While you are mentioning PPage 1.3 and Pro Draw 2.0, both very good programs
indeed, let's not forget Pagestream 2.0, which handles all the Compugraphic
fonts that PPage handles, has a huge library of proprietary fonts (over 100)
available, and can (!) use unhinted Adobe fonts, giving the user access
to great display fonts like Am. Typewriter Bold, Cooper Black, Brush Script,
Dom Casual and many, many more. I have tried some Adobe fonts from Mac
format (xfered with Mac-To-DOS) and, while they are painfully slow displaying
to the screen on my A1000, print out just as fast as other fonts, and look
terrific. I bought PPage and Pagestream and used both extensively, and
tried PDraw 2.0. I have found the structured graphics tools in Pagestream
to be FAR easier to use than anything that Gold Disk's estimable products
can offer. And Pagestream 2.1 can import PDraw clips, according to the
advertisement!
