I'm not interested in 500 point type on 21 inch monitors. I don't use 500 point type or 21 inch monitors (not at home, anyway). What I want to know is how well does it work with 11 point type, or 8 point type? Is the size of the cache user-controllable? What is the minimum memory I can get away with using for it? How many fonts can be stored in a cache? How long does it take to generate the fonts on a stock Mac Plus? What happens when the cache is filled? Basically, what the question comes down to is, what kind of tradeoff in terms of memory and speed do I have to make in order to use this on my Mac Plus? The demos sound like great "gee whiz!" stuff, but I want to know how it works in real world situations. For that I think I have to wait until it comes out. Ralph Brandi ralph@lzfme.att.com
