- I bought MoreFonts by Micrologic Software for my PC this
- weekend. A major factor in my decision was the fact that
- (supposedly) it could read Postscript Type 1 format fonts.
- At least that is what the back of the box says, but I guess
- it's ok for companies to put anything back there, even if it is
- untrue. So I get home and read the manual, but it enerv mentions
- using Postscript fonts. Hmmm. I call tech support and they
- tell me their product can do it, but it'll be an extra $39.95!
- I tell them the back of the box explicitly says it can read
- Postscript fonts and there is no mention of an extra cost. They
- just ask for my credit card number so I can order one. :(
- Needless to say, I have already taken back the software and got my
- money back. So, anyone else thinking about buying this to
- read Postscript fonts (like the ^%#$^& back says) think again.
