- Apple does distribute the TruType versions Bookman, Palatino, Avant Garde,
- etc. as a package for StyleWriter users, for some nominal fee.
-
- Apple also sells a True Type Font Collection that has (I think) about 44
- very high quality styles in about 15 or so families. A couple of them are
- duplicates of the Bookman, etc. package mentioned above. Most are unique
- and useful, although it has a couple too many script/cursive styles for my
- taste. Not as good a bargain as the KeyFonts package, but a good addition.
