Short story: I need a MacIntosh screen (bitmap) version of New Century Schoolbook in 11 pt size. Anybody have one? Or know a source? Thanks. Long story: Expressionist is a Mac application for typesetting mathematics. It's great for my purposes, EXCEPT that it's not very smart about type sizes. I want to match some 11 pt New Century Schoolbook body text in equations, but I have to go through various gymnastics to do this. Expressionist only wants to use 9, 10, 12 etc point fonts. The tech-support people say that it gets this list from the Mac system file, and if I add a screen font in 11pt size to the system all will function nicely. I believe them and want to try it, so if you have such a thing I would appreciate a copy. I don't think it's copyright, as the screen fonts appear on various archive machines, and in any case I already have the Postscript fonts from Adobe.... Even longer details: I'm not sure about the explanation though, as I use ATM and the only size in the actual system file is 10pt. Where's the size list actually come from? But in any case, by doing various mouse clicks I can make characters 11pt and all is OK, so Expressionist can be made to USE 11pt. The problem is that it doesn't want to - as it makes characaters larger and smaller, it skips over 11pt. Every time I enter a subscript or superscript, then want to go back to 11pt text it jumps back to 12, so I have to click, click, etc. Thanks for any assistance. If there's interest, I'll summarise email.
