Post 1.0 is ok! The main difference between Post 1.0 and Post 1.1 is,
that the interpreter is now located in a post.library you have to put
into your libs: directory. Personally I don't like this... What should
we do if every program had it's own library...

Fonts can be found on BBS's (as posted earlier). There are plenty of
PD fonts around.

You can also transfer type 3 fonts (the ones in plain postscript
code) from other computers esp. M*cs. Compugraphic and Bitstream
fonts are in the popular Fontographer format and are well suited for
use with Post.
