Hi Harold,

AFP fonts can be purchased from IBM. Most fonts are licenced so we are
unable to distribute them with the AFP Renderer download. A quick google
turned up the following link, which may be of interest to you:

http://www-900.ibm.com/cn/support/library/printer/download/fsfont.pdf

There may be some other third party font authors, but I haven't looked
around for them.

Pete recently mentioned to me that one of the viewers you can download
for free actually came with some fonts (maybe the Barr AFP Viewer??)
which you may be able to use for testing.

I plan to get around to writing a quick start example and tutorial RSN
that explains some of these issues.

Cheers,
Joe
