Jeff, I"m downloading it to my Mac...when I have time monday I'll fire it up
and see if my older Adobe will open it and print it and let you know. I only
have b/w printer but if it works I have a printshop I use (they printed the
font file for me) and have them do it in color.
Let you know how it comes out!
