[comp.windows.ms] Commercial Fonts for Windows

jaz@icd.ab.com (Jack A. Zucker) (08/10/90)

I just ordered the Ventura Publisher program that runs under MS Windows.
I haven't gotten it yet but their technical support people tell me that
on screen support font support is limited. I have a Postscript printer 
and would like to be able to see the fonts on screen as they would print.
Unfortunately, Adobe screen fonts for windows seem to start at $125.00 per
font and go up from there. Aside from the fact that I've already got
Postscript fonts in my printer and don't like paying for them twice, the
price for buying all the screen fonts would exceed the price of the printer.

What I'd like to get is a list of commercial or PD screen fonts for windows.
If you email me, I will summarize and post to the net.

Some utility to convert the screen fonts, which includes a large number of
fonts from Adone, Bitstream and numerous others, in the X distribution
from MIT to Windows screen fonts would be very, very handy...
