I've at last taken the plunge and have Windows OvPro to complement the
SA-VRPC RISC OS version, but I'm struggling with the fonts.
Under RISC OS I have the lovely flexible !FontDirPro which allows me
to group all the fonts (e.g. serif/sans/basics folders) and to switch
on or off either groups or individual sets. With Windows I'm swamped
with fonts, where for DTP I really need only certain ones of my
choosing (mainly from the EFF Typography CD which has RISC OS & TT
versions) while allowing .doc files sent to me to appear as the
authors intended.
Dave Symes pointed me to The Font Thingy and I've downloaded that to
the XP computer - I'm currently trying to tame it. But I also have a
laptop running W7 64-bit. The Font Thingy is version 0.8 from about
1999 and the W7 laptop squawks in protest and tells me to get it
fixed or else.
Any ideas please?
