Not so! They did, at least on CorelDraw and CorelVentura disks. Don't know
about WP.
Of course, we also *could* support Corel's foray into the Linux world by
actually sending some cash their way -- WordPerfect has always been an
excellent product. The shrinkwrap version of WordPerfect/Linux supposedly
has 130 fonts on the CD -- and I bet those are Type 1 (i.e. postscript).
