- Subject says it all, really. I bought an ATI 8514 Ultra a couple of
- months ago. It's ISA and MC and contains no VGA hardware but takes VGA
- output either from the slot or via the feature port (I use it with a
- Diamond Speedstar ET4k based SVGA). It came with Crystal Font drivers
- for Windows 3.0 and although only Times, Helvetica and Symbol were
- supported (and the "additional font pack" never materialized) it was a
- god sent, when I wrote my thesis with WinWord. Then came Windows 3.1
- with it's own font scaling engine and Crystal fonts ceased working.
- Now ATI is advertizing True Type compatible Crystal Font drivers for
- their new Mach 32 based Ultra series and I wonder whether they still
- happen to support their "old" hardware and whether 1) the new drivers
- can be used directly or 2) they have new drivers.
