Well, I'm gona cry foul over that one. The "rumor" has been released by
Commodore, GoldDisk _and_ Agfa. The press releases were along the lines
that Agfa Compufont technology has been licensed to C= through GoldDisk
but will not appear in time for the OS2.0 release, but will appear in
hopefully the next interim release after that. Someone mentioned a delay
of about 5 months. This is a highly significant claim, and if it is not
true, we had better get a C= debriefing. I feel it will affect a lot of
sales.
