Why is it that some of the bitmap representations of Post Script fonts on PPage 1.3 "Fonts & utilities disk" don't work in other programs? They appear extremely condensed on the screen, so that they are impossible to use. I have noticed that e.g. Times 24 (but not the other sizes) and all sizes of Symbol font are distorted this way (I have tested them in ProWrite, Excellence, Notepad, DPaint III etc.). Is there a good reason for this? I thought that all bitmap fonts are basically similar and can be used in all programs... Why aren't all of the PPage fonts behaving similarly? On the other hand, all of the bitmap representations of Adobe fonts on WB 1.3 Extras -disk work fine with PPage (also Times 24!)! If there is an easy fix for this bug, I would be most interested to hear it...:-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reijo Ronkko University of Helsinki, Dept. of General Microbiology, Mannerheimintie 172, 00300 Helsinki, FINLAND Fax +358-0-4735426 Ronkko@cc.helsinki.fi ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
