Ohhh, fonts are a big difference on the Macs and the PCs! Since you have
an imagesetter, you will be using postscript fonts a lot more than
Truetype. PCs tend to do better with truetype fonts tham with postscript.
The Mac is very good at handling postscript fonts and turining them off
and on (if you have the right software, I recommend Adobe ATM Deluxe).

I shouldn't feel the need to justify myself on this list but since I've
been branded as a "Mac enthusiast" I will say that I too work in a mostly
PC environment. There's only one other Mac guy in a company of about 15
employees in the place I work at (the company is amultimillion dollar
international company but I'm talking about my workplace). We spend all
day doing support on printing issues from different platforms to
different printers (especially postscript ones) and the nightmares we
have to face sometimes with windows would keep Wes Craven up at night!
