>Yes it locks you to their fonts but they are of the highest quality available. Actually, it locks you into Type 1 fonts (encrypted, Adobe proprietary). Rumors abound that Adobe will extend that to Type 3 (Fontographer, unencrypted) fonts later, too. Anyone with a Type 1 font (Abode licensee or people like Bitstream who have cracked the encryption) will work with it too, at least in theory. And they're right. No offense to Century or any of the other companies, but I've yet to see a non-ornamental font from someone other than Adobe that I'd want to use for body face or for my headlines. Special effect faces, definitely. But for faces where readability counts, I stick with Adobe. (ITC Garamond is what gets used for OtherRealms. It's dense and readable -- you lose a lot of the flavor at 300dpi at 9.5 points, but it's still as dense as Times Roman 9pt. and *much* more readable). -- Chuq Von Rospach <+> Editor,OtherRealms <+> Member SFWA/ASFA chuq@apple.com <+> CI$: 73317,635 <+> [This is myself speaking.
