Apple does distribute the TruType versions Bookman, Palatino, Avant Garde, etc. as a package for StyleWriter users, for some nominal fee. Apple also sells a True Type Font Collection that has (I think) about 44 very high quality styles in about 15 or so families. A couple of them are duplicates of the Bookman, etc. package mentioned above. Most are unique and useful, although it has a couple too many script/cursive styles for my taste. Not as good a bargain as the KeyFonts package, but a good addition. Jack Kobzeff (jack@????.jpl.nasa.gov) Mail address is changing.
