- Hello all, and I hope this does not set off another large flame war....but...
-
- At home I print on a LaserJet II. I have purchased several TrueType font
- packages from Microsoft and Bitstream. When I received my upgrade of
- WordPerfect from v5.1 to v5.2, the upgrade included the Adobe v2.5 font
- engine. I now have both ATM and TrueType installed on my system.
-
- The quality of the TrueType output far exceeds the quality of the ATM output
- on my LJII. Mayby postscript printers can imporve on the output, but on a
- standard LJII (with extra memory of course to print at 300dpi) I get much
- better output with the TrueType font engine. And I have always found that HP
- LaserJets are about as rock solid as printers get. They have terrific driver
- support from software vendors, and their output quality is great. I am as yet
- to be able to justify the extra money to get postscript on a printer.
-
- (I think that I may go duck now.)
