- You should probably invest your money in Freedom of Press or some other sort
- of Postscript interpreter. FoP Light (17 fonts) runs about $55 or so, and
- the full-fledged FoP is a lot more (I forgot, sorry). However, PS interpreters
- are not very fast and they don't deal too well with converted TrueType fonts
- (i.e., used Metamorphasis or Fontographer to create them), but they work fine
- with the TT fonts supplied by Apple (Times, etc.).
