Currently the only place you can get Adobe fonts for the NeXT is through
our company, RightBrain Software.  We usually ship on the same day we get
your order, on floppies, and we have over 1,000 fonts in the library.
These fonts are actually mastered at Adobe, from their data, so they
include the bitmap versions for smaller sizes and they are manufactured
in NeXT format directly (they're not converted from the Mac format, for
example).  The fonts are supported by both us and Adobe.

If you're interested in a font calendar and brochure, give us a call
at 1-800-4-RBRAIN, send Email to "fonts@heaven.woodside.ca.us", or call
415-326-2974 if you're outside the U.S. or Canada.  We can also just send
you fonts, if you already know what you want.  We ship all orders
Federal Express for free.

Sorry if this sounds more like an advertisement than a hint :-)
