- Gee, Amiga went against "the standard" and you seem to like it. Sometimes
- when the "standard" is falling short, a new entry is needed.

- .... which comes to about 98% of Amiga users. :-) I have nearly 200 NimbusQ
- fonts for Final Copy.
-
- I certainly looking forward to a NimbusQ <> Type 1 conversion util.
-
- BTW- "those dippy NimbusFonts" are by no means "dippy." They are VERY high
- quality and the print engine blows Compugraphics out of the water. There
- are many Nimbus fonts out there, though these are the first for the Amiga.
- They are more readily available to professional type setters.
