Call 800-522-3668 for a catalog, but don't buy direct from Bitstream. PC Connection was selling the Font Collections (three families, four weights each) for $129 as of about a month ago (800-243-8088). IMHO, the Reports&Proposals collection is the nicest--Activa (=Trump Mediaeval), Bitstream Amerigo (sort of like Albertus), and Zapf Humanist (=Optima). You need to get the MS Word installer kit--it should be free or minimal cost from Microsoft. --Kathy By the way, the PC Connection ad says $159, but they gave me a $30 refun on my order... some sort of promotion, maybe? Ask them when you call. ========================================================================== | Kathy Strong | "Welcome to FUBAR Corp., where there's | | (Clouds moving slowly) | never enough time to do a job right, | | clouds@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | but always enough time to do it over." | ==========================================================================
