Adobe Illustrator v7.0
Adobe Photoshop v5.0
Adobe Type Library
All for Windows95. Corel supports Postscript no problem, but it is very
finicky software and on my personal "Most Hated Software" list. After working
in a Service Bureau for 7 years I learned to really hate Corel Corporation and
their products. When you have to tell thier tech support how to operate their
own software I know I'm on my own.

Eh, learned a long time ago that precise fonts don't really matter. I
think "pumper" is part of the Font Corporation family, but I'm not sure. I
try to stick to the Adobe Type Library since it's the highest quality fonts on
the planet and name level designers: they are really good. Since I'm going to
be blowing this up pretty big on my truck, I don't want to use cheesy fonts.
Personally, I think the "Revue" looks real nice: bold and easy to read. Oh,
and never ask a print shop to surrender a font, it can get them into BIG
trouble unless the font is under public release ^_^ . I watched a competitor
of the place I used to work at get shut down for this very thing...
