   No, and GoScript will not use them.  In fact, the PPM ratings _and_
number of built-in fonts are both pretty useless if you'll be using GoScript
for everything, since the limiting factor as far as time goes is the
processing power of your CPU.  Anything less than a 25 MHz 386+387 with
at least 1M of EMS won't even come close to generating 4 pages of output
in a minute.

   I'd advise you to think about what you'll be using it for other than
for GoScript output, as I doubt you'll use that all the time.
