- First, Pointless won't improve on the resolution of your printer. It
- will, however, let you always have the perfect size available. As to
- converting fonts from the Mac, that's easy. Put in the Mac disk with the
- fonts, copy them to the GS, and "Add" them to Pointless. That's it.
- Converting fonts from Windows is harder, and requires a Mac with
- Metamorphosis or Fontographer to convert them to Mac format.

- I haven't seen this problem, but I don't print in Courier very much.
- The stuff I've done in Courier works fine, though, so I doubt it's Pointless.

- Not that I know of... If there is a way, I'd like to know, too!
