- Cool. That is very cool. I use POST on my Amiga, which is nearly as cool. I
- can cut and paste stuff from the articles I read and try out the Postscript
- on screen and look at the results while I am on-line. I tried your 2/3 box
- hack just now. Very strange. Times is right on, and Helvetica is off the
- scale, while Courier is way under the scale.

- I tried a bunch of other fonts on here - Kable, Bible Script, Princeton,
- Gill, Stone, Balmoral, and they are ALL all over the place.
-
- I learned the 2/3 rule on Compugraphic MCS typesetting systems. Maybe their
- fonts conform. Adobe's sure don't.
-
- Oh well. I didn't know there was a comp.sys.postscript group. I will have
- to look into getting that. I find this very fascinating.
