- Okay, before anybody flames this guy for being "so stupid" as to try to
- run Illustrator 3.0 under System 7 (when he "has" to upgrade to v. 3.2) I
- happen to be running Illustrator 3.0 under System 7.1 on a Mac SE with
- 4MB/20MB HD. How's _that_ for eclectic?
-
- My questions are:
- Do you have a copy of ATM 2.0 or higher? ATM 2.0 with a compatible version
- of Suitcase will allow you to have Postscript fonts in any folder that has
- an open suitcase. (I created a "PostScript Fonts" folder, and keep the
- printer file and their respective bitmaps in it.) ATM 2.0 will not only
- allow you to use the printer files in lieu of bitmaps, but you can also
- use ATM to "capture" the outlines, so you can edit them or have text in a
- file without having to worry about having the font when you finally print
- it out. If you are using System 7.1, I'd suggest getting a copy of ATM
- 3.0; it's cheap, and you don't have to worry about locating the fonts in
- the Extensions Folder or the Fonts Folder; ATM 3.0 looks in both places.
-
- I have learned that, on my computer anyway, you can locate all of your
- fonts in the Fonts Folder in System 7.1 and Illustrator can find them. So
- I can assume that you could get away with having them in the Extensions
- Folder of 7.0.x without any snags.
-
- Hope this helps!
