	I've downloaded them and looked at em, and they do appear to be
Adobe issue.  I believe Garamond is a very specific font by Adobe, and all
of them seem to be of REALLY high (read Commercial) quality.  I downloaded
the earlier known PD/Shareware fonts, and none of them look as good as
these.  Also, most PD/Shareware fonts aren't designed as something you would
write a book in, while these things are (for the most part), text you would
use for good looking titles or printing.  Furthermore, they are whole font
families, in many cases including bold and italic.  Most PD/Shareware fonts
seem to be just one typeface.  I'm quite suspicios.  

	Glen, are you out there?  Could someone please definatly tell us the
status of these fonts?

	On a related topic, can you buy individual font families, and if so,
how much are they?  (If Brush Script is Adobe issue, I'd like a ligit copy
of it, and I am also intersted in getting the Sonata font.  The rest of the
fonts I could cair less about.  I'm a Times/Courier kinda guy.)

It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, .signifying nothing.
