[comp.windows.ms] Tips to font managers wanted

rds95@leah.Albany.Edu (Robert Seals) (06/06/90)

Hi ho,
Has anyone experience with the various font managers (and FONTS)
that are available for Win 3? I saw several in last week's PC Week,
but I threw it away. Oh well.

Oh, how about a real cheap 3d Cad program?

I just got back from Comdex/Atlanta.  

Zsoft's new SoftType looks really good.  It's made for Win3.0 and can
add or delete fonts at any time (unlike Bitstream).  The output on
a LaserJet III was spectacular.  Unfortunately, the fonts are bitmaps
and only scalable in Postscript.

The package lists for $169 (?), but I am told it retails for less.
They don't have a demo disk but the literature shows it well.

  Soft Warehouse carries it for $119.

  BUT, as I mentioned before, AMI PRO/AMI users will currently be
  disapointed because a bug in SoftType creates fonts that can't be
  justified.
