I noticed (sadly) that the NeXT Courier Bold and the Apple laserwriter
Courier Bold fonts are different. The characters that caused me to notice this
are ` and '.  The NeXT Courier Bold has Palatino type quotes. They are
both slanted in the same direction, but the open quote is heavier on the
bottom and the close quote is heavier on top. I really don't like them this
way because they look too similar, I prefer opposite slants. I know this
may seem picky, but my manager won't accept the NeXT quotes. It's not really
a problem to just send the document to a laserwriter, but it would be nice
to be able to send it anywhere. So I was wondering if there was a public
domain Courier set somewhere that had some decent quotes that I could ftp 
or nab somehow.

I guess we could buy the Courier set from adobe and transfer them to the
NeXT, but I thought I'd check here first.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
