I read Brian's thoughtful and clear comparison after
sending my mail about font quality and matching problems. His
explanations call for no enhancement, but his conscience attack
is contagious. I neglected to mention that I have a commercial
association with Interleaf, Inc. which is both a buyer and seller
of printing systems, including from Imagen. We are regularly evaluating
printing systems from many vendors. I believe companies like Interleaf
will be induced by the marketplace to support some or all standard
page description languages. 
Personally I hope the forces tend toward PDL's as competent as
PostScript and Impress. Among those I see people potentially
demanding as well,
Interpress comes to mind if only it
had more graphics in it. Many people seem to want variants
of some of the standard graphics metafiles like VDM. The next year
or two will prove tumultuous and interesting I think.
