There are many font enhancement programs for Windows.  I am wondering 
if any of you have a personal favorite that you feel is the best.
There are two basic types of font management programs that I have seen
so far.  The first type, works with bitmap fonts which are non-scalable.
i.e. when you resize one of these fonts, the type looks jagged.  These
programs seem to have only one solution to this problem, which is to 
build many fonts at different sizes.  This process is time consumming 
and wastes way too much hard disk space to be useful.  I believe 
this first class of type managers are next to completely useless.
The second type which allow for on-the-fly resizing similar to postscript
technology is really what I am interested in.  I currently use Adobe 
Type Manager.  Are there other (postscript interpreters or similar)
on the market that are better for use
with Windows 3.0?
