One other thing that I have a problem with Pro Draw text is that they
only supply 2 fonts with it, in their own undocumented format.  I was
upset about this because I have access to a bunch of Adobe and Bitstream
fonts and I would like to use it with Pro Draw.  They either should
provide a utility to convert Adobe fonts to their format, or at
least document their format so I can write mine own conversion program.
Instead, it looks like that they want you to buy fonts only from them.
I think this is poor practice and I encourage people who have Pro Draw
to complain about it as I did.
