ProWrite comes with several Postscript fonts & the interesting thing is that they look pretty cruddy on a non-Postscript printer but turn out great with ProScript. Conversely, the Commodore-supplied Postscript fonts look great in graphic printers, but terrible in Postscript using the ProWrite-supplied metric. Luckily the font sizes supplied by ProWrite are different than those supplied by Commodore so they can coexist in the same font directory. ==================================================================== Kent Polk - Southwest Research Institute - kent@swrinde.nde.swri.edu Motto : "Anything worth doing is worth overdoing" ====================================================================
