If you need to see the phonetic symbols the way they are ment to be seen , you must use the graphics page. There are several ways to do this, and probably the easiest is with shape tables. Also, the old HRCG was pretty nice, though slow. And I have seen in Nibble some 80 column graphics text that I guess should be easy to use (Hay, it comes from Nibble, right?) In anycase, there are now a ton of maclike wordprocessors for the //e\//c, and most allow custom fonts. As for downloading fonts to the imagewriter, well, I just got a beta version of PowerPrint from Beagle Bros. A beta version, you ask? Well, It's a beta test for the C.Itoh Prowriter. In anycase, it looks like a very nice program, and it supports a _lot_ of printers. The only thing is, it has mac-like windows etc, but no mouse support. . . I think I would have prefered no windows, but then. . .
