In article <3524@tekig4.TEK.COM> briand@tekig4.TEK.COM (Brian Diehm) writes: <>I would like to get the laserwriter screen fonts (the font files with the <>italic and bold other variations) for times, symbol, and helvetica. <>Unfortunately I don't have a subscription to CompuServe, but surely some <>folks out there on the internet have snarfed them from CompuServe, and my <>Expressionist manual says that they can be freely distributed among <>individuals. Could I ftp them from somebody? What are the advantages of these screen fonts? Is there any way to improve the readability of Times 10 point plain? Is there any difference in the print quality of bold/italic etc.? <It takes a lot of work to translate these into NFNTs, apparently because when <Adobe did the originals they weren't carefully done and some of the FOND info <is in slightly out-of-date form. <-Brian Diehm (SDA - Standard Disclaimers Apply) Did you spend hours using something like Suitcase II or because you used some other method? Do you need programming skills (or other knowledge the average user doesn't have)? Shirley Kehr
