Read them as such!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh rats!! Just when I thought I caught John Townsend announcing a new GDOS, he manages to retract it!! Heck, a new outline based GDOS would be fanastic!! Actually, even the Mac doesn't use outline fonts for their screen fonts. The only outline fonts on a Mac are the ones used by PostScript programs. and they only print on PostScript laser printers. So, Atari's bitmapped fonts are much more flexible the those on the Mac. But, a new outline font based GDOS would be even better!!
