In regaurdes to the above, I can safely say that yes there are more
fonts available for Publishing Partner many have been placed in the public
domain, and there are quite a few put out by The Font Factory. I have about
one single sided disk full of the various fonts, with a little more room
left for the saved doc file. I am however using an extended formatter.
As far as the available fonts for the Laserprinter, I will assume
that you are talking about the Apple Lasor Writer. You will have to check out
just how many fonts are supported with the Lasor Writer plus. I do know that
the Lasor Writer ( not the plus ) will use two fonts, which are Times and
Helvetica, as our club has access to a Apple Lasor Writer, and our entire
newsletter is done through Publishing Partner. Still in all, even with only
the two fonts, the Newsletter is excellent < Not that i'm partial :-) >
As soon as the Lasor Writer is upgraded to a Plus, we will be able
to use more fonts. I do not know what extra fonts will be available though.
Helvetica comes with Publishing Partner, and Times (Times_Roman) is
in the public domain.
