I received an ad from them in the mail - they now have PostScript versions of the TeX fonts. I didn't take up the offer though - a bit out of my price range: $345 (or $195 educational). In my opinion, they should be bundling the fonts with the program, rather than charging this huge price for them. Having good scalable versions of the Computer Modern fonts should vastly increase the usefulness of this product (especially the quality of the previewer - not particularly readable with bitmapped fonts). -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
