Hello.

I downloaded the file fonts.lzh from cica, and installed most of the fonts
in it. I have access to a LaserWriter II NT, so the intent is to have
screen fonts for the built in fonts of the LaserWriter for use with MS Write.

Well, when I try to use Avant Garde or Bookman at 10 pt from within Write,
the screen font comes out Italic! The problem goes away if I a) use 12 pt
or b) uninstall the Avant-Garde Oblique / Bookman-Italic fonts from the
control panel. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?

Also, I have heard that ATM will better render Postscript fonts on screen
and other raster devices. Question: will it render the 35 fonts built into
the LaserWriter II NT (My impression is that it will only do 14). Can I
get the remaining font files via anon ftp? I don't want to purchase any
fonts, because the 35 built in fonts is all I need. I just want a way to
display them on screen.

Thanks!

Milan
