|He seemed pretty coherant, so I'd say it's probably true.

The 1.3 "Extras" disk distributed at DevCon included 3 Adobe fonts: Courier,
Helvetica and Times in a number of pointsizes (like 4 to 6 for each font).
The small point fonts don't look much better than the Amiga fonts, though
all are proportional, so they can be used with Desktop publishing programs.
