- The following revelation escaped Richard Sherman's lips:

-
- Pointless doesn't care what the file type is. It will automatically
- change it to $C8/$0001 when you first load it in.
-
- > I'm also wondering where I can download TrueType versions of Avant Garde,

-
- If there isn't any legal problem with uploading those fonts, I can
- stick 'em on caltech.
-
- > One last question. I downloaded the TrueType version of Times from
- > cco.caltech.edu and the file is about 240K. Why so big?
-
- It contains the plain, bold, italic and bold-italic variations of the
- Times typeface. You should try to stick with fonts that have these
- pre-made styles rather than letting QuickDraw II do the styling. Your
- printed results will be worth it.
