Font Library was a StyleWare product, and the package now lies in Beagle's
hands.

Well, I tend to agree.  One thing you might try when using fonts, when you
are printing in better text, it really helps if you have the same font in
couble the size; i. e., if the doc is in Geneva-12, the output looks better
if you also have Geneva-24.  The Print Manager uses the doubled font to take
advantage of the better resolution of the ImageWriter (or Epson).  The
screen resolution is pretty lousy, all told.
