I've had nothing but great service from WestCode. Pointless 2.01 is great,
they have an excellent scanner+InWords bundle for $199.95 (which they informed
me when I called asking them about InWords- $49.95 for it). HP for $35 is a
steal even if you have to wait a while.
 
I find the TypeWest amusing, as I did not order it! I was charged for it, but
WestCode was very nice about it all.In the end I kept it as it is quite a
nice collection of fonts. For $15 they will also send you the PC/Mac versions.
So any way you cut it, the font collection is a bargain.
 
Now, is there a way to change GS True Type fonts to Mac ones. I have a utility
to turn them into NeXT Postscript Type 1 fonts which is my ultimate aim.
