Yes, it is. Which is why, I note in the docs how important it is to use good fonts. Many free fonts, especially True Type, will look decent on screen, but when you go to actually print something to a high end printer they break. One of the things that happens to True Type fonts is, depending on the situation, the fonts are converted to postscript outlines or converted to Type42 in the RIP - that is when a poorly designed font breaks. It is just the real world case where there are many more free True Type fonts of dubious quality. It has nothing to do with the True Type format. Hope that explains a bit to the list, why this is mentioned in the docs. Regards, Peter
