[comp.sys.mac.system] theTypeBook

durrell@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu (Bryant Durrell) (05/19/91)

Does anyone out there have any insight into possible reasons why 
theTypeBook might not work well with TrueType?  It seems in general
to be very bad at calculating widths.

More to the point, is this problem one that other apps are likely
to have as well?

Ob.system:  Mac SE/30, 5/105 megs, ATM.

What version? 2.0.5 (the current release that I know of) has been improved
for TT and 7.0.
