	In regaurdes to the above, I can safely say that yes there are more
fonts available for Publishing Partner many have been placed in the public 
domain, and there are quite a few put out by The Font Factory. I have about 
one single sided disk full of the various fonts, with a little more room 
left for the saved doc file. I am however using an extended formatter.

	As far as the available fonts for the Laserprinter, I will assume 
that you are talking about the Apple Lasor Writer. You will have to check out
just how many fonts are supported with the Lasor Writer plus. I do know that 
the Lasor Writer ( not the plus ) will use two fonts, which are Times and 
Helvetica, as our club has access to a Apple Lasor Writer, and our entire 
newsletter is done through Publishing Partner. Still in all, even with only 
the two fonts, the Newsletter is excellent < Not that i'm partial :-) >

	As soon as the Lasor Writer is upgraded to a Plus, we will be able 
to use more fonts. I do not know what extra fonts will be available though.

	Helvetica comes with Publishing Partner, and Times (Times_Roman) is 
in the public domain.
