Supposedly, PC Connection is already advertising it. What I'm more interested in is how it works. On the Mac, there's a fairly orderly way to patch traps. How does ATM for Windows patch the font bitmap retreiver in GDI, thus turning it into a real font rasterizer ? Did Microsoft provide some trap doors for Adobe ? Or is it implemented in a fairly gross way, by reimplementing TextOut, DrawText, etc. ? Robert P. Krajewski Internet: rpk@ai.mit.edu ; Lotus: robert_krajewski.lotus@crd.dnet.lotus.com
