I have a question.  I've heard that Adobe Type Manager (ATM) only comes
with outline versions of Times, Helvetica, Courier, and Symbol.  What
about Palatino, Bookman, Century Schoolbook, Avant Garde, Zapf
Chancery, and Zapf Dingbats?  If I'm buying ATM just to get a better
screen preview for something I'm going to print on a LaserWriter Plus
it seems kind of excessive to force me to buy a font that's already
built into the printer.

I can see Adobe's problem.  They don't want to give their fonts
away free to all those people who will be using ATM with their
ImageWriters.  How about a program which pulls a font out of
the LaserWriter's ROMs to create a font file?  (Is that possible?)
