- Aye, this be true. However one nice thing that Softwood did with
- Final Copy I and II's installation is that all the proprietary
- NimbusQ fonts it uses live in the Final Copy drawer itself, not in
- your FONTS: device or fonts directory. So When you run Final Copy,
- and ask to load a font from its menu, you ONLY see its proprietary
- fonts listed, and conversely when you run your other software
- (Dpaint, PPage, whatever) and bring up a font requester, you don't see
- the Final Copy fonts.
-
- I just thought this deserved mentioning :)
