Can anybody comment on the strengths/weaknesses of various font generators and managers for MS Windows 3.0 or refer me to reviews of same ? I'm aware of a few released/announced: WYSIFONTS (Softcraft) HP (dont know the name) Adobe Type Manager Facelift (Bitstream) any others ?

I use Adobe Type Manager that I bout for $65US and think it is well done and worth the bucks. Not only does my screen look nice, but it is also accurate to character shape and position and the line ends on my dot matrix match thos of the laser. I also get some fantastic large character output on the dot matrix which isn't possible without ATM. One you missed is Zenographics SuperPrint. My understanding from talking to a superprint owner is that it is a set of LaserJet print drivers for windows and Bitstream fonts that work with these drivers. The person I spoke to was disappointed in the fonts. Wants real Adobe fonts. Should be possible to use Adobe fonts with SuperPrint. The printer drivers are fast for the LaserJet. Real Fast. My understanding is that the SuperPrint font technology only works with their printer drivers and NOT other windows drivers thus you get none of the benefits on scummy dot matrix printers. I would like to hear from other sources whether this is an accurate description. Like I said, I am happy with ATM!! I am also happy with Adobe in general. tj
