I've got a few questions about fonts that I hope Windows users have some
answers to.
Is it possible to get standard (*.fon) files that correspond to the standard 35
fonts that are on a postscript laser printer? Basically I am not that concerned
with high resolution on the screen, but I would like to be able to use the
standard ps fonts in write and excel and print them to the laser printer. 
On cica I see megabytes of Adobe Type 1 fonts, but no simple *.fon files that I
can load in with the Control Panel.
Am I missing something obvious, is there a way to get a bitmap (*.fon) version
of these fonts for none ATM users.
If someone could provide a clear explanation explaining all the different font
formats and what was compatible with what I really would appreciate it.

Thanks,
