RE: ABI Word Fonts

["Poletti, Don" <don poletti comverse-in com>]

If you're duel booting with windows try
installing xfstt. Which is a font server that support
true type. There are instructions there on how to get 
it to use all the windows (or any true type font).

The problem that all the X word processors have is although
this will make it look nice on the screen it won't enable
you to print the nice fonts. You can thank the X consortium
for that.
