=======================================================

Here is some info I found regarding Ventura. Hope it helps.
Looks like one needs to upgrade to 4.1 to use the TrueType fonts.
Otherwise, see if you can use the Type 1 version of TriChlor fonts.
The Type 1 fonts can be found on sonygate.
c.b.

I have not been able to get TrueType fornts to work with Ventura 4.0. Has anyone had better luck. It will work only if I disable the TrueType option in the Control Panel.  

Thanks,

Tim Guerrette

I think it really depends on what kind of printer you use.  I disable TT
when I'm using VP because I use a PostScript printer (LaserWriter NT).
Somewhere between TT, VP's width table, ATM, Windows Print Manager, and the
printer the kerning gets out of whack.  When I disable TT, everybody talks
Postscript.

If you're using a non-PostScript printer, you may have better luck with TT.
In general, it's probably best to use either TT or PostScript, but use it
exclusively.

Ventura 4.1 is now TrueType tolerant, in fact they've started endorsing 
TT use at VSI and are no longer including ATM with the package.  They 
still suggest using ATM and Type 1 fonts if you are actually printing to 
a postscript device.  The upgrade price for registered users of VP Win is 
$49 and if you purchased after September ? 1992 the upgrade is free but 
these prices are only good until December 31 1992.
