The first one I bought was inex- pressibly vile (unfortunately, I forget the company's name) and I returned it. I bought an Everex "J" cartridge, which is still quite inferior in font quality, but is tolerable for what I use it for. As far as I can tell, all of the third-party font cartridges are far inferior to HP's cartridges or BitStream's downloadable fonts. -- Robert -- Robert Plamondon robert@weitek.COM "No Toon can resist the old 'Shave and a Hair-Cut'"
