Royal will be much easier to use. It will be merely dropping the fonts in the system folder and go. There wont be this hassel that ATM currently has of installing bit map fonts, choosing BI Helvetica Italic font, or whatever and running atm as an init... Oh, i guess some of the problems with atm are fixed by an adobe program, but yet there is another investment. I'm not dropping Postscript either. It still is the top system. But Royal seems to make more sense... more sense for Apple, and for the users. ============================================================================== == Chris Silverberg, WPI Box 719 ========= BBS Sysop: Main Street U.S.A. ===== == USENET: macman@wpi.wpi.edu ============ 2400 baud - (508) 832-7725 ======== == BITNET: macman@wpi.bitnet ============= Fido: 322/575 - Second Sight BBS == == GEnie: C.Silverberg ================== America Online: Silverberg ========
