Indeed it is :-}

Tom Rokicki, the author of NeXT-TeX, has told me that NeXT-TeX 3.0 is 
fully NFSS "compliant" which means that if you want to add NFSS there 
should be nothing in NeXT-TeX 3.0 to break it and all shoudl run well.
However:  he does not "support" NFSS in the sense that it does not come
with NT3.0.  His reason for this is that since NFSS is still changing
all the time he did not feel it made sense to ship with a version that might
soon be out of date (and given what I've seen about the changes in NFSS 
on comp.text.tex I think this is a very reasonable approach).   

If you want to add NFSS to your NEXT-TeX see the TeX FAQ for information.
If you run into trouble then post here and somebody should be able to help
(Erik Sowa comes to mind --- sorry Erik :-)

Hope this is Helpful --- tom
