Say huh?  InterActive applies the "CalligraFont" name to many pkgs
of fonts which they produce. Thereare Asha Develder's
CalligraFonts. There are Lion Kuntz' CalligraFonts.  There are
Andre Page's CalligraFonts. There are Marlin Greene's
CalligraFonts. There are John Mallette's CalligraFonts.  NONE of
these fonts are specific to the HP Paintjet. ALL of these fonts
will work with ANY Amiga software which understands the standard
WorkBench fonts (diamond, ruby, etc.).  SOME of these
"CalligraFonts" pkgs contain ColorFonts (tm) which look great when
output to a Paintjet but can also be output to MANY other mfrs'
models of color printers like my own lowly Epson JX-80, or an
Okimate 20, or any number of models by Tek, Xerox, Diablo, Star,
etc. etc. blah blah. 

Don't confuse the fact that some of these fonts are ColorFonts with
the fact that they CAN be dumped to a Paintjet.. because they can
also be dumped to any other color printer that can be driven by an
Amiga. 

BTW: InterActive is at 2521 S. Vista Way #254, Carlsbad CA 92008,
619-434-5327. I have NO involvement, financial or otherwise, with
InterActive.  I reviewed Calligrapher for a magazine once and IA
quotes me in their advertising but that's it. :)
