 Free? Very few "Royal" fonts are going to be free. Ever since Apple's
announcement of System 7, I've gotten the impression that people think
fonts will be absolutely free. 
  What I really hate is the idea of having to buy Royal Palatino, Royal
Avant Garde, Royal Baskerville, five varieties of "Royal"
Garamond. I already own these in Adobe PostScript. For people in the
Lino service bureau business, Royal fonts will be a nightmare, and
will offer no apparent improvements in quality (I suspect less quality)
or speed or PRICE. Apple Computer has stated they will only provide a
few fonts to be released with System 7. The rest will come from foundries
like Bitstream or typesetting machine manufacturers such as Linotype
and Varityper. They ain't gonna let 'em go cheap!
