- I don't know if there's a FAQL for this group, but this should be at the top
- if it.

- Microsoft's TrueType Font Pack, originally marketed just with Windows 3.1 but
- now available seperately, has all of the PostScript fonts (with different
- names) and a few others. Palatino is called Book Antiqua; I have Adobe's
- Type 1 Palatino and the Microsoft equivalent -- there is virtually no
- difference. What difference there is, as far as can tell, is just in a few
- letter stylings, not actual quality.
-
- The font pack is in general of really good quality and it's very cheap. If you
- need TrueType Palatino, this is a good place to find it.
