I also have Publish It.  I also wanted to add fonts, but I didn't due
to the cost.  You get Bitstream fonts for about $99 mail order, but that's
still a lot of money.

Plus, I think you need some additional s/w from Bitstream just to install
the fonts -- but I'm not sure about this.

Plus, you have to purchase the Gem Desktop environment for another $45
to get the fonts converted to something Publish It can use.

The bottom line is that Publish It is a great package.  I paid $105 mail
order.  But it does have some limitations.  If you want a lot of fun
fonts, you have to pay.

P.S. I believe there is a new version of Publish It coming out this
     summer.  It purports to be able to import Bitstream fonts without
     purchasing the Gem Desktop.  On the other hand, I'm sure they'll
     raise the price of the product, so the upgrade cost may not make
     it worthwhile for me.  That would be too bad, because I am really
     pleased with the product.
