Excellence! outputs postscript code with real postscript fonts if you select one of its postscript fonts. If you select a non-postscript fonts (that is one for which excellence doesn't have a .metric file) it will naturally output bitmaps since that's the best that can be done in that case. You can't seriously expect it to use a postscript font for Topaz, can you? ---- Robin Rosenberg
