Has anyone found a way to use these fonts with MS-WORD? >-Alex If the PD fonts include documentation that shows the escape sequences to use to access the fonts you should be able to use MAKEPRD (comes with Word) to create a driver. I have never tried it with downloadable fonts, but creating a driver for cartridge fonts was fairly easy. I used the Word utility to "unassemble" an existing driver, edit it for the new cartridge, and "reassemble" it as a PRD file. The drivers are structured like a lookup table, where you specify the font name to appear in Word and the corresponding escape sequence to call up the font. Bruce Carlson
