That's also why I ported the t1utils. I bought one of the "good and
cheap CDs", then went out and bought a quality font collection from
Adobe. I use both regularly with Applixware, but that's apparently one
of the things that was improved going from 4.4.2 to 5.0: The support
for PS fonts was brought up to par with that for TrueType fonts.
