I am very interested in finding out why there so little information about anti-aliased fonts. It seems that the mac is the perfect for bringing this useful technology to the public. Are there ways to make anti-aliased fonts and use them in regulur applications for the mac? I think that the recent OS releases havent helped the user in commonplace activities , we need enhancements such as: better clipboard, better font support, inter-app communication, etc.). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Interrante Software Engineering Research Center mfi@beach.cis.ufl.edu CIS Department, University of Florida 32611 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "X is just raster-op on wheels" - Bill Joy, January 1987
