I just got my StylerWriter, but was disappointed to see that only the four basic LaserWriter fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier & Symbol) are supplied in TrueType form. Does System 7.0 provide the other LaserWriter+ fonts in TrueType? Thanks, Dan

No. Anyone know the legality of taking FontMonger to the ATM PlusPack? -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu .sig under construction, like the rest of this campus.

For personal use, should be no problem, assuming you own the Plus Pack. Using it to get access to a font you don't own, or distributing the conversions would be not-good. -- Chuq Von Rospach >=< chuq@apple.com >=< GEnie:CHUQ or MAC.BIGOT >=< ALink:CHUQ SFWA Nebula Awards Reports Editor =+= Editor, OtherRealms Book Reviewer, Amazing Stories ---@--- #include <standard/disclaimer.h> Recommended: ORION IN THE DYING TIME Ben Bova (Tor, Aug, ***-); SACRED VISIONS Greeley&Cassutt (Tor, Aug, ****+); MEN AT WORK George Will (****); XENOCIDE Orson Scott Card (August, ****)

Is this implying that Apple will "soon" be releasing TT versions of all of the traditional "LaserWriter Plus" fonts? It does make sense...especially for people like me who have a StyleWriter at home and a LaserWriter at work. I want nice Palatino output from my StyleWriter!!! -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Brad Hedstrom, Grad Student Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Victoria Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Internet: hedstrom@sirius.UVic.CA (a.k.a.

Well, I'm not sure about the LaserWriter Plus fonts, but I was pleased to notice that 7.0 final *does* include TrueType versions of Chicago, Monaco, Geneva, and New York. I haven't played with them much, but at first glance they look like very good jobs. -- Amanda Walker amanda@visix.com Visix Software Inc. ...!uunet!visix!amanda -- "Let's split up--we can do more damage that way!" --Ghostbusters
