This was my impression of the HP/Bitstream rendition of Optima (aka "Zapf Humanist") as a LaserJet SoftFont family. I had long ago developed a fondness for Optima when I played with phototypesetters. Has anyone used (either of) Adobe's Optima families on a LaserJet III with HP's (Adobe-licensed) PS cartridge, and *with RET enabled* ? Does it meet your critical expectations? [ I have been *very* impressed with the effectiveness of the RET (Resolution Enancement Technology) (tm); also, it is a "neat hack". ] Please let me know; I dislike blind decisions.
