I am hesitant to write a document using anything other than Adobe's
set of ~ 33 basic fonts.  This is because, if I use some sort of
exotic font, there's no guarantee I'll be able to use it in a new
environment that I might move to.

Am I worrying too much?  Or is this a valid concern?  I don't want to
shell out $$$ every time I change printers, in order to get a new copy
of the printer-resident font.  If my installation has a rare font on
its printers, and I have the workstation bitmaps, then there's no a
priori reason to buy a downloadable version, and besides, downloading
is *slow*.

Now if adobe would offer a "plus plus" package of perhaps ~ 65 fonts,
I would feel safer in using these exotic fonts.  In the near future, a
single ROM should be able to hold at least 65 fonts, including hints.
