I've mentioned the good results possible with Publishing Partner and the
Apple LaserWriter.  SoftLogik is coming up with some support for this now.
They have three series of disks out now:
1) Clip art, DEGAS-compatible I believe.
2) PostScript fonts.  All of the LaserWriter Plus fonts, and I think a couple
   of bitmap fonts (yuk).  They all have printer fonts so they can be used on
   HP LaserJet and dot matrix printers too.  Times-Roman and Symbol are avail-
   able, unfortunately on different disks (c$30 each).  The Times-Roman used
   on the LaserJet is good but definitely inferior to the LaserWriter Times-
   Roman or the HP Times-Roman cartridge.  I'm not sure if it is good enough
   for camera-ready applications.  Also, I haven't seen the Symbol font; if
   the simple keyboard mapping is used, you'll have Greek but will be missing
   some important math symbols (like multipart parens and integrals)...
3) Non-PostScript fonts, no good for LaserWriters but okay for everything
   else.  Includes some neat script and calligraphic fonts for invitations
   and notices.  About $25 each.
The first two series are marketed as "The Font Factory" disks; the last is on
the SoftLogik label.  It looks to me like you will want a LaserWriter for the
highest quality output.  Or it might be possible to jury-rig things to use the
HP cartidge fonts for quality text output...I may give that a try if "The Boss"
isn't happy with the current LaserJet driver.
The desktop publishing saga continues...
