I've been reading about TrueType both in this group and in the mags, but how do you get it? I called my dealer and he says basically the only way to get it under 6.0.7 is buy a StyleWriter. But I've been reading articles from people that claim to be using TT with their DeskWriters. Is is that these persons are rich enough to afford both types of printers? We poorer folks simply have to wait for 7.0? Kim "Never let work interfere with your reasons for working." Kim Helliwell

When prompted to give your user name, type 'anonymous' (without the quotes, of course :). You can give any password you want. Then type 'cd pub/dts/sw.license' and 'dir' to see all of the goodies before you. The TrueType font is hiding in stylewriter-install.hqx and also in personal-lw-ls-install.hqx (the former is smaller). The TrueType fonts are in truetype-fonts-1-0.hqx (surprise, surprise! :-). Type 'get' and the file name to get any and all of these, and then download them from your host machine to your Mac. Once they are on your Mac, de-binhex 'em with Stuffit and then unstuff them with Stuffit. Voila! The only trouble that you might run into is that to install the truetype fonts into your system, you need Font/DA Mover 4.1 which is *not* available at apple.com for some stupid reason. You will have to get this from your local software dealer. If, however, you use MasterJuggler or Suitcase II, you can just load the fonts in the regular way.

Font/DA Mover is included in the TrueType font file on apple.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Price | Internet: price@uclapp.physics.ucla.edu 5-145 Knudsen Hall | BITNET: price@uclaph UCLA Dept. of Physics | SPAN: uclapp::price Los Angeles, CA 90024-1547 | YellNet: 213-825-2259 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where there is no solution, there is no problem.

Actually, Font/DA Mover 4.1 *is* on apple.com in the file truetype-fonts-1-0.hqx. -- Dave -- David Zinkin (drz@po.cwru.edu) * I hear, and I forget.
