->Zsoft's new SoftType looks really good.  It's made for Win3.0 and can
->add or delete fonts at any time (unlike Bitstream).  The output on

->and only scalable in Postscript.

->The package lists for $169 (?), but I am told it retails for less.
->They don't have a demo disk but the literature shows it well.

  Soft Warehouse carries it for $119.

  BUT, as I mentioned before, AMI PRO/AMI users will currently be
  disapointed because a bug in SoftType creates fonts that can't be
  justified.
