My wife and I have used Express Publisher only.  We have found it to
be pretty good, but a little slow on a 386SX-16.  Most of the time it
works pretty well, however.

It *will* import TIF and PCX (and a few others, I think).  The fonts
are AGFA Compugraphic typefaces, and I believe that you essentially have
to order them from PowerUp.  If Microsoft Publisher can use TrueType fonts,
then it would be easier (and probably cheaper) to go that way if you are
looking for lots of fonts.
