I have some Adobe fonts on diskette bought for Macintosh. I would
like to have them available for IBM-PC for downloading to the printer.
Can I get the same files from Adobe for PC at no extra (or not much) charge?
Can I convert the Mac files to PC for use by, say, Ventura? (I'm not
interested in the screen fonts, just the downloadables).

Another little problem. I cannot get single opening and closing quotes from
a NTX or a SilentWriter using MS-DOS MSWord V5.0 although I *can* get them
on the old LaserWriter Plus. Microsoft has given up on offering a solution
(they even sent me a new *flaky* driver that works even worse). Does anybody
know why this may be so. What is different between NTX and Plus that caused the
damnedly useful single quotes to be placed somewhere else (Ventura has no such
problem and neither does MSWord on the Mac. 

Thanks very much for any suggestions,
