Summary: Adobe removed some of the copy protection


Adobe has removed some of the copy protection on their fonts. The Mac disk
you get is now copyable, and you no longer have to use the initializer
program to initialize those fonts for your particular printer; you can simply
drag the printer fonts into your system folder. Adobe probably still has the
spline protected (as mentioned in an earlier message). Current owners of Adobe
fonts can upgrade to the non-perverted ones for something like $50/typeface,
if I remember correctly.

I have used Adobe non-LaserWriter fonts in Cricket Draw and printed them on
our Linotronic 100 before. However, I don't recall doing many special effects
with the text, so the problems the original poster may be having might be 
related to the complexity of the document. Cricket Draw has many problems with
the Linotron typesetters, and while the next version of Cricket Draw will be 
more reliable, it probably won't be much faster (at least that's what they told
me at MacWorld).
