HI Carl
I thought the MacHandwriter stuff has been on the market for a year or
two; seem to remember reading about it way long ago. (People kept
talking about when Apple was going to have it for 'Mericans.
I assume since you're talking about MacWrtr II, the first one was not
Kanji.
What is the character count/typeface size? I know Apple/Adobe put out
the Laserwriter Js and they could only hold two typefaces in ROM.
I ask this because any Newt version would have to have TrueType faces;
Apple would have to have a foundry design them; they would take up a bit
of space. How likely is that in the 1st gen device?
Apple may also leave it up to 3rd party types. They, according to
MacLeek, are supposed to announce more partners at the end of March.
