Hello,

    I finally got myself a LaserWriter NTX, and would like to know how you get
rid of all the multiple font style names from the font menu without losing
their functionality. For example, to display the Italic Helvetica font on
screen, I have to select the "I Helvetica" font. I'd rather select the plain
Helvetica font, then select the Italic style from the menu. That way, my
font menu wouldn't be cluttered with "I Helvetica", "B Helvetica" etc.

    I remember seeing a discussion of this in the past, but since I didn't
have a LaserWriter back then, I didn't save the articles.

    Also, where can I get additional bitmap versions of PostScript fonts that
come with the LaserWriter. A friend of mine forwarded to me bold and italic
bitmaps for the Avant Garde and Helvetica fonts, and I find them much nicer
to work with than the system-generated fonts.

    Thanks,
    ---- Brian
