I am starting to get confused (not for the first time but certainly
this is the most vocal time).  Let's say I use Lotus Manuscript to
write a book.  I then get a publishing house to agree to publish this
work.  What happens if there is a reason for using a very specific font
for very specific things in the book.  A font that the publishing house
does not have and can't (won't, etc) buy because this is the only time
they would ever use it.  Does all this mean that I can't send a PS fiel
to the publisher for printing by them because it would have the font
included as part of the PS file that I generated through Lotus
Manuscript??
