Carl Ortholieb: Thanks for your submission. When I called your company to order Optima for Unix I was surprised that the answer was it wasn't available. I'm not complaining about the way I was handled by Adobe's representative. He was friendly and sympathetic and seemed a little disappointed himself about the current state of affairs. This is probably not your responsibility, but a number of people told me that the following strategy works just dandy: 1. Order the Dos format of the fonts. 2. Run a "simple" program to convert the pfb files for Unix. I received two copies of the pfb conversion utility. I'm planning to test one of these out (thankyou Dick Dunn) today. Anyway, confidence is high that this will work and maybe in the short run, the above strategy could be recommended to other people in my situation. Perhaps Dick's utility could even be placed on the Adobe file server? Mike Smith SMITHM@QUCDN.BITNET Queen's University Michael.D.Smith@QueensU.CA Computing and Communications Services (613) 545-2024
