1. What is the latest version of !FontEd, the Font Editor from
   Acorn? What is the status of this application? (PD, Shareware,
   Freeware, Beware, ...)
   If it's PD can someone please mail me a version higher than
   0.18 (10 May 89) (if such a version exists :-))...

2. How can I get the RO3.10 PS printer driver configured so, that the
   Adobe.Special encoding vector is used for a symbolic font? I have
   already tried to use !FontPrint, but despite my best efforts, I can't
   get a symbolic encoding vector in my PostScript output. Just the
   Acorn_Latin1Encoding...

3. If a font does not appear in the list !FontPrint displays, it will be
   downloaded to the printer. But why are the downloaded fonts so black?
   I mean, the letters just become bold or something. This makes it
   impossible to mix mapped and downloaded fonts, as the output really is
   like a sharp stick in the eye...
