But they *are* keeping bitmap fonts around too, right? I'd hate to see what an outline generated 9 point font would look like. Still, I definitely think this is the way to go for large fonts, and it should be helpful for those who have the Imagewriter LQ or the Laserwriter SC. Not to mention that the screen images of headline type text will look nice. Hopefully, outline fonts means text at arbitrary rotation.... -Sho
