Chris Torak:
In response to your message of 31 May 85 08:45:19 edt, about "horrible
disgusting swill," I suspect that you have never seen an Imagen font --
they have been available only the last couple of months.  As I mentioned
In my message of 29 Apr 85  1558 PDT, responding to similar earlier assertions:

Before David Fuchs comes out of his cage again, I will agree that Imagen
is still distributing second- or third-generation versions of Computer
Modern fonts rather than the fourth-generation versions that are currently
available.  I have it on good authority that Imagen will update their
distribution as soon as the fifth-generation (and allegedly final) version,
which is supposedly nearing completion, is released.
