- Different PostScript devices often come with a different
- set of basic fonts. The NeXT comes with the basic 13
- that we all know and love (Four Times faces, four
- Helvetica faces, four Courier, and Symbol). To fill out
- the basic 35 (which includes ZapfChancery-MediumItalic
- and the NewCenturySchoolbook faces) you can get the Adobe
- PlusPack.
-
- I think it's sold through RightBrain in a NeXT-native
- format. Otherwise, I think Adobe has it in NeXT native
- format. Otherwise, there's the PC PlusPack and you can
- use pfb2pfa to convert.
