Carl, I have here a book from URW showing all the fonts on the CD.  The
whole CD looks very good to me.  I was at URW week before last for the
DIDOT Typographic Seminar and they gave us all a copy of that book,
which is also called TypeWorks.  It is a couple of inches thick and is
probably available from URW in this country.

As far as the quality of the fonts goes, there are many of the ITC
fonts in the set since that work goes on at URW there in Hamburg.  Plus,
many of the font developers of the world use the URW system.  Many of 
the fonts in the book/CD are the industry standard ones.  

For each font there are the following versions: Outline, Inline, Relief,
Drop Shadow, and Round.

By the way, there are to be some other things on the CD with the fonts
as well, including a URW utility called Kernus which is very interesting.

I think the Mac CD is available now and the PC version is coming any
day now.  

Hope this helps.
