Hello net.folks!

I just generated a UNIX PostScript file from a GeoWrite document
for the first time. Upon examining it, everything looked as it should,
except for one thing which puzzled me. In a part of the program that
listed the possible fonts, it gave not only the Times Roman, 
Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica available under GEOS, but also
Avant Garde, Bookman, New Century Scoolbook, Palatino Roman, Zapf
Chancery, and Zapf Dingbats.

This would seem to indicate that, with the proper software, these
fonts could be used within GEOS, and be laser-printed as PostScript
outline fonts, just like the other four. Does anyone out there have
any idea if someone has implemented these for the Commodore? If so,
where can they be obtained? (I don't have a Q-Link account.)

Thanks in advance!
