- I want to start by saying I COMMEND THE EXECUTOR effort. A lot. However,
- at $300 Executor has a *serious* productivity hole: weak font support.
-
- Now, I don't know who Ardi is tageting with this software, but I'll tell
- you what: Without real printing and font support (forget network...for
- now) I cannot think of one company (YES, I asked several, both Mac, Pc
- and Mixed) that would buy it. They've seen it, they understand what it's
- meant to do, but the same thing kept comming up: What about fonts? How
- do we print?
-
- I think that Ardi should REALLY think about this. A lot. However, from
- the recent tone of ctm@ardi.com's posts, I don't think they are *really
- listening* anymore...but I'm telling you, in pro shops where we'd love
- to be able to put The Suite (Pgemaker, Illy 5/6, Freehand 4/5,
- QuarkXpress3.3x) on a PC (save on hardware, and it would be *perfect* if
- a Mac goes down) it would be like, as my mentor used to say, "Breast on
- Trees": Nice to look at, but what do you do with it?
-
- If you *know* how to support inits/fonts, it would be real wise to take
- the extra two months to put this functionality in the shipping product.
-
- Anyone else here know what I'm saying? Am I alone in this far-fetched
- belief?
