If you don't want to spend the $12.50/hour to download them, they are also available on GENie in the Letraset Roundtable. I don't believe the Letraset folks have the .AFM files, but I could be wrong. If you have a laserwriter or laserwriter+, you really want to get the Adobe versions of the bitmaps. They are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the ones shipped by Apple. And if you're using a program that reads .AFM files (Freehand and FullWrite are two I know of, offhand) you want those, too. It's an inexpensive way to really make your stuff (and your screen, while you're working on it) look better. I was amazed how much difference there was when I upgraded. chuq Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ Robert A. Heinlein: 1907-1988.
