Free fonts until September 1?

["Thomas Michanek" <thomas.michanek@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some of you may remember the commotion last December regarding
the CD-ROM Type On Call (TOC) that was bundled with FM 5.5.6.
( See http://www.egroups.com/message/framers/21933 )
TOC was shipped together with FM 5.5.x up until late autumn
1999, and gave free access to a number of Adobe Type 1 fonts.

TOC is now discontinued and is no longer shipped, but those of
you who *did* receive the TOC CD with FM 5.5.x may still be able
to get access to (unlock) these free fonts. To quote Adobe:

  "NOTE for U.S. and Canadian Customers:
   Adobe no longer sells the Type On Call CD-ROM in North America
   and will discontinue Type On Call unlocking for North American
   customers as of September 1, 2000."
( See http://www.adobe.com/store/products/typeoncall.html )

  "Free Fonts and Type Utilities Bundled with Adobe Products:
   If you received your copy of Type On Call 4.2 with a full
   retail copy of Adobe FrameMaker, Photoshop, PageMaker, or
   Illustrator, you'll receive an access key for an additional
   220 free typefaces when you register Type On Call."
( See http://www.adobe.com/support/salesdocs/43c2.htm )

FM 5.5.6 users were able to get 220 free fonts in December, 1999
and the above quotes seem to indicate that this could still be
possible up until September 1, provided you already have TOC 4.2.

For a positive user experience, please read the framers message

( Instructions for TOC 4.1 can also be found in http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/c516.htm )

Good luck and let us know how it works out :-)
