Bitstream fonts are fine.  It is an especially good bargain if you
get one of those $5 or $10 package deals for them when you purchase
WordPerfect or Word or some such.  A set also comes included with
your purchase of Quattro Pro from Borland.

Bitstream fonts compare well for quality with HP's downloadable
soft fonts.  The most annoying thing about Bitstream fonts concerns
font generation (this is also a strongpoint).  Bitstream allows you 
to generate any size of font you want, basically.  Whether you want
6, 8, 10 and 12 point all the way up to 128 point, I think.  The 
main drawback with this is time.  It can take several minutes to 
generate fonts on a 386 machine.  It can take up to a few hours on
an AT class machine.  For the old 4.77 Mhz 8088 machines....well,
you could run the generation program overnight ....
