Reply to:RE>RE: TrueType font support
When I was working for Apple, we were told the legal situation around
Truetype and developers was that anyone could develop fonts free of
charge and that the format was public compsumption. However, the
engine to render the fonts is not public and I don't know if it would
be possible to reverse engineer it without a lot of time and effort
(but it was done with Postscript fonts). Since Apple has the source,
wrote the source, and has the best knowlede of it, they would know
whther or not it would be practical to implement on the GS, and I'm
sure that the GS/OS team could get access to it to make that
assumption.
There really isn't any anti-Apple II gestapo police. Only
brain-damaged field office types in sales who underestimate the
machine's worth. take it from someone who was there...

Rumour has it that these are the types likely to take the brunt of the 10% layoff. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.
