Prerelease version and typefaces

[Robert Lavenda <lavenda>]

Jsut a note regarding NBWin and typefaces/fonts. NBWin is limited in the
number of typefaces that a user can have installed on his or her system.
While I do not know the exact number, I do know that the nearly 1,000 Type 1
and TrueType faces that I have installed are too many. This is a known
limitation and I do not think it can be changed, since it is deeply embedded
in the program (this is a problem in XYWrite for Windows, also).

I solve the problem by having a set of 140 type faces under Adobe Type
Manager that I use for NBWin, and then go back to the larger set for other
projects. Remember that each typeface you have installed may have as many as
4 or more separate files that count as fonts--regular, italic, bold, and
bold italic are the norm for most serif and san serif typefaces.


Best wishes for the New Year!
