Are Adobe's screen fonts freely distributed?  I would have expected it
to be tougher to get them than CompuServe or FTP.

I don't have access to CompuServe or FTP (boy, talk about the dark
ages), but the screen font at the dealer's was considerably larger than
mine and it matched the laser output.  So it sounds like the dealer has
Adobe's screen font.  I'll be back there on Saturday to do some more
printing.  Can I legally get copies of the Adobe screen fonts while I'm
there?
