uh... wait a sec...

FontSizer *does* work with Adobe fonts.  It works with *any* PostScript font.
The only caveats are:

1) you can only make fonts in 24-96 point sizes.
2) the big font files are uncharacteristically large (disk-space wise).
3) you need a PostScript printer to do the actual font imaging.

ATM is not yet a released product, although when it is released (I've seen it,
BTW) it should solve font problems, world hunger, and the heartbreak of
psoriasis.

BTWagain, the standard LW+ set of fonts are available in triple and
quadruple sizes for use w/ the ImageWriter LQ and the LaserWriter SC.  Call
your Apple dealer.
