XY-> real role of those fonts in the Windows product. If you use Windows printer

 -> supplement the Windows character set for those characters not present there

XY-> Otherwise, the TrueType fonts are used for printer and screen.

XY-> I think many people have not experimented with using Windows printer driver

XY-> The display is generally much better.


I quite agree: PSB via ATM (or Truetype) is quite handsome. I
only wonder whether you intend to synch the XyWrite character set
with the Window's set. It would certainly be a giant step forward
regarding compatibility between XyWrite and other
Windows' programs, such as Quark.

Incidentally, the new features in the v. 4's Customization
Guide are very, very impressive. It would even seem possible to
somehow coordinate the Windows' ANSI sequences with the
XyWrite character-numbering system.

Of course, it would be a lot easier if TTG would do it.
