How well does Adobe Type Manager do at providing additional
PostScript fonts to a true PostScript printer with a limited number
of typefaces?
I have the IBM 4019 printer with the economy PostScript option and
4 MB of RAM and was wondering how well printing works with the
downloaded typefaces. Some specific questions are:
Does the font downloading take a long time?
How much memory do donloaded fonts take up?
What typefaces are printing service bureaus most likely to
have for their typesetters after Times Roman and Helvetica?
What font do people recommend using as a more stylish
alternative to Helvetica?
Are the fonts available to character mode DOS programs like
WordPerfect 5.1 or limited to usage by Windows programs?
Thanks for any and all replies.
