We will also have a "Plus Pack" of fonts for $199 that include the rest
of the Plus faces. Why do we charge for it?
	1) Not all PostScript printers used by Mac people have those faces.
	   This starts with the original LaserWriter, and goes to many of
	   our newer OEMs. We also sell the faces as type packages 1-5 for
	   these other users (normally ~$985 for the five).
	2) You bought the original faces from your OEM (I know they licensed
	   them from Adobe), but...
	3) Several fixes have been incorporated into the outlines - you won't
	   have these in the ROM versions. Also, the LaserWriter Plus and
	   later Apple printers had missing characters in some of the ISO-
	   latins because of lack of ROM space - the outlines we sell don't
	   have those limitations.

I wish we could offer them for a give away price, but they are a product we
still sell. Giving them away wouldn't be good for business. Hope that makes
the explanation clearer.
