I bought it originaly last fall after seeing it demoed at the Windows show in Boston. At that time it was OK, but nothing to rave about. About the first of the year, they did a major upgrade to it and were kind enough to send it out as an upgrade for FREE! I also had taken them up on a low cost upgrade that added more fonts. It really does give you back the computer as soon as the application can finish sending it the data to be printed. I use it for both my DeskJet+ at home and an IBM 4109 laser in HOP emulation mode at work. I've also used in in HP Paintjet mode. It comes with a bunch of fonts and with the add on mentioned above gives you a total of 74 fonts in any size you need. It will accept HP Soft Fonts, Adobe Type 1 fonts (no hinting), Bitstream Fontware v2.10, Compugraphic Intellifont v2.11, and The Company's Nimbus Q v3.0 fonts as add ons. I only have the ones sold by Zenographics in the two packages and it takes up about 3.2 meg of disk space. The families it comes with are (this includes the add on package): AvantGarde Bookman CenturySchoolbook Courier Helv Helvitica-Narrow Helvitica ITC Avant Garde ITC Bookman ITC Zapf Chancery ITC Zapf Dingbats NewCenturySchlbk Nimbus Mono Nimbus Roman Nimbus Sans Palatino Palermo Symbol Tms Roman URW SymbolPS ZapfChancery Futura Bitstream Charter Typing that list - There may be some dupes that occurred because of the upgrade, but I think they really are all different. It supposedly will accept the fonts that come with the new version of Corel Draw also, even after you modify them in Corel. (I haven't tried it yet.) /s/ Bob Gettys Just a satisfied user
