Got TrueType off apple.com last night and I've done some playing around with it. The only problem or incompatibility I've noticed so far is when using the Courier font in PageMaker 4.0; as a test, I typed in a large, centered text block (large enough so that 5-6 lines pretty much filled a sideways letter-size page), and the spacing was incorrect; the letters were too close together (touching, in fact). This didn't happen with smaller point sizes. Perhaps someone else could perform this simple test and see if they observe the same thing. (BTW, yes I was careful to remove all other traces of Courier, screen and laser, from my system.) System 6.0.5, TrueType 1.0, ATM 1.2. Will the rest of the standard Apple laser fonts (Palatino, Helvetica Narrow, and so forth) be available at no charge from Apple? I don't have money to spend on fonts, so TrueType won't be much use for me if nothing is provided beyond Courier, Times, Helvetica, and Symbol. -- ---- Seth Tisue USMail: c/o Plaster Cramp Press ---- (tisu@midway.uchicago.edu) P.O.
