Thats what I like about standards. So many to choose from. So what is your
font library ? Bitmaps ? Or are they outlines ? If the former, how
much space does one face take up on a disk, assuming you want a full
range of sizes from 6 to 800 (yes I use all those sizes)
I already use QMS printer, so my real intrest is how different companies
and handling font technology.
So far it looks like adobe wins hands down and everyone else is scrambling.
