"Future versions of the popular Corel LINUX OS will also include the
Linux font server from Bitstream."
"Bitstream Inc. and Corel Corporation announced today that the
Linux font server from Bitstream has been incorporated into the
highly-anticipated WordPerfect Office 2000, a comprehensive office
productivity suite for the Linux OS. In addition, the Linux font server
from Bitstream will be included in future versions of Corel LINUX OS, which
has been downloaded by over 200,000 Linux users to date."
"'We view the WordPerfect Office 2000 program as a new standard for the
Linux platform,' said Anna Chagnon, executive vice president and chief
operating officer for Bitstream. 'It is the first product that gives Linux
a desktop application suite comparable to Windows. Our Linux font server
fulfills Corel's critical need for a high-quality font subsystem with
cross-platform capabilities. We are very pleased to have worked with Corel
in bringing the Linux OS to a wider commercial audience.'"
"The Linux font server from Bitstream can render TrueType fonts, in
addition to PostScript Type 1, Speedo, and other industry standard font
formats. The new Bitstream technology will help the Linux platform overcome
one of its most significant barriers to acceptance in the desktop market."
