Hi, all.  I'm new to the group, and I may be asking a FAQ, but
I'd appreciate e-mail replies.  I'll post a summary to the net.

Can anyone point me to a basic summary of the aspects of font implementatiopn
on the Mac?  By this, I mean explanations of construction, usage, and
comparison of what has been (Postscript, ATM stuff, etc) what is 
(Truetype, outline technology), and what will be (?).  Also, what
about "type 1", "type 3", etc.?


Thanks in advance,

John Miller
