It's interesting that CC does not supply version 2.44 with any of its software.
Even Artworks is supplied with version 2.42 - I doubt if this is for technical
reasons, more likely that they would have to pay Acorn more to distribute
version 2.44.

Also, can anyone comment on stories that there are RISC OS 3.10 ROM sets
in circulation which contain different versions of the FontManager? I
have had great trouble printing with my LaserDirect using the built-in
fontmanager (not FastText), and have heard that Acorn brought out a
newer fontmanager which fixes this problem without telling anybody.
