X, but what we're doing is so much better..." I wonder why Apple is so intent on singling out Microsoft, especially since Adobe recently announced that it didn't intend to adhere to Apple's new outline font technology, preferring to stay with its own technology. Could it be the lawsuit? Hmm. Ben Waldman waldman@endor.harvard.edu

Well, I think Adobe is finally in deep yogurt anyway, given that Bitstream
claims to have "cracked" the Adobe font encryption scheme. I can see
PostScript processors going the way of the IBM BIOS real soon now ...
