Thanks to those people who were so kind in answering my query; Their solutions, changing the file type of the outline files solved the problem. There are also two minor followups: 1. With Suitcase II, you can place the outline files in the folder where the Suitcase opened a suitcase file, instead of the System Folder. By changing the creator, you can no longer do this. 2. A friend pointed out to me that the dumped hex data are not bitmaps, but are Adobe Type I font outline data. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -+- / \ +-------+ -+-+- / \ Satoshi Matsuoka /|\ / \ | \ / | +-+ / Research Faculty | | --+-- | +-+ /__\ Dept. of Information Science | / | |_|_| | -+-+- The University of Tokyo | /___\ | | | / \_/ \ E-mail: matsu@is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp Physical mail: 7-3-1 Bunkyo-ku, Hongo, Tokyo, Japan 113 Office: +81-3-812-2111 ex. 4108 (8:30-18:00 JST) Direct line to lab., automatically switches audio/fax: +81-3-5689-4365
