Hi, In the article 'Living without System 7.0' published on MacUser (June, 1991), I learnt there is an init called TrueType INIT (Apple, free), which can be used to get TrueType fonts in a Mac runing System 6.07. Does anybody know where I can get it? (I tried ftp.apple and sumex without hope). I tested System 7.0 and really like it. However, I will keep use 6.07 for a while ...... (-: Thanks in advance. xing

However, I will keep use 6.07 for a Try downloading a file in 'dts/mac/sys.soft/truetype' called something like stylewriter-install. If it isn't there, be sure to post a message so not too many people waste their time. (Oh, yeah, it's on ftp.apple.com) Matthew Feulner

I got the TrueType INIT from ftp.apple.com in the directory "/dts/mac/sys.soft/truetype", which contains the following files mac-printing-tools.hqx personal-lw-ls-install.hqx stylewriter-install.hqx truetype-fonts-1-0.hqx The TrueType INIT is hidden in "personal-lw-ls-install.hqx" and "stylewriter-install.hqx". I installed the INIT and the "truetype-fonts-1-0" in a MacPlus with 2.5 Mb RAM running 6.07. It works great. Xing
