Hi Angus,

Thanks for the reply on Performer Fonts.

When you refer to haeberli tools on Developer's toolbox,
are you referring to the CDROM that is distributed each
year at the developer's forum, or are you refering to
a web site on www.sgi.com?

1) if CDROM, which year? Are there other ways of obtaining this?

2) if web site address, do you know the URL?

3) in either case, is it possible to put this tool on the performer
web site for download?

Randy
