The "original" outline fonts for ProPage & PageSetterII and a different type of file for ProDraw, which you have to make with the CreateFont program. (You can also make postscript fonts, and "amiga" fonts). Making these fonts with CreateFont V1.0 is slow and tedius. The program runs as a workbench/intuition program, and you have to enter the new font name for each and every font you make. This is painful, when you want to make a complete set for ProDraw, or a complete set of postscript fonts for post1.1, and even worse for "amiga fonts", where you just want to make different sizes of the same font, and it won't put them in the same font directory. I hope they have improved CreateFont on the new font disks. I may not buy them, if they haven't. -Ed Berger eb15@andrew.cmu.edu
