You can use Type 1 fonts with OS/2. (They are often referred to as
"ATM fonts.") These are available from numerous sources, including many
local bulletin boards. There's a good selection of them at hobbes, in
the multimedia/fonts directory. An excellent commercial source is the
Bitstream 500 font CD.
When you add the new fonts, don't forget to add them to both ATM and
also in OS/2's font palette.
If you run Windows programs under OS/2, they can use True Type fonts.

Get a handy little shareware app called Font Folder for OS/2. Available on any
OS/2 bb. I have access to all but 7 of the over 8 hundred ATM fonts on my Corel
Draw 5 disk. You can add 'em, delete 'em, and all without installing them permanently
under ATM OS/2. They work with DeScribe, Ami Pro for OS/2, IBM Works, not a
problem in the world so far.

I'm doing it. With OS/2 I can be in several places,
and doing several things at the same time, and
I can fly first class, not coach.
WARPed and proud!

BTW, there is also a program called PFM2AFM which converts the missing
AFM file from some ZIP files.
There are also shareware CD's with loads of fonts. Worth $10-15.

Make sure they are Postscript Type I fonts. Also, the shareware program
Font Folder is a must if you plan on using a lot of different fonts.
It's available at hobbes.

When you add fonts to the font palette does that use more RAM for the OS?
I remember reading an IBM released performance hints doc which stated you
should keep fonts to a minimum to conserve memory on low RAM systems.
