Before you do this, I suggest you double-check with Adobe that it's okay.
there's a big difference between passing the fonts around among friends and
making them available via a network. You might find yourself in violation of
their licenses if you aren't careful. I don't see why they should mind,
personally, but I wouldn't take it for granted.

Also be aware that the fonts get VERY large. If you want more than just the
lw and or lw+ bitmaps, you're going to be posting for quite a while.

They are available from CompuServe and from GENie (in the Letraset forum)
right now.

Boston isn't public-domain. It's shareware.
