Either way, it still works. Does this mean that the fonts will be down loaded as the curve equations, and a postscript program will be sent along to convert the equations into bitmaps? Or are the bitmaps going to be generated on the Mac and then downloaded to the printer/typesetter (expensive, especially on something like a 1200 dpi device)? +C -- Cory Kempf I do speak for the company (sometimes).
