The number of times I've had Avant Garde on my machine at home, then taken a word document into the office to print out on the LaserWriter, and found that the font ID for AG on my machine is different than that on the office machine..... Isn't the use of font names instead of font numbers the recommended way to handle fonts now? It's a terribly confusing thing to a user to have their document which was beautifully laid out, suddenly switch into a mess of misaligned characters and blocky fonts when they take it to a different machine... Do the other word processors currently out there handle this any better? (I'm thinking of Nisus in particular, which is likely to get my vote if Word 5.0 doesn't shape up in a big way). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evan Torrie.
