| 5160.1 | Does anybody actually have a copy yet? | IDONT::MIDDLETON | John | Thu Oct 31 1991 08:37 | 13 |
| As far as I know, it hasn't shipped yet. I put my order in two weeks ago, but
haven't received it yet. I got the impression when talking to Woody (hence
SoftWood) Williams that it wasn't quite ready to go.
I will say that the flyer he sent around had a very impressive example sheet
demonstrating outline fonts as printed on a "typical" dot matrix printer. If
what I actually get on my printer is reasonably close to that, I'll be happy.
But I do expect printing with my stock Amiga 2000 to be slow, which is one of
the reasons I starting thinking about an accelerator.

| 5160.2 | Lots of outline fonts needed. | BHOVS1::WILSONTL | Lead Trumpet (Read that...LEED!) | Thu Oct 31 1991 09:56 | 10 |
| I ordered it also (on the last day). I hope there are sufficient
outline fonts available with the package to do reasonable things. The
flyer didn't say if it could use bitmap fonts at all. This is chiefly
from memory. I don't have the flyer with me.
On the subject of the latter, has anyone a package that will convert
bitmap fonts to outline or some such. I heard that Compugraphics was
licensing their technology to developers.

It's true that individual developers (like Gold Disk) have licensed
Compugraphics technology, it's no longer necessary with AmigaDOS 2.04.
Compugraphics outline fonts are built into AmigaDOS.
