[comp.windows.ms] Laserwriter Plus screen fonts deficiencies

rpk@rice-chex.ai.mit.edu (Robert Krajewski) (09/18/90)

Why do the Times Roman and Helvetica fonts in the fonts.lzh
file from cica.indiana.edu look so raggedy ?  In particular,
check out lower-case `c' in Helvetica Bold.  I don't recall
things looking this way on the Macintosh.

Also, the set of fonts could be been closer to the real
Laserwriter Plus set:

	1. Korinna and Garamond are not standard LW+ fonts.

	2. Neither is Helvetica Black.  Even more irritating,
	sometimes Windows is using Helvetica Black where it
	ought to be using Helvetica Bold.

	3. Helvetica Narrow is missing.

Does adobe.com or some other host have the Windows screen fonts
for the Adobe Type Library ?  I would be happy to assemble the
real LW+ set.
