- The CG fonts had problems with kerning which even prowrite has not been able
- to solve. I dont think Softwood would add CG font support until this bug
- is fixed. Commodore doesn't seem to want to fix it and New Horizons says
- it's commodore's problem. Besides, who need the compugraphic fonts if
- you've got the much better quality Nimbus Q fonts. (OK, I realize some of
- you who do a lot of import/export documents to other programs may want
- compugraphic font support. :)
