I was wondering what's required to be able to use the NFNT resources
for fonts like Palatino Italic, etc.  I have a 512KE with two
floppies, and was wondering if it would be practical to use just two
or three of them (probably italic versions) for use on the ImageWriter.
  First, can this be done with my system?  I know in theory it can
(since I have the new ROMs).  I'm using System 4.1/Finder 6.0, and
WriteNow; I'm fairly certain WriteNow can support it (in the upgraded
version if not this one).
  Second, where can I get the fonts?  Has Adobe released the screen
versions into the public domain, so that I could get a copy froms
someone who has them?  Is there someplace cheaper than the $50 Adobe
wants (I suspect that's mostly handling charge)?
  Finally, what would I need to install them in my system?  I'm
willing to do ResEdit hacking etc. if I need to, but would prefer
something less cumbersome....
  I apologize if this has been asked and answered many times before....
