Uh, folks, before you go posting this stuff on the networks and make it
available for FTP from everywhere, shouldn't you check with Adobe to make
sure that you can LEGALLY post these screen fonts? Adobe makes them available
on CompuServe, sells them for $50 per screen font package, and lets service
bureaus redistribute them (as long as they sign an agreement with Adobe).
They are also available in the LetraSet roundtable on GEnie. I don't think
they will like them being posted here without their permission, and in a
modified form, yet (NFNT's). As far as NFNT's go, you should get Suitcase II,
MasterJuggler, or the freeware NFNT 1.1 program (from Olduvai Software) to
create the NFNT's on your system.
