however i suggest you call adobe and get their font distro (if they even
know where it is or will sell it ! )
they used to sell high q fonts and unix tools on a CD
i'm a hacker i hate "giving in". on the other hand i wouldn't suggest
hours font headaches if Adobe has a CD that is inexpensive and the real deal
