I'll bet a dollar, even money, that CBM is planning to use the AGFA
Compugraphic fonts.  I just got a letter from Gold Disk, offering to
upgrade Pro Page to 1.3, that talks about outline font support.  They
had the "beta" WB1.3 drivers long before the official upgrade came out.
Guess which outline fonts Gold Disk is using?

Just a hunch.
