I've read the books, and I've purchased Turbo TeX for a PC, but I can't see the relation between the TeX language and the fonts available on H-P and Postscript printers. Question: Am I able to select and use the hard and soft fonts available from H-P, Adobe, etc.? If so, what is involved (in thumb-nail form)? Any elucidations welcome. Mark T.
