NOTE: I have no Macintosh! I use the Mac II's here at school to upload the font to a VAX, and then ftp from the VAX to a campus Cube. Then I dump the font onto an Optical, and take it home. The only problem is the lack of screen fonts. Even so, the fonts look pretty decent. How does Adobe feel about this practice? -- MikeC _________________________________________________________ Michael D. Callaghan, MDC Designs, University of Maryland mikec@wam.umd.edu
