I was initially disappointed with the installation procedure for these fonts
as well. However, Suitcase takes care of it now: just invoke Suitcase once
running Textures and open the screen fonts. This seems to make the fonts
only visible when running TeXtures, and is automatic after opening the
screen font file the first time. If you need the fonts only for certain
other specific application do the same thing there. This method means that
you don't have to see the million and one (whoops, 40:-) font names in the
menu every time. I am generally happy with the new release and have
retired my old CM font bitmaps (8+ Mbytes compressed using the
Font & Sound Valet which comes with Suitcase).
Now that we have a satisfactory CM font set in PostScript, has anyone
tried doing page rotations so that landscape format tables can be included
in the main body of the document? This should be possible through Postscript
alone, or am I missing something? (Assuming a default portrait page format.)
