[Am-info] Re: True-Type fonts "gone!"

[Mitch Stone]

I don't know why you're having a problem. MacOS X supports Postscript and 
TT fonts. I haven't found an (OSX) application yet that doesn't allow me 
to use both the TT and Type 1 fonts I'd installed in my OS9 System Folder 
years ago, as well as the TT fonts installed in the OSX System folder. 
Cocoa applications support fonts through the universal Font Pane. Fonts 
old and new, TT and Type 1, are listed there -- at least on my systems 
they are.
