#1 week ago, Adobe posted about the Adobe Illustrator 3.0.1 release.

#So, today I get the package from Adobe with AI 3.0.1, AND the
#3 free font families. 
#For no charge. After 1 week of telling them that I wanted it.
#All I can say is, WOW! Great, amazing job, Adobe-people.

Similar to my feelings.  In fact, all the more amazing: these fonts can be
used with other applications, like WriteNow.

However, a QUESTION: it seems that when I installed the fonts in
/NextLibrary/Fonts (using whatever-it-is-called--FontMaker? I am not
now at my NeXT), some OTHER fonts which were in that directory that
I never saw in the Font Panel before, now also appeared there and were
usable!  These were fonts that came with WordPerfect, and include
interesting things like modern Greek, Cyrillic, Kana(s), numerous
Math symbols not found in Symbol, and LineDrawing characters.

I'm very happy about this development as well, but how did it happen?
Did the FontMaker app tell the Font Panel to install everything it
finds in NextLibrary/Fonts?
