I've had the Acrobat reader for at least 5 years.
It is on the web and is for free, and runs on unix/linux,
windows, mac os,...etc

What I do not have is an Acrobat *writer*. So I cannot
create pdf files. I can only read pdf files that already
exist. One drawback is that the Acrobat reader does not
respond to "cut-and-paste", i.e. you cannot transfer
sections of acrobat texts to your clipboard, and from there
to other editors. That means that acrobat material is more
cumbersome to work with, for example in connection with
translations, because you then cannot just insert translations
"in-between" given text lines. This drawback may however
not be very important.

I did download the font, but didn't install it, because
I lost the zip/unzip application when I installed the new
system last year. (the hd was formatted) Maybe zip/unzip
now is default with windows? I could install the font, but
it would take me some time to find the old diskettes where
I have zip/unzip and install the program. (I used it under
MS dos).
