Are there any plans to support outline postscript fonts? In section
D.1.1 in section 2 of the 4Sight User's Guide it says:
"At present the IRIS Font Manager does not implement the full
PostScript font mechanism. It supports only bitmap fonts..."
Do the words "at present" imply some hope that outline fonts may be
supported in the future? We've got the OCRB and Swiss outline fonts from
Bitstream that we would love to include in our application.
