atw: Re: New Fonts

Check out www.linotype.com Jonathan. I think you might find the pricing
is a bit more reasonable there.

Our marketing person was keen to buy a distinctive font for all our
publications including the technical manuals that I handle. The proposal
was rebuffed for a few reasons: costs a couple of hundred bucks per
seat; our manuals go with the technology and get reworked. From my
viewpoint I find that creating a PDF gives me some tough choices: map
the font into the defaults (losing the font) or embed (adds to the file
size). What have others found? To answer your question, one large US
company I worked for used the Rotring (like the pen) font. Jonathan
