Sure, System 7 might support the bitmapped screen fonts, but who cares about
those??? The concern is that the system 7 wont support Adobe Type 1 Postscript fonts that will display nicely on the screen and print nicely on a Quickdraw
printer. Some people have quite an investment in those expensive adobe fonts.
Now, according to what Adobe is saying, they will have an ATM that works with
System 7, but hey, if Apple puts Adobe type 1 support in system 7, we all wont
need to go out any bye ATM7 (or the equivalent upgrade)
